Not a fan of having to join a mailing list to see poll results, or do a survey. As for the ‘lude, CP. I see them not unfrequently for sale in my area in similar condition for around $1,500 less, even cheaper if you don’t mind Autozone cold air intakes and plastidipped wheels. 

There isn’t a whole lot of wiggle room if you are designing a car to be an homage to race cars from the late 60's/early 70's. Of course they are going to look similar. The rear ends are pretty significantly different. The shifter does look like it was lifted from the Huayra, but little else does. That said, the first…

Is it a better deal than the combined value of the Indian Scout FTR 1200 and Honda Africa Twin, both of which I want desperately? The Livewire looks cool, but damn! There is a lot of stuff that would be pretty awesome to have for a lot less. 

The Charger, Challenger, and 300. For a time they also got the Sprinter with an appropriately ugly grill. 

Here’s a picture of the perpetrator.

Those old console TV’s would run from $500 to $700 in early 80's money, so that would be around $1,100 to $1,500 in today’s money. It would be a lot harder to justify that every couple of years. 

I grew up in a Ford family, mom and dad both had Mustangs. So it’s pretty easy to guess where my vote goes. I did however buy a 95 Trans Am back in 2000. It was a blast to drive, but miserable to sit in any seat without a steering wheel in front of it, the passenger seat foot well had an odd lump for the pillow sized…

The 7.3 is replacing the 6.2 Modular V8 in the Super Duty trucks. It’s supposed to be have significantly more torque, and actually be better on fuel when towing. This is the motor to get if you tow an RV a couple times a year and don’t want to add the cost of a diesel into the equation. 

Do you want to tank them in the middle east or something?

When I was stuck in Iraq for 2004 I got the idea of trying to pick up a Lotus Europa. I had a bank account full of cash, and no bills to speak of, so off to eBay I went. Every single Europa for sale was in the Northeast, I was from the PNW. The thought of Lucas electrical components making it from upstate New York to…

Neutral: I’m biased towards Fords as my family has been buying them new since at least 1929. The new Silverado is just plain ugly, but I’d listen to the case for a 30mpg full size for sure. Ugly worked on a Prius because the car was as much a political statement as it was a vehicle to the american buying public, ugly…

I had a 93 Eddie Bauer that I bought from my grandparents who were the original owners. It was the most comfortable road trip vehicle I’ve ever owned. Kind of wished I’d have kept it. 

Because an Indian Scout Sixty will kick the teeth in on a Harley Sportster with a 1200cc engine, for less money. The Scout FTR 1200 is killer looking, and Indian doesn’t have all the grandpa bike baggage that Harley does. 

I’d imagine Mitsubishi didn’t push its off road heritage in the US because of its long partnership with Chrysler, who wouldn’t want them stepping on Jeeps toes. 

But an NASCAR race will have more lead changes in a quarter of a race then two seasons of Formula 1.  

I’d recommend Ben start travelling to eateries and coffee shops with a herald of trumpets who play every time he leaves a tip. That way he becomes easily recognizable, servers are never in doubt of his generosity, and they don’t have to direct their attention away from the task at hand. He just better make sure to…

I’m familiar with this dealership, and they are pretty straight forward when they know a vehicle has issues, but this is probably not in their wheelhouse. If I remember right these need $15,000 engine out services every 15,000 miles, and that was a price from about 15 years ago. This could potentially be a $55,000…

The Prius doesn’t do itself any favors in the looks department. That used to be a selling point, when you wanted your eco piety to be evident at 100 yards. But if you could get that drivetrain in something that didn’t look ugly for ugly’s sake, why wouldn’t you? The Fusion was a pretty car, and bigger, if you had a…

After some searching a new Mercury Capri cost under $13,000. Asking near 3 times as much for the Lotus probably didn’t help, especially when a Miata drives as well as it does. 

Things are moving upscale. My 2014 Jetta TDi Sportwagon is every bit as nice of a place to be compared to the 2003 BMW 325i that once addorned my driveway. When I was in high school in the 90's a VW wasn’t really all that nice of a car, certainly not one that would have heated leather seats.
