The heck with the Cuda, that’s an AMC Hornet in the other lane. A Hornet!!!

You say there are only two ways to see the country, I’d like to add a third and best way: by motorcycle. I’ve done cars, trains, RVs, and even buses, but once I used a bike I realized I’d never really experienced the road. This only applies to blue highways, motorcycles and Interstates are the definition of soporific.…
I hope the doors aren’t make by Skynet, or it’s the beginning of the end for mankind.
The Illinois Enema Bandit finally has some competition!
Great analogy, I'll have to try it on a few people.
And tied with commercials is the idiot factor, as in they assume everyone watching is an idiot who has never seen a car, a race, or a car race. I only watch an American broadcast when there's no choice and am appalled at how bad they are, the constant commercials and blathering fools behind the microphones (F1…
There are a lot of things in life that should stay fantasies and owning a 5 is one of them. I bought one new in 79, autocrossed it (and by that I mean entered it in a few events, it was TERRIBLE), thrashed up some local rally roads (Olympia, WA) and totaled it in '80. It had the giant cloth sunroof and rolling it…
I love seeing Mazda reversing the increased weight trend in the last few years. There's hope!
1964 Austin Healey Sprite, bright red, a rust disaster, total loss oiling system, the top was in tatters, and one SU carb would go full open once in a while. I LOVED THAT CAR!! Unfortunately it wouldn't pass its first inspection and when someone tried to jump start it for test drive they didn't understand 'positive…
I'll take a look at that, Rendezvous has an earlier release date but that doesn't mean it was filmed before, so you may be right. Either way, both are fun.
Little know fact, but Rendezvous was a practice run for a pivotal scene in his upcoming film, Le Chat et la souris (Cat and Mouse), a rarely seen film. In it a police inspector tries to prove the wife could have gotten across Paris in short period of time to murder her husband and return home. First he tries it with…

Everything was better in the 60's. I know, I was there, although the memories are a bit blurry now.
That's what just about every modern race car looks like under the skin. It's all about packaging, getting the smallest frontal area. The damper doesn't care where or how it's mounted.
I thinks it's been done before - Two Lane Blacktop:
I'm (not very) proud to say I've rolled a Renault R5 and I'm sure it was as awesome as these. Although the police didn't use the word 'awesome'!
"Hindenburging" - this is now a thing, you've invented it! Let's hope (on many levels) it doesn't become popular like twerking.
I use my 4-way flashers, that seems to get most people's attention and generally they back off. On my motorcycle I start with a simple hand gesture, then move on to 'that' hand gesture. And get the hell out of there!
I watched the show a while back and the car already had the American V8 engine and enough dents and body filler that it wasn't worth restoring. Not sure this was the right direction either...
Underalls? This is the only picture I can find, but I seem to recall the car was pink a few times.
