A good list sir- happy new year!

Don’t get me started on the perverse irony of the Utah Jazz.

The E type is certainly among the prettiest, but if we’re trolling, I never liked the Miura much! My mature infatuation is with the Alfa Romeo Stradale.

That was fun.  Both are lovely people.

The amazing thing about this to me is that it is almost equal parts right and wrong.  Awful and beautiful. Nothing like the original, but no worse than all the cars it apes to be.  Weird.

Wait, if someone calls me a hagfish, no one thinks I truly am, nor do they necessarily have the profile to convince the world it is true. A powerful loudmouth (indisputable) calling someone a pedophile, and hiring an investigator to prove it is quite different. Like when a President says random irresponsible things…

I thought the ungainly body lean was more of an issue- that thing looks barely driveable.

I had a 1989 trooper, and while it was very utilitarian and tinny, was totally dependable to over 200k as well. It convinced me to abandon any love i had for European cars and buy Japanese, so I could get from A to B without going bankrupt. It was still running when I gave it away, badly, but still great looking.

Thanks for all the good work, entertainment, and the glimpses of silliness and personalities behind cars and writing, while generally sparing us from the machinations of our oligarchs until now. There is life out there, and community, and diversity, even centered around a guilty pleasure as dumb and as wonderful as…

I like the various admissions prior to the unleashed consumption- great article. I have a Vanagon and similar fantasies of the freedom of the road, and whether you act on them or not, are nice to have.

I hope they do well, but I was disappointed to find Ford couldn’t be bothered to send an example to the recent SF Car Show- apparently there’s only one and it was at the LA show?  The new Corvette was there.  I know the SF show is relatively obscure, but.... really?

Rude old assholes are fun on tv until they become president and/ or attack girls who are trying to save us all. Then they are just as toxic as in real life.

I need to rewatch it- I’m such a simpleton I thought it was silly scifi but interesting, instead of a THC-infused social commentary worth pondering.  I also thought the Host was a monster movie.

When I lived on the coast of California I thought a/c was an unnecessary extravagance, and my first three cars didn’t have it. Then I moved to the barely habitable climates elsewhere and quickly realized it has value. And I can no longer afford to live in the habitable zone.

Until the early 70’s the driver was required to stretch the right arm out over the top of the bench seat when not holding the cigarette to his mouth.

An End User License Agreement of insufferable length will place responsibility on the passenger, which they will agree to mindlessly in order to start their drive.

Looks like someone with an orange wedge in their mouth.

I love many if Scorsese’s films and also the Marvel films. The MCU consistently have good character development and acting, good stories, pacing, and good visuals. Do they go to another level of character, visuals, or story? No. But most films don’t even get the basics right, so lighten up. the MCU, like Pirates…

Maybe his wife demanded that he sell it so he came up with an outrageous price.

I hope there are unidentifiable parts you won’t throw away, random son cameos, the sounds of laundry, and beautiful art, ideally using macaroni.
