I was watching the MotorWeek Retro Marathon this morning and learned that Oldsmobile was planning its own version of the cancelled GM-80 platform that was to switch Camaro and Firebird to FWD by the late ‘80s. www.reddit.com/r/WeirdWheel...

good morning, posting this because: 1. I almost never find them 2. I almost certainly never find them in a manual 3. it’s a perfect form of transportation auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/s...

Pluribus Is Sneakily Making A Case For The Borg

This makes Napster seem quaint.

This, so much. Things are simply not allowed to be good enough in today’s postmodern capitalism.

I highly recommend signing up for @haveibeenpwned.com. You’ll know about a data breach way before the company tells you.

If I bought one of these, I’d want to get BUZZKILL as a personalized license plate.

Lmao

Show me how you are walking out of 2025

New Tesla Special Edition just dropped.

Found a few new German rides today.

there is an E30 entered in the Dakar Classic next year (325iX)

This book is like the #WeirdCarBS Bible. Of course, all the usual suspects are here - Pinto, Mustang II, Corvair, Aztek (except all the pics are the concept), Pacer, Citation, Gremlin. But so many more. Let's see how many cars I find that someone here owns.

If you haven't seen "The Last Independent Automaker" documentary about AMC yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. Amazing work by @joeligo.bsky.social.

Perhaps ahead of its time? I think this would work now, in the age of canned coffee and energy drinks.

This whole thing where they break things and laws, then want to punish people who refuse to participate in their immoral, unethical behavior is stupid AF. #NoKings

In Japan, the Dodge Michigan (K-Car imported to Japan) was used as a henchmen chase car on Japanese Anime 😆.

I haven't mentioned my current profile picture. Someone made a Bravada for high speed, Baja off roading. A BRAVADA BLAST

Just saw this Audi Christmas commercial, using diecast vehicles.

it's snowing more than expected at home, so: yes youtu.be/O392qBCsXvY?...

"Cadillac XT6 Limo isn't real it can't hurt you" Cadillac XT6 Limo:

“alleged ineligible voters,” just like alleged illegal immigrants being kidnapped off the streets?

This is @garygastelu.bsky.social bait

The enshittification of game streaming services marches forward.

Got an email from somebody at work that ended in “thank you for your attention to this matter,” and I cringed.

I just realized the actress Carol Kane, who currently plays Chief Engineer Pelia in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, was the Ghost of Christmas Present in the movie Scrooged.

Catching up on my backlog of reading over the holidays. Enjoying “The 99% Invisible City” by Roman Mars, which compliments the long-running podcast. This is a fun read for anyone who wants to nerd out on the design of infrastructure and everyday things, that we don’t normally think about.

Put a Pinto under your tree.

Xmas Lemmings (1991)

The best car name thrown away by a manufacturer.

Merry Chrysler and Happy New Yorker.

The Honda Odyssey has come a long way since its early rudimentary days.

Kevin McCallister's Mac and Cheese (1990-??): This highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner was sold on sale and served with a goblet of milk. It may have been ravaged by Wet Bandits, or may still be on a table in Chicago, no one can say for sure.
