Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

In fairness, those are leftover '14s. (Though I guess the fact that they *have* these leftover '14s is part of the problem.)

Was thinking about a Jeep as a graduation present to myself. But maybe one of those...

Motor Trend is running a promotion where you get a year's subscription plus a USB car charger for $6. Seems hard to pass up -- I'm sure I can glean a few pennies of value from each issue. https://www.circsource.com/store/Subscribe.html?offerId=7286

I hope he takes that off when it gets driven.  That would be pure death in an accident.  Or at least major facial surgery.

If I remember correctly Chris Harris did not like the 911 GT3 that much, but he seems to love the GT3RS.

Drove 4hrs, waiting for kids to arrive. I-20 and I-95. Then back home

Most interesting ( to me) sights--
-shiny old red Vette on a trailer. Like 60s old
-NB with hitch rack and bicycle
- old Mazda MPV with bikes on the back
- New style t-bird vert? Or fake roof
-pink 50s coupe on a trailer ( no idea model)

Do you mean you saw one of the last generation T-birds (2001-2005ish?) with... the top up? They're all convertibles, you know.

On the way home saw:

- white new caddy hearse
-lots of black Altimas left lane camping
-couple red Altimas driving way fast then trying to cut people off
-bus size rv towing a jeep with a hitch rack with a tandem bike mounted vertically. Those bikes are looooong! Even without the front wheel it was practically as tall as the rv!!
-chocolate colored Tundra with black wheels. Looked cool in a different way

I guess you'd just never seen one with the top off. I don't know if it was standard equipment or not but rest assured the colour-matched removable hardtop complete with opera windows à la '55 T-bird was completely removable.

It was standard equipment at first- maybe for the first year. At one point it became optional.

If it wasn't standard equipment it might as well have been, it was definitely popular. I admit I haven't seen many without the hardtop either.

"Those dealers that did the best job of moving Hellcats will get more; those who bought a few and slapped $20,000 markups on the sticker hoping for a sale will get penalized."

That's legit.
