]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?]]> @TurboBrick: To be fair, they did resemble clouds when painted white with white hubcaps.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?]]> @Sigsworth: Or if it's British and has three wheels.

@A_Benz_Apart: I think I like this chick...

@andy_wallwhore: Assfire! Well, that nickname has other uses for us geeky computer-hardware types, but that's no the point.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How About A Cord And Zephyr To Go With Those International Harvesters?]]> @FuzzyPlushroom: Far cooler than either, though!

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How About A Cord And Zephyr To Go With Those International Harvesters?]]> @mechimike: Suppose it was the predecessor to upper-dash-mounted (see: Mercury Sable) and steering-wheel radio controls.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Project Car Hell, Arc-Weld Your Soul Edition: Electric 911 or Electric Spitfire?]]> Oh, holy shit, it's worse than I thought. After only 357 miles, the batteries are COMPLETELY SHOT? That's, like, tank-of-gas range - and for any electric car worth its molten salt, fewer than ten charges. (About 40 for this one.)

Jesus Lord, save us from this... thing.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Project Car Hell, Arc-Weld Your Soul Edition: Electric 911 or Electric Spitfire?]]> @akier: I was getting ready to cast my vote for the Spitsparks, but then I saw that. Porsche's completely unusable even when it does work, so it gets my vote.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Commenter Of The Day: Lincoln-Darwin Edition]]> Good. Beercheck almost had me spitting out my pomegranate Polar, while Van's comment made me pause and think for a moment before cracking up. Excellent work, ah, gentlemen.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?]]> @spaceoden: Any alphanumeric Pontiacs from the '80s - J2000, 6000 LE...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?]]> @joshman: Mitsubishi Lettuce.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Which Dead US Automotive Nameplates Should Remain Buried?]]> @cargogh: Compass is a problem for two reasons.

1. The Caliber it's based on.
2. Cum. Piss. I don't need to say more.

Come on, guys. Rocket is cool. Galaxie is cool. I agree, however, that they need to stay dead so their legacies aren't tarnished. (Cutlass, anyone? LeSabre? Hell, even Skylark started off better than it ended.)

@abgwin: Clipper, too, since you brought up the Patrician. For that matter, Packards in general: Caribbean, Hawk, Mayfair, Constellation. The Cavalier should have, and might well have stayed buried if it weren't for the (goddamn) J-car.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Junked Cars Of Limerick, Maine]]> Son of a bitch. I just got back from Ogunquit/Wells... wish I'd known about this before so we could've made a "side trip"...

Incredible photos, mate. Just incredible.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Lotus Evora Weighs A Ton...And A Half]]> @FuzzyPlushroom: Take that back, I very well could (and probably should!) fix 'em with a Sawzall...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Lotus Evora Weighs A Ton...And A Half]]> @Jeb_Hoge: He should, y'know, sell the car behind her back and buy a V50 and '90s Silverado with the profit...

There's nothing about this car I can't fix with a Sawzall. Aside from its owners, I mean.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How Much Did It Cost To Fill Up For Gas Today?]]> @FuzzyPlushroom: New Beetle 1.8T, 14.5 gallon tank.

Yep, I'm really liking my bicycles.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How Much Did It Cost To Fill Up For Gas Today?]]> $25 got us, oh, just shy of a half a tank today at $3.97. And that's fairly cheap for around here.

30 MPG sounded pretty damn good until the prices went up.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Ten Ugliest Cars Currently Sold In The United States]]> @rlj676: The new ones are really bad. The Camry badge looks like it was glued on cockeyed, the ground effects could've been added by a 16-year-old ricer, and I've never seen one with hubcaps that were properly centered.

Burn them. Burn them all.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Project Car Hell, Low And Slow Edition: 1964 Impala or 1949 Mercury Trio?]]> @graverobber- Two BEER minimum: I love it. He's broken two rules so far just from skimming it: If he wants anywhere close to six, he'd better not say he'll take it and advertise it for seven; and he seems to have not taken his pills this morning.

@LincolnFANATIC: I refer to my Mystique as "the Merc" sometimes (well, my grandfather's Sable arguably has more of a claim to that...) and people think I've got an old Benz. Hell, I wish.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on GM To Shrink Future Saabs, Reverse Brand Bloat]]> @Van Sarockin: Saab, born from supertankers.

For now.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on HEV Technology Builds 41 MPG Plug-In Hybrid Ford F-150 Pickup Truck]]> Cool, something useful!

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Ten Ugliest Cars Currently Sold In The United States]]> @FuzzyPlushroom: Huh. Gawker Photo Size Limitations have concealed the license plate to protect the guilty. No matter, right-click and View Image. I insist.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The Ten Ugliest Cars Currently Sold In The United States]]> Out of these, the Uplander's the only one which makes me sick.

However, this takes the cake, particularly in this form: the dreaded Chrysler Base Trim.

The Nitro, shown here, is one of the only vehicles whose name is also a recommended method of destruction for it.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Rhode Island Man Busted For Drunk Driving, Blows Six Times Legal Limit]]> @philibuster: Yeah, I reckon that damn sign cut him off. Oh, the photo. Right.

@Walleeme:

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How About A Cord And Zephyr To Go With Those International Harvesters?]]> @FuzzyPlushroom: Good thing for the revival of the coffin-nose, I mean. Shame there aren't more.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How About A Cord And Zephyr To Go With Those International Harvesters?]]> Also, we need more cars that look like that Cord. But don't let Chryslerberus (PT Cruiser, Prowler) or GM (HHR, SSR) hear you... maybe someone who could do it right.

Honestly, though, I can't think of a major manufacturer that could. Good thing Cord wasn't one, either.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on How About A Cord And Zephyr To Go With Those International Harvesters?]]> Hmm, I wonder what that 549-cube V8 would do in the back of a small station wagon. Besides twist it in half, I mean.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Trio Of New Hampshire Survivors Spans Seven Decades, Three Continents Of Car History]]> @cq: Send 'er in! It's a neat little car, even with the flames and "CLYDE" pinstriped on the back. I've never actually seen an unmolested one.

@n0m4d and invincible-delta-88: Seems we've got ourselves a bit of a club here... which may mean I've got competition when it comes to DOTS posts, but is Pretty Damn Cool nonetheless.

Hey, you guys seen the old dump truck parked off the side of 202? On the corner of that damn road I forget the name of (Norway Hill Road, or is that further up?) in Hancock. It's in someone's yard or I would've gotten it.

Also, Murilee, as awesome as the recognition is, you've also got an International Harvester 3/4 ton somewhere in your collection from me... *grin*

@texan01: Yeah, it certainly appears to. It's like Redneck Ricing, I suppose...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on 59 Old Vehicles Down On The Streets Of San Francisco]]> @tenbeers: Wow, you haven't? There's a red-tape-striped, alloy-wheeled, black one here in town, near mint, owned by the same family for as long as I can remember... Too bad it's driveway-parked.

This is one hell of a collection of photos...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on 1965 Ford Thunderbird]]> Got one of these (well, a '66) as a "Down On The Highway" shot on the way home today. I'll submit it soon. These look just as good in Malaise Green.

@Kelly: Or the 85 MPH speedometer in so many '80s cars, particularly GM, which topped out around "E"...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on 1970 Chevrolet Impala]]> So this is what that '70 sedan is supposed to look like. Beautiful, this - sure hope it's a hell of a sleeper.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The New Chevy Camaro In A Skittles-Like Rainbow Of Colors, What's Your Favorite?]]> @JaysonAych: That's the blue I was originally going for.

That with white stripes... delicious.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on First Driving Video Of The New Chevy Camaro!]]> @POLAЯ IS GOING BACK INTO HIDING: O, as I gayzed at this beautiful Camaro...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Danica Patrick, Milka Duno In Towel-Snapping Cat Fight At Mid-Ohio]]> @Herbie3Rivers: Ah HA! I just figured out where I'd seen your name before. How's Elwood doin'?

/.org member circa '03...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The New Chevy Camaro In A Skittles-Like Rainbow Of Colors, What's Your Favorite?]]> @Triborough: Daaamn. Knowing how good our state-police Chargers look in the ol' green-and-tan, I wonder what the Camaro'll end up as...

Orgasmic, no doubt. Though it'll probably never happen.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on The New Chevy Camaro In A Skittles-Like Rainbow Of Colors, What's Your Favorite?]]> @layabout: Still doesn't look as good as a 242 Turbo...

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on First Driving Video Of The New Chevy Camaro!]]> RS... RS... RALLY SPORT! YEAH!

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on First Driving Video Of The New Chevy Camaro!]]> @B: Sure, no-one else does, so they go cheap.

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on First Driving Video Of The New Chevy Camaro!]]> "Camarro"?

]]> <![CDATA[FuzzyPlushroom commented on Nissan GT-R Laps Top Gear Track With A Time Of...]]> @ReverendDexter: Exactly! Really, that's the best bit about the Stig.
