...On a good day, and 10 mpg as an added bonus.

I have been a programmer/systems analyst for almost 40 years.  I didn’t get into the profession because “I liked computers”, I did it because I wanted to make them my bitch.  (And the money.  The money was damn good.)  When their input/output methods make me jump through hoops, it’s poorly done and totally misses its…

The French Connection was great beginning to end. Far better than that cheap Hollywood knockoff, “The Seven-Ups”.

And Vietnam.

Rather than dealing with the federal government, they will charge it to the owner’s comprehensive insurance, then jack up his rates big time.

Smoky and the Bandit Trans Am. That movie really polished that turd.

I took the driving test for my license in a ‘67 F-85 with a 3 on the tree and no power steering.  The cop was impressed, especially when I parallel parked it.

If you’ve ever driven past an Army convoy and noticed the occupants look miserable, it’s because it’s loud as fuck and rides like they forgot to put springs on it.  I will never figure out why a civilian would ever want one.

I’m sure there are some asshole sales/general managers who would tell the police he was complicit in the theft.

I suspect they did it intentionally to rack up more clicks for The Root.

I’m sure Musk will take to heart whatever JD Power has to say.

Those of us who are old enough to be around when they came out know what incredible pieces of shit they were.  Unlike modern cars that can go 200k miles, this one is about to go tits up at 71k. 

What has made it worse is that dashboard lights are on continuously, day and night. Back in the day when I was driving at dusk, looked down, and discovered I could no longer see my speedometer, I would say “Oh Shit”, and turn on my headlights.

This is what happens when the author majors in English or Art History.  

I’ll be closely watching the put options on Tesla stock.  I hope to make money off of Elon’s lunacy.

Definitely wasn’t a V6. It was a tarted up stove bolt.

Apparently, the rack and pinion steering from the Mustang II (which was derived from the Pinto) can be easily adapted to the first-generation Mustang. Same goes with the 4-wheel disk brakes from the Lincoln Versailles.

If I were one of these astronauts, I would be begging the Russians to take me back to Earth.  Their shit may be ancient, but it works.

NP provided the engine coolant isn’t 50 percent Bar’s Leak.
