My parents had a 428 CJ Cyclone, which they traded in on an awful lime gold vinyl top ‘73 Torino that they then kept for ~20 years, or you know, about until I was old enough to drive.

The better thing to do is to start with a lightweight car and add power.  

This sort of thing would happen all the time if traffic circles were more prevalent in the USA.

Despite the design praise, the LH cars were often unable to cover a distance of 300m without need of mechanical repairs.

They are outstanding for that sort of thing, so it’s not without reason.

I’ve been grayed for like 7 years now.  Never did figure out how to permanently get out of it. 

I still look in the windows of cars where there might be a possibility of manual transmission coolness. Especially in regular cars. It’s a rare occasion anymore, but occasionally, I’m delighted with an honest to goodness manual. Still, the ones I still like best are the cars that were (or are) *only* available with…

What’s crazy is that it works out to an average of 185,185 Mustangs PER YEAR.  Over a 54 year period.  Nuts.

The capless system has a solid tank seal. Every gas tank does (and has for many years), for environmental reasons.

When did ~22 years become “roughly 3 decades?”

The reason is the sound. I get 12-14 MPG because I like the way it sounds and drive it accordingly. I have no interest in a V6 or Ecoboost...don’t care if it’s faster.

Sure thing, I’ll take the Lotus, which hasn’t had any trouble getting through the intervals between regular servicing for several years now.

I think he means Lotus the company and not an individual car

The best way handle is through prevention by not clawing your way into your car like a wild animal

I can understand buying an Elise (ok granted they are all used, but hey, this is Jalopnik, where everyone buys used!) for the driver involvement. I can understand buying a Cayman for the precision and practicality. But I cannot understand buying this car. What does it offer, other than looks, that other sports cars do…

I know the headline clearly says Bonneville but when I first read it in my mind I read “Pikes Peak” and looking at the picture had the thought “they must really be going for speed on Pikes Peak with parachutes like that.”

Ok then. 4-Speed Automatic it is. :-p

They likely invested in Ram and Jeep because those brands have the most potential value to an FCA purchaser. Moreover, said purchaser would likely already have a line-up of cars and not need FCA’s models so why invest there. But nobody wanted them, so here they are with a couple of Chryslers and some really old Dodges…

It’s not just the raptor. Here’s me standing behind a Ram.

The Thunderbird stayed RWD, and we all know how that worked out.
