Swing and a miss, though I’ll presume that’s intentional. The controversy was they resurrected a legendary name plate, one that represented the textbook definition of Detroit muscle car to a couple of generations, on a captive import. Kinda like if they rebadged some Opel and passed it off as the Commo. . .…

The car was essentially “Okay, Boomer” crystallized before a full decade before the modern usage of the phrase first appeared. You can argue it might be part of the zenith of ‘90's soft-curve aerodynamics but it only appeared conservative in contrast to Mays’ upcoming retroStang.

As for being a “conservative” design,…

I’ve made that drain plug mistake. You only ever make it once.

One thing I’ve always done, and this might be one of those ancient rituals that has lost all relevance type things, is to take a dab of oil and wet the seal of the new filter before screwing it on. Anybody else?

Also, follow-up video suggestion: the other…

I can’t think of a car more controversial that has aged better than this car.

Edit: Well, since Kinja gonna Kinja and not let me upload an image. . .
Double-edit: Welp, there she goes. Or not.

The grill-less theory’s a non-starter. Otherwise, we’d all hate the 911, no one would’ve bought the millions of air-cooled Beetles and the second-gen Corvair wouldn’t be the arguable zenith of ‘60's Detroit passenger car design. (I will die on that hill, and it’s heavily fortified.)

The 3 just has awkward proportions,…

It’s hardly a looker like a Tesla Model 3

Tail-end progressive Gen-Xer, married to a “Gen-Y” Millenial. The ONLY disappointment of the C8 is the pedal count.

If you want to belabor this point, FOAD. I will not apologize, and if you think I’m some weird social trogolodyte based on this one fact, you’re in for a rude surprise.

Son of a bitch.  Forgot about that.  Now I want one.

Jeep Conestoga?

The funny thing is that as I think about it, I actually really like the idea of building up a wild 356 kit. The fender flairs seem well done but I’d probably go with old-school bolt-ons. I know there’s probably very real and practical reasons for the Corvair engine but I’d be yanking it for something more modern. (I…

Noooooooope.

This car has identity issues. I mean, chrome and leather straps on the hood but an interior that looks like your friend’s stripped out Civic “racecar.” Ooooh, that’s some fine, fine eBay carbon fiber. I will say the over-fenders appear to have been nicely done but that’s just opens more questions.  This…

And this situation’s weirder, as the foundries are in alternative China. Covid aside, given the panda’s post-millenial bout of big dick energy, you’d think having your primary supply of high-tech chips on Taiwan would be the essence of a national security crisis.

Because the “d” in refrigerator has stealth coatings, not unlike the second “h” in height as in some dialects.

I agree: the lack of HUD is one reason I’d never seriously look at a Model Y, despite, as you say, being an ideal daily driver. Not having some form of speedo up front is just annoying.

Doug? Sheee-it. Wait until Mr. Regular finds out they’re getting rid of the HVAC Happy Trail. . .

Except this entry-level animal apparently does not exist according to Tesla’s online configurator.

I will concede that those friendships existed before the first MtG cards were ever printed. So true, most newcomers are possibly boned.

We need to raise greater awareness for Chuck Cunningham Syndrome.  What color ribbon should we pick?
