Comment Of The Day: Crash Test Brothers Edition-April 2024

Image for article titled Comment Of The Day: Crash Test Brothers Edition

So here’s an anecdote from my father’s youth. When he was in his teens he had an early 1970s Ford Mustang Mach 1. He had been working on the car in between shifts baling hay out in the family fields. When it came time for dinner, my grandmother told my uncle to go fetch my father, so Unc jumps in the Mach to peel off down the street for a rapid pickup. The hood pins weren’t pinned. Crash Test Brother.

For reminding me of that humorous story that my dad likes to tell, I’m awarding today’s COTD victory to Skeffles. And to go along with your glory, here’s a song to get stuck in your head for the rest of the evening.

Unbelievably, American Automakers Used To Brag About Their Cars Being Heavier Than The Competition. Look At These Absurd Ads
Everyone knows that , and yet oddly, in the 1970s, American automakers actually bragged about their vehicles being heavier than the competition. The whole thing is unbelievably idiotic and serves as just another reminder of the sad state of American cars during that era. At Chrysler, where I used...

It's Your Fault Mercedes Is Discontinuing Wagons
It's Your Fault Mercedes Is Discontinuing Wagons
That’s right. This is all your fault. After years and years of production, Mercedes-Benz plans to discontinue offering any wagons by the end of the decade because of low demand. Wagons have seen steep declines in demand over the last decade — mostly because of the CUVs that have...

The Fanatec CSL DD Meets The Hype — But There's A Catch
When that it was bringing a direct drive wheel base to market for just $350, sim racers sort of lost it. Direct drive is the cream of the crop in terms of force feedback technology compared to cheaper but less precise gear- and belt-driven systems. But Fanatec’s existing direct drive...

Bruce Campbell Reminds Us That He Used To Shill Cars
Bruce Campbell Reminds Us That He Used To Shill Cars
The dude that fought hordes of the undead with a chainsaw hand had to start somewhere, right? Well, in the case of actor (who research suggests may not actually have a chainsaw hand in real life?), that start seems to be doing films for automakers like Chrysler, and interacting...
