I’d bet they’re getting a lot of wrinkly envelopes.

WAOW THES IS A HAUT TAEK! YUR A COOL DUDE!

buttery smooth, its amazing.

Goodness gracious that Galaxie wagon is gorgeous.

Fewer than five doors does not a shooting brake make.

Jesus Christ dude, you misread his comment and reacted way too strongly to it.

Ugh, its the worst when you get damage on a car that is still good looking but not worth enough to repair.

The 2 door Falcon Sport Coupe has a really similar profile to the mustang. It’s honestly surprising to me that they sold both of them at the same time, especially considering they were also mechanically identical.

Hahah, yeaaah. Half the compliments I get are from random members of the public, and the other half are definitely from homeless guys. Also I have to remember that when people see my car, most of them like it. I like it of course, but I also see all of the problems really prominently and it’s hard to realize other…

I like this take. I think that’s definitely part of it. People like that it’s clearly driven every day, it feels more enjoyed than a show car that’s sat in a garage.

Oh man you have no idea how many things I’ve adjusted and replaced on the Falcon. Just this weekend though I finally solved it when I realized that the top half of the carburetor was badly warped, making a valve seize. I cobbled together a working carb from a couple I had sitting around and now the misfire is finally…

That’s more than 20 years after consumer cars started being produced. By the 1920s cars were already pretty sophisticated, with some consumer cars capable of over 100mph. Oldsmobile was already a 23 year old company by 1920.

Nah, I’m pretty sure any truck would have been dirty in the pictures taken during a 700 mile camping trip. It’s not some masculinity compensation thing, Andrew isn’t that insecure.

The sound design in it was really killing it for me. It just sounded so weird and empty, and that didn’t help the pacing at all.

Ah okay, it being an F100 makes a big difference. I’d love to have one of that generation. I’m glad my Falcon is a 68, partly because that means it came from the factory with a dual reservoir system, single reservoir ones are terrifying to me. I think it was also the first year with shoulder belts and a collapsible…

First thing, no. If your car is in gear and off it doesn’t care which direction the pressure is applied to the engine, it’ll still hold.

How often do you wash your car while camping?

$kaycog, any idea if there are even any Jalopnik staff that have been around for as long as you’ve been leaving these comments? I started reading the site around the time you started leaving them, and I don’t think any of the writer’s names are the same.

My friend’s 65 Ford with drum brakes didn’t take much to stop, I think there was some sort of persistent problem with the brakes on your car. Same thing with pulling to the side while stopping; if the car is driven often and the brake system is in good shape the brakes should adjust themselves even. Coming off the…

I dunno, I think people really exaggerate how difficult old cars are to drive. They drive an old car for 10 minutes and proclaim “THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE AND COULD NEVER BE DONE” because they didn’t take the time to get used to it. My first car 9 years ago was the same 1968 Falcon I drive now; unassisted drum brakes, no…
