Does the Youabian Puma count? It’s gotta be that one, right?

Yellowstone is pretty rad.

Jalopnik did a great piece about exactly this a couple of years ago. The RV manufacturers basically told them, “I dunno, that’s just kind of how it’s always been, and how everyone does it.”

Purple. It shouldn’t be limited to just a couple of Mopar rides (Wrangler, Challenger) and then the occasional Mitsubishi Mirage. If the underlying designs are going to be increasingly boring, then at least let me spec, like, a CRV or a Camry in purple!

Racist, bumpkin ass county schools are hostile to BLM and cowardly enough to hide behind something as stupidly antiquated and discriminatory as the dress code?

His “Crash Course World History” videos (easily findable on YouTube) are also absolutely brilliant. If you want to quickly (12ish minutes) learn about any historical topic covered by one of them, there’s nothing else out there that will do as good a job. They feature regularly in my history classroom.

I’m in this camp too. I still mutter irritatedly under my breath every time I see one: about its ugly, impractical absurdity, about the stupidity of the buyer for ponying up for that “worst of all worlds” compromise-mobile, about Ford’s cynicism in bringing a crap model that was never intended for the United States to

Hot take:

16 years old, 160k miles, for how much????

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVDs have a fantastic array of shorts available, and can generally be had for a song via eBay or Amazon. Vols 1-6 inclusive (24 discs total) can be bought as a complete set for $90 on Amazon.

This list is missing both ‘John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together’ and ‘Christmas with the California Raisins,’ and is thus wrong.

My first and so far only experience at a dealership was very positive. In the fall of 2018, I was in the market for a full-size pickup with tow package, and I had zeroed in on Chevrolets for a handful of reasons. I was fairly certain that I’d be shopping used, until I found an online listing for a new 2018 Silverado

Good clarification here, although, in the writer’s defense, it’s pretty tough to maintain focus throughout that film since it’s ploddingly paced and boring as shit.

This is a great-looking car with some very real bonafides. The styling is pretty different than anything rolling off assembly lines these days, but has aged well enough to, in my opinion, hit the sweet spot that’s distinctive enough to overcome boredom without being outlandish.

This seems like a prime candidate for a powertrain swap. The chassis and body are clean, and the paint could be easily upgraded to make a cool, distinctive ride, or left as-is for a dope sleeper. It’s manual and it’s awesomely weird. I like it. NP.

I submit that Sweet Tooth’s ice cream truck from Twisted Metal is an egregious omission here, 1) because the franchise was a creative (and fun!) departure from usual racing game fare, and 2) because said franchise was also instrumental in the launch of the PlayStation brand, being one of the first titles released

Are you aware that Georgia has already elected Sen. Warnock once? That the state (crucially, I might add) delivered two Democratic senators in the 2020 election cycle, while also going blue in that presidential election?

Geography pedant, here to point out precisely the same.

Sportbak or nothin’!

It’s impressively clean, and it has some styling panache that’s lamentably bereft from today’s econo-rides.
