I love this car precisely because it’s weird looking, not in spite of it. The only way it could be better is if it were painted British racing green or one of the John Player Specials. As for the panel gaps and general fit of the car, it’s a Lotus. They were not exactly known for that. If that’s something that bothers…

Judging by all of the terrible drivers here, I’m not convinced that the driving test is actually beneficial. Unless things have changed, it all takes place in a parking lot anyway.  I swear they’ll give a driver’s license to anyone with a pulse. I don’t know why we’re trying to become the new Florida, but here we are.

Not every car needs to be over-styled to death. Sometimes plain and clean design is good.

Wait you have a clean ’66 Mustang to fix and you’re fucking around with all these bummy-ass Jeeps?

If you are making new lines anyway, a ‘67 mustang dual resivour Master Cylinder is a direct bolt in safety upgrade. You can also ditch the pressure switch for the brake lights and use a ‘76 F150 mechanical brake light switch in place of the rubber snubber for the brake pedal.

Pretty much everything that everyone gripes about today’s car styling—all cars are covered with unnecessary streaks, creases, and fake vents—are present on this old Mustang

I think old-style high-end cars would feature a lot of lead loading to hide panel joins. I’m pretty sure that even the Karman Ghia featured lead loading to conceal the gaps where panels met (apart from where you had an opening panel).

You are correct sir. In fact, we use silver dynoc(a metallic stretchable film) to evaluate clay models in the design studio. Silver makes it very easy to see subtle surface variations, which is important when we are finalizing surfacing on a new car.

Sears used to sell cars...so why not!

In other words...

I went to an unfamiliar VW dealer the other day to pick up a little part I needed, and they had installed the 3 blinky 3rd brake light on EVERY SINGLE NEW CAR THEY HAD!

This is part one of the series at Jalopnik.

For companies that want bailouts, I think there should be a set of criteria to qualify.

1. If you spent your giant tax break money on stock buybacks - go fuck yourself.
2. If your CEO got a giant bonus from tax break money - go fuck yourself
3. If your employees are woefully underpaid, worked to death, and have no…

Imagine getting yourself fired over a Taurus.

I don’t get the simultaneous pro-dealer and anti-dealer sentiments

You’re right, it’s more of a Shelbyville idea...

This!  This makes me insane!   *Thinks car is backing out.  Stops, waits.  Sees someone walking away key fob in hand, clicking it a few times as they walk into the store.  Car is off, doors locked, reverse lights on.

I find this far less annoying than GM’s insistence on using the reverse lights as parking lights.
