Elevator Pitch, Kenny Weld and Gary Balough in a ‘Smokey and the Bandit/Blues Brothers-esque’ comedy where they are running cocaine cross country in an AMC Gremlin painted like the Weikert’s Livestock #29 Big Block Modified and a Lincoln Town Car painted like the #112 Batmobile Modified respectively to raise the money

I mean all three cars are Giorgetto Giugiaro designs and do have some familial styling cues. Then again nobody has ever told me how nice my Iso Grifo is...  

“Cool window mod, how much did it cost?” Or of course the old standby, “Is that a DeLorean?”

A Docudrama on the 1981 Van Scoy Diamond Mine 500 at Pocono. Champ Car boycotted the race and USAC used Silver Crown Cars to fill out the field, it was also AJ Foyt’s final win in an Indy Car. As much as I would love to just watch the race (which as far as I am aware doesn’t exist, I’ve spent years looking) I would

I have a personally curated Ralph Wiggum meme locked and loaded for when my time comes, as much as I dislike the slideshow as a “journalistic” practice.

Can confirm Vulcan power, fuel mileage and durability. My first car was a 92 Taurus, it had 125 HP, got 16mpg on average and I once drove it 50 miles with both radiator tanks cracked, the thing didn’t even overheat! Rust took it at 206k miles but it was driven onto the rollback to go for scrap, at $75 over my purchase

Your dads’ let you drive their trucks? That’s cool... My dad is way too possessive of the rusty ‘96 Cummins he has...

This is directly related to nearly everyone’s lack of respect for their “other man,” be it on the roads, or in any other aspect of human interaction.

Tangentially pertinent question, has anyone ever seen a high mileage example of one of these? 

I’ll change the plugs on an EJ25 in the car, but I will absolutely go through the hassle of pulling an EG33, there is NO room in there.

I feel like my Kizashi advocacy is finally paying off, finally.

Suzuki Kizashi was snubbed.

Even more found their way into Vanagons... Which I find morally reprehensible but I guess we’re all entitled to our own opinions. There is also a 911 that I saw getting a swap a while ago on YouTube but I haven’t been keeping up on it. Checked the channel, no real updates in over a year sadly. It’s a stout and over

American Motors Corporation. Whether it was poor management, lack of funds, questionable mergers, they made innovative cars for their day. Yes they didn’t have the build quality of the big 3 and put out some misses, but the most beloved Jeeps come from AMC, they had the best pony car out of the all the US, and they

Worlds Fastest Suzuki Kizashi, I knew I still had them!

I’ve owned 2 over the years, my first (which is sadly rotting on my parents’ farm because some idiot ran over it at a red light) was an automatic 94, I swapped in an early 1st gen Forester 4.44:1 transmission into it and it was super quick but still slushy. My current is a very early 92 (the one in the picture. The

More of a stereotypical jest than anything. I’ve owned a couple of 1st gen Foresters, and it’s been a mixed bag, my 99 had rust everywhere, I found it in the local U-Pull it earlier this year and it was disintegrating. But my 02, which I daily to this day is still relatively rust free 19 years later and this is in

I like how David’s choice is the Fe2O3 choice! More seriously though the aftermarket for Subaru is unparalleled, if you want mods you can absolutely get mods. Subarus are so lego like and most parts fit lots of models. You want mods and a manual, this has got your mods and manual.

That car was really gunning for the Impreza/Lancer market. This I think was the first car I ever saw and said “I could live with that as my daily.” I happened to see the world’s fastest Kizashi back in 2011 at the Harrisburg Auto Show (I think I have pictures on an external drive at home). Also special consideration

I am biased but, my pick is one of these with a manual swap. People will tell you it’s slow and heavy (neither of which are entirely true). It is true that with the standard 4EAT and rear end they are failure prone and slow, but that can be fixed with mods and some fab work. Even if the manual isn’t your route,
