"And that is also why Rand Paul should not have been detained by the TSA on his way to Washington a week or two ago."

He was not detained by TSA. Good lord, you people really need to get your facts straight. He was not in custody. He was not arrested, he was not held. He was, however, not allowed to proceed into the sterile area without undergoing screening.

If you get to a guard station at, say, a military base and they say "You can't go past this point, you don't have clearance" you have not been detained.

Look, you want your self-righteous crusade against TSA, that's fine. Get your facts right, or you looks just as bad as all the other nutjobs with self-righteous crusades.

A passenger refuses screening and is escorted out instead of being put on an aircraft without being screed is a horror story? Explain how?
Look, in the United States of America, public shaming is cruel and unusual punishment.

I say we just lock these people up for 3-5 years to teach them a lesson instead. That seems far more reasonable.

The Pontiac Solstice. Problem is, they decided to make it look like a limp dick.
@RamblinReck89: I will figure out how to afford a 3-dr AWD turbo Fiesta if Ford decides to make one. I've got another 24 months payments on my Mustang. I figure that should give them enough time to figure one out, and get the bugs worked out.
@echo off: Yes, because those are the best kind for sporty cars.
I want to get my wife her license, and maybe even her own beater/first car. Then I need to get some Strano Parts sway bars for my Mustang. I think I'll leave the other stuff for next year.
@Ryan: To be fair, he said lateral support was excellent with the high center console. I think you'd be hard pressed to slide across that.
@priapism: Nah, I'm pretty sure it's going to be the asshats driving on the wrong side of the road causing the accidents, not the folks that are off the road with cameras. Hey, if they can get evidence that's used in a wrongful death suit against one of these idiots that's putting everyone else at risk, that's just bonus.
I want to say the Countach, but that was originally built in the 70's, so even though it was produced for the entirety of the 80's I have to discount it. Same goes with the XJ-S, my favorite luxury care of the 80's.

So, limiting my self to vehicles that made their premiers in the 80's, I'm going to go with the Ford Aerostar. I grew up with them from the first model year to the last. I particularly liked the long wheel base versions, introduced in 89.
I said it before, but I'll say it again. I'd better be able to use the ElCamino for racing in the truck class.
@Spasticteapot: They're complaining that if you have a Hybrid that gets the same fuel economy as a clean economical diesel powered car, that the Hybrid automagically gets a better letter grade. That's bullshit for a number of reasons.
@Geo Metro Man: I don't know that the M line has ever been about being "entry level".
@Dukie: The colors suggest Unicron, but the facial hair puts me more in mind of Scourge/the Sweeps.
@ReverendDexter: As an employee of the federal government, allow me to assure you that this type of lack of communication is common place, making it totally plausible.
@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: A while ago I was trying to convince my friend that an awesome cartoon called COPS existed when I was a kid, and none of them believed me, and I couldn't find proof. Now I have it. HAH!
As a fan of all things Countach, a couple of my favorite animated cars are Sunstreaker and Sideswipe, from the first generation of Transformers.
@FodderTheSane: Why does his car suddenly have a front differential?
@jodark: Indeed, and I have always viewed it in that light. However, the A-Wing has a built in navigation system, which does away with the need for a standalone Astromech unit like the R2 or R3 series used in the older designs like the X-Wing and Y-Wing. Since the DelSol obviously uses an Astromech unit for navigation, it cannot possibly be an A-Wing.
Leaky fuel pump and no gauges? Sorry, but you really need to finish a project if you're trying to get that kind of money for it.
