@smokeydog001: That was awesome. I'll take the Saab, and keep the soundtrack from that video as the carrot that'll keep me at the project until it sounds just, like, that.

@Bento: Shriners on crack; what a mental picture that conjures!

@smokeydog001: Well said. I'm not quite as old as you, but am old enough to remember the ice age bs that had everybody all in a tizzy.

Jeez guys; this is a car blog. You're only supposed to get pissed if somebody disses your ride or your girlfriend/wife. All this political bs belongs elsewhere.

We've been experiencing global temperature fluctuations since the beginning of time, and that includes the time before internal combustion engines roamed the planet. If what Bob meant was, "The theory that the current global warming trend is influenced by human activity is a total crock of sh!t," then pat the man on…

What do the skidpad & quarter-mile numbers look like?

I voted Country Squire. The Merc is nice, and has a nice lead in the poll, but there's something about the woodgrain and those hubcaps that does it for me.

Let's see... Philadelphia cancer or deer collision plus engine fire. Some choice.

Rear engine front drive?!?! On a Festiva of all things. That guy deserves whatever fate that deathtrap dishes up for him. The best part of his description has to be, "... and the stock brakes definitely need up grading, but I'll get to that later." That's the hoon's equivalent of, "Hey, y'all! Watch this!"

This thing is awesome. Especially so because just this last weekend I was daydreaming about what kind of car a guy could graft a Vista Cruiser roof onto; somebody was reading my mind. I was thinking of something a little more modern, but this is wild.

I'd go for the package deal; I'm thinking plunk the engine/gearbox from the 308 into the Esprit (how hard could that be?), get some plexiglass from Home Depot to fill the holes in the cabin, and I'm screaming around town in a Lo-Ferrari.

I'd normally go with the General on something like this, but I've always wanted to build a Suprang, so there you go.

Drive it like you stole it, Comrade.

@SeanKHotay: Ok, I'll bite; how do you know?

So unnecessary. And so unnecessarily expensive.

"Achmed, you idiot! You were supposed to be the wheel chock! Why did you roll out of the way of the *$&^# truck, you stinking son of camel dung!"

"it has A/C but no heat" sealed the deal for me. The P'up'd never make it this far north.

I don't remember what kind of mod he was doing, but I remember seeing him take an axe to the roof of a car recently when the hacksaw didn't cut fast enough. Who needs a SawsAll!

That thing is flat out awesome. And just think; if the rear and front were swapped, the whole narrow front end concern is no more.

Simca FTW!
