I may be a bad driver, but I'm pretty good at it.

Yes to all of those questions.

My '63 Fairlane 500 has never let me down, even though I drive it like a modern-day Jehu everywhere I go.

I dig it.

I'm not exactly in the position to judge, but I noticed he spent the majority of those crucial seconds turning the wheel toward the tires, and that's the direction the car went. For the split second he was turning toward the inside of the turn, the car seemed to be doing all right. I know he was correcting for…

No cup holders in the '63 Fairlane. Not a huge deal, though, since I end up just drinking out of things with screw-on caps.

DMC all the way! I've seen too many Bricklins with warping body panel issues, and frankly, the huge rear safety bumper thing is a huge turn-off for me. There's a reason most people seem to take pictures of Bricklins from the front...

Rats, you beat me to it!

It may not be the prettiest engine of ALL TIME, but I rather like Leno's tank car engine.

Well personally, I'd rather not have to worry about replacing expensive batteries. And wouldn't making it hybrid involve using heavy batteries? I mean, if I wanted an equivalent increase in power I could build up the gasoline engine and maybe add a supercharger, which would increase weight, sure, but not as much as a…

1963. It was arguably the best year for Ford (63 1/2 Galaxie, the iconic spaceship-like T-Bird, last-of-the-fins Fairlane (like mine), and the Falcons were pretty nice, too!) — and the other manufacturers generally made some pretty fantastic cars in '63 as well. The C2 split-window 'Vette, for instance. Jaguar was…

I feel like everyone is saying how great the emperor's new clothes are in the name of "change" or breaking with tradition or paradigm shifts or whatever other meaningless buzzwords are supposed to make a person sound forward-thinking. I have no problem with Jeep exploring new looks; it's not that I despise change, but…

Yes definitely.

The values haven't necessarily changed THAT much; the value of the dollar has decreased due to inflation, while the actual values of the old muscle cars have stayed fairly constant (not all have really appreciated that significantly). Thus, the current nominal dollar value is higher than it was, but the value of the…

It's not quite a "muscle" car, but I drove a '63 Fairlane as a daily driver for a year — now it's more of a good-weather car. It cost $7500, so it wasn't dirt cheap — but it wasn't a bank-breaker, either. It isn't an animal or anything — just a hopped-up 200ci — but the T-5 makes it fun. I can drive that thing as its…

WWII anti-Japanese propaganda, anyone?

Lemme go ahead and list a few:
1) Partially arked in the yellow no-park zone
2) Parked sideways in the space
3) If this is to be considered parallel parking, then they are too far from the curb
4) Do they even have a handicap tag?
5) In order to get into this position, it appears they would have had to have come through…
