People who invent "words" like that should be flogged, keelhauled, made to walk the plank, and hanged from the yardarm. “


Ah, lighten up. I thought it pretty funny.
Also, I’m no scholar linguist, but I’ve read that among other strengths of English, it is very powerful for this sort of thing compared to some other languages.

Check has a 89 with big block got 320K miles out of it still ran good when I sold it no smoke or leaks.

Many many oil changes saved it.

"A 1985 Suburban Silverado cost about $14,000 in 1985."

A 1985 Suburban Silverado is STILL $14,000....on eBay. I've been looking at pre-2000 Surburbans on eBay...and there are some crazy prices.

Read the article. The Hennessy is not electric. It is a hopped-up ICE Escalade with different cam, exhaust, air intake, free flow catalytic converter etc.

I lived in Miami back in the mid-70s, so I know what a “JC” is. LOL.

I saw a car with a front end that looked like insect incisors. I thought the car had been wrecked, and was somehow hanging there. Nope, just one ass ugly car.

That’s far from the wildest thing that Hennessey has done. They have a 6x6 F-150 on a local dealer’s showroom floor (for a paltry $400K).
