Discussing inane politics in a car forum is in fact annoying.

So what's stopping you from honoring your own request?

Went to a big box store that also sold cars. Sat in a bunch of them, including these cool and good Jimnys. It's hilarious how you can rock them back and forth from sitting inside them.

Can't decide if this is Awesome but certainly AI: a collection of random and definitely depreciated supercars outside some derelict lakeside cabins. Stored along the road, under trees, out in the grass/dirt, some covered others not. In a different year, there would be 12" of snow on the ground and the road would be just caked in salt brine. It's not a collection of dudes on an Air BNB weekend... and lands squarely in "not my business" territory, but WTF is going on here?

If you defend a guy who is:

Pro Brexit, a far right anti immigrant action which has caused massive damage in the UK socially and economically

COVID denialist

And a defender of Kyle Rittenhouse, a man who travelled to a protest with a machine gun intending to murder black people for fun, and then proceeded to do so

I'm going to assume you fully support these things too. Nice work facsist, follow your leader

Buddy we already know one of Nick-or-Richard-I-can't-tell-them-apart has Bad Opinions. They don't come out on the youtube videos. This isn't the thread for making specious comparisons between British auto mechanics and famous midcentury fascists. This also isn't the thread to tell other forum users to kill themselves.

That's not what you're doing, though. You're being an edgelord and telling people you disagree with to go kill themselves. Do you understand how that's different?

MotorTrend opened up all their digital issues for free for 75 years...hopefully I'm not late to the party on posting this. I basically created a simple account and was able to access.

https://www.motortrend.com/plus/magazines/motor-trend/8469

With that said, I enjoy history...warts and all...and it is fun to take a spin back in time and look up your childhood favorites, read the reviews, pricing, advertisements, etc. A time capsule.

Lots of good stuff. And of course, bad stuff depending on which year you read/skim through.

Oh man, Freiburger-era Car Craft set the course for everything car related in my life. I am going to spend so much time going back through those issues.

EDIT: They don't have any Car Craft prior to 2008. How dare you Motortrend.

For some reason I cannot stand Freiburger. I appreciate and respect him of what he does and what he has done...and the shows he is on and brought forward...but man something about him just irritates me.

I never really dug Car And Driver, was more of a Road & Track guy. Think I also had a sub to Motor Trend at some point.

Die-hard Motor Trend reader since my parents put an issue in my Christmas stocking when I was like 10, until I dropped it when I went to college. Years later I almost re-subbed but for some reason went to Automobile instead and stuck with that till I couldn't stomach receiving anything printed in the mail anymore. I always thought it had a cool irreverent tone that was a nice contrast to (what I vaguely perceived as) MT's self-importance and Jean Jennings was always hilarious fun to read.

All of which is to say it's the 80s issues of MT that I will be digging through to try to relive their fanciful tales of a sharp-edged concept car future yet to come

Same deal with Super Chevy, I was hoping to find an old article about Corvette devolopment mules from an issue in the early 90's. Maybe it's still a work in progress.
