This is only for the first question, number two doesn't seem to fit with a group as well. I would agree with that.

MrChips posted:Alright so I am going to break my usual editorial stance and say that I totally disagree that the 70s sucked for cars; sure, if you were a fan of American cars yes, but if you look to Japan and Europe, it was a golden age. I mean, the 70s saw the Porsche 930 and 928, the BMW 2002 Turbo and the birth of the 3-, 5-, 6- and 7-Series as well as the M1, the OG VW Golf, the Renault 5, the Lancia Stratos, the Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari 512 BB, the Z-car, the RX-7, the Honda Civic and Accord as well as the Toyota Celica.  The 70s have to win by a country mile. Sure, there were some of the best looking and garish cars to grace the bedroom wall of pubescent teenagers first built in the 70s, but even then they only got better as they matured in the 80s. Ferraris, Lambos, while looking sexy were fat, slow and wallowed.. There are going to be exceptions in every decade but surely the 70s was the worst. Even those shining glimmers of hope you mentioned weren't enough to rescue that god awful decade. They were the true cherries on the poo poo sundae. Germany might have been spared more than most, but the the cars that the masses could actually afford were particularly abysmal.. and North American makers in particular were completely hopeless. The decade of the Pinto, super fat Mustang and small Mustang, fatvette andTrans Ams with big blocks that could barely lay a strip of rubber from the factory as the decade wore on. Basically nothing that weighed less than 3000lbs and had more than 200HP. It was dismal in every metric. Japan was by no means safe either, the svelte sexy 69-70 240Z morphed into the fat downs-syndrome inflicted overweight 130HP powerhouse that became the 280ZX (I had one, I'm allowed) and the Celica wasn't much better. Th family cars the Japanese made had were hardly exciting, although still probably better than the poo poo North America was producing. The 50s, 60s were by far better and the 80s started to see a break in the dreariness, with finally by the mid-late decade really good stuff by almost any measure happening. The 40s shouldn't even count. The world was waging and recovering from the most cataclysmic war the planet had ever seen. It's like saying the worst Olympics were in 1944. That entire decade has one big fat asterisk.

Counterpoint: If it's not F1 it's not racing I went with the sheep answer because I was pretty sure that would be it The Royal Nonesuch posted:Questions after that one got way tougher for me, gonna ace em all.

I know a lady who has a mid 90s Cavalier with, no poo poo, well over 500K on it and still on the original engine and transmission. And the god drat thing seemingly runs fine and actually looks pretty good. She just bought a new CRV so she isn't driving it anymore, but her senior citizen uncle is now using it as his daily driver. That's got to be close to a world record for one of those.

I am satisfied with my place for my first ever sheep game especially in light of a couple of frankly bewildering answers. Thanks for putting it on Mr chips.
