I do not have a gray ponytail.
I do not wear white New Balance 608s.
None of my clothes came from Costco.
I own no gold jewelry, coin necklaces or otherwise.

But I love Corvettes, and I’m not sorry. This one is obviously not pristine, but it’s also pretty cheap. It’s not clapped out, but it’s worn enough that one could

That $8500 is just a down payment on all the stuff that’s about to start breaking on a modern(ish) Benz with 164k miles. It looks tempting at such a low point of entry, but would actually be a pain in the ass in day to day reality. ND.

I saw an Aston Martin Cygnet street parked in Paris one time but I didn’t think to take a picture because although I knew what it was, I didn’t realize at the time just how rare they were.

I know that Times Are Hard™, but I drive a 2018 Silverado for which I paid $29k and change brand new. This is a nice truck, but at that price with that mileage, it’s a hard and easy no, even with the Z71 package that will never get used.

Seems like the Trump livery should include some Sharpie detailing somewhere.

I had a ‘92 Cutlass Supreme ‘vert with that same 3800 and similar wraparound dash, etc. It got a lot of surprised raised eyebrows as I drove it well into the 2000s. I sometimes miss that car, but like so many of its GM brethren, the motor just kept right on purring while *everything* else fell apart around it.

Too much coin for too old. Incredibly well-kept, but that price could only be justified by Jurassic Park livery.

This made me legit lol; kudos + star (but not actually kudos bc they stopped making those like a decade ago, so just star).

Another in the recent spate of “Who the hell preserved THIS so well, why did they do it, and now who the hell wants to pay that kind of coin for ~100 entirely uninspiring horses?”
ND, not even close. This would fit better in ‘Meh Car Monday’ (RIP).

Every time I see an EcoSport in “Titanium” trim, I want to ask the driver just how fucking stupid they are. Damn thing starts at $30k!!!

NOTHING is sad about this car’s departure. It’s the worst of both worlds...too small to be a capable SUV and too ungainly to reap the benefits of a small car.

FUCK this thing, and good riddance.

It’s beautiful, but mid-$30s for no shower and no black tank is pretty much preposterous.

Hashtag thanks, Nader. 

“... all of Fleetwood Mac’s classic album covers are actually really crappy...”

13 large for 80 miles of range is one of the biggest crack pipes ever seen here. Bonus points for the appropriately blobby style-less styling.

Lamentable nomenclature notwithstanding, it’s one of the United States’ largest and best state parks. 

“New car + teenager” is not a good course of action in any context.

Star for the use of the word “ourobouros.”

True story: the guy who won the contest to name the Pontiac ute that never got built got for his talents his choice of any Pontiac vehicle of his choice. He picked a Torrent, and I feel like that story says it all about why Pontiac is not a thing anymore. 

This just in: That face is still ugly as fuck.
