This Is The Car You Should Be Obsessed With

'67, Coming In Hot

This Is The Car You Should Be Obsessed With
Lowrider

This article will be the most unabashed display of car porn you've ever seen. Be warned.

I don't think there was ever a better-looking car than the 1967 Chevrolet Impala.

And before you ask, no, it isn't because I'm a huge Supernatural fan. I've seen the show, and it's decent, but the best thing it ever did was introduce this car to me.

Some people watch it for Dean and/or Sam; I watch it (albeit occasionally) for their kick-ass chrome-trimmed gloss-black Impala with the greatest lines a car has ever had. Even in white, she still looks good.

It's as though I've caught some kind of fever; I look up listings for them on classic car websites. Some of them are in incredible shape and go for prices into the $50,000's. This number makes my heart do a small palpitation every time. I don't think any car is worth that much. Especially in a color like this:

Still, somehow, it's not as heinous as it would be on any other vehicle. My dad routinely sends me listings on Bring A Trailer, which doesn't help anything, but they're so beautiful.....

The 60's had some awesome cars in general. The long, lean look some had was eye-catching and used enough gas to power the Hindenburg (though perhaps briefly). Look at this brick red 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz.

There's enough room in this thing's trunk to fit a family of five, not to mention ample room in the backseat for your beehive hairdo. My mom is partial to the 60's Corvette's, though in my personal opinion they look like they have spider eyes for headlights.


See? Spider eyes.

The later 60's Ford Mustangs were great too. If you want a car that truly lives up to the name "muscle car," that would be the one for you. There aren't many more masculine, tough-looking cars out there.


However, I will only truly be happy when I have a '67 Impala. Hopefully it will be in black, with a red interior and no rot in the window seals. I wonder if I'm too old for Santa...

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
