I brought a ‘91 Park Avenue back from the dead this past winter, got the car for $400 with one foot in the junkyard. Swapped over a junkyard ignition module, threw some new plugs and wires on and walmarts cheapest 10w30 dino oil and she was good to go. Mine was the older Series I rated at a ‘measly’ 170hp and aluminum…

Yeash: the 3800 will still be on the road chugging along long after your Volvo has been turned into a Chinese washing machine

It’s almost like your brains have completely fried

No.

It’s even farther removed than that. A similar year Vette and Tahoe would at least be from the same general “family” of GM V8s, an old NSX was the old “C” series of 1st gen Honda V6s, Odysseys all have SOHC J series engines.

850 T5

That’s why almost all of the suggestions I’m seeing both from the writers and commenters absolutely suck.

Definitely not $5k cheap.  Not by a mile.

Buy a starter bike to learn the basics on and not worry about dropping/scratching/etc. My personal favorite recommendation is the naked 90s-early 2000s Suzuki GS500E. Stupid simple and reliable aircooled parallel twin, no fairings to mess up. More low-end/midrange than something like a ubiquitous Ninja 500. A very…

How do none of the writers or commenters actually suggest anything worth a damn?  The obvious answer seems to be something RWD/V8/Chevy-motored.  Whether that’s taking an old silverado and throwing a turbo on the LS, hot rodding an old G-body, a V8 S10 swap, etc etc.  A freaking VW Jetta wagon and a Lincoln LS? …

Dealership clocked in record profits so far in 2021 lmao.  They’re loving this.

The new gen Explorer STs with BLACKED OUT EVERYTHING are all over our ritzy burbs. They make the previous gen 3.5EB rigs look demure by comparison.

And I’ll call you out on the “4.0/4.6 boat anchor” comment. The 4.0 SOHC is a complete frankenstein turd from a design perspective, but they make very decent power for the…

I did a full loop like you from starting on an XS500 (still have it, rode it across the entire US and back), then progressing up the ladder of some newer bikes with more power, ended up at a ‘99 Bandit 1200S. Loved the torque on that thing, but riding was just getting too dangerous with my buds on sport bikes. Sold…

But that’s because it has exactly the same engine as an Acura NSX

Hold up, this is just me missing internet sarcasm right?

Better or not, the mustang driver would get a nice view of the Chevy’s taillights pulling away

Yeah not sure how anyone remotely into cars could have messed that up

That’s an incredible stretch to qualify this as “automotive news”

You’re not wrong, but you’ll pay double for an LS 4th gen, around here anyways, and it’s damn near impossible to find one that isn’t heavily modified and/or ragged out. The earlier LT cars seem to pop up in stock condition more frequently. Stock for stock, they’ve very close to the LS cars in performance. For a fun…

They’re not bad.  I drove one 10 hours from Indy to Des Moines.  Clueless “enthusiasts” just like to use them as punching bags for some reason.

Spot on analysis.
