  1. Some faulty logic there as signs on the road are mostly pictographs so that English is not an issue. The issue of non-english speaking drivers has more to do with the driving habits of their homelands (one drive to Tijuana back in '93 taught me this lol). There are folks who speak supposedly perfect English that can't drive for $h!. Your remark about Law, Medical, and Fire is faulty as well because there could be non-english speaking passengers (even if the driver speaks English) that may need to speak to them yet you're not calling for that to be gone. What if said driver died and you only have non-english speaking passengers to communicate with? I get your core point but it A.) will never happen and B.) will cripple the economy since there are millions of non-english speaking folks who and WORK and now you are saying they should not be able to drive to their jobs because of their lack of English speaking. Sorry but that does not fly, legally or morally.

  2. Nope, AMC Marlin. Nothing Buick about it. Made for 3 years--'65-67. The '65-66 were based on the midsized Rambler Classic, basically a huge fastback grafted onto a square sedan. The '67 was based on the redesigned for '67 full size Ambassador, and had much better styling, IMO. '65 and '67 below. '66 looked much the same as '65. For comparison, here is what the regular 2drs looked like--'65 Classic and '67 Ambassador:

  3. This is may be the single biggest gripe in driving. I feel like more often than not, people don't like to pass and will ride your bumper, even on the interstate. I can't even count how many times on the interstate that I'll be in the right or middle lane and somebody comes up on me fairly quick, gets pretty close to me, and just don't pass when there's waaaay more than enough time to get around me. The same goes for 2-lane roads. I'm in a pretty rural area so I drive a lot of 2-lane roads. I'm not a very quick driver but on 55mph roads I almost always set my cruise at 60mph and people do the same thing, get up on me real quick, stay there when there are miles of road to get around me, and just hang out there. 99% of the time I just stay my course. 1% of the time they get too close and I'll slow down to the speed limit, because they could and should just go around me anyway.

  4. @David The AMC Marlin has more of a Chrysler feel to it than a Buick. Actually, nothing about a Marlin says General Motors in any shapr or form in any of GM's brands. '66 Dodge Charger (with the hidden lamps unhidden...) And back in Australia, the Chrysler Charger Valiant. I dont mind the Marlin. Not the prettiest girl at the prom. But you do have a date to dance with when the slow dances come on. AMC had uglier cars in their history that Im grateful I was too young to know about or remember outright. Unfortunately, some movies have glorified these freaks of nature. Looking at you Wayne's World. Or even Police Academy. (That god aweful Matador police car)

  5. That side window treatment was so weird... it did look slightly better the final year when they moved to a bigger body, IMO. Haven't seen any Marlins in many years.

  6. This is downright frightening ... so much so that I had blocked these from my memory.

  7. Great idea but that Sierra front end on what would be a Canyon does not work at all IMO. Makes an otherwise nice concept render look tacky.

  9. WTF, who made this? Is that a Buick badge on the back, the picture is not clear enough to tell. Interesting as a concept, but I cannot imagine it was a good idea to actually go into production. The Riviera was a way better way to go IMHO. I agree, I also hate that people especially Prius drivers think it is the right thing to do in getting into the far left lane and drive 20 mph under and then when flashed they sit there not moving over to the right. Driving is a privilege earned, not a right. Cannot read, write or speak English, you do not get to take a driving test in another language and drive. Hello, while we have never as a country in the U.S.A made English our official language, it should be done and driving should only be allowed for those that can read, write and speak English. After all it is important to speak with Law, Medical and Fire if in an accident, not to mention just basic reading of road signs and basic comprehension of state driving laws.
