I can appreciate the condition of the car, but you can get a decent example of any of the more desirable Preludes for that kind of money. As clichéd as it is to bitch about automatics, something like this, with less than 80 horsepower at best would be proof of why automatics are awful.  

I have a hard time imagining a scenario where I would want a perfectly running Pontiac 6000 given to me for free, let alone for $7,000. Those transmissions were absolute trash behind a stock motor, and I don’t imagine that turd could be polished to a level of shine needed to handle even the most smog choked V8. 

People tend to get upset when they see someone screwing in public. I would think there might be some benefit to hiding them as far as avoiding corrosion, but that could probably be avoided with higher grade fasteners. The interior screws in my FJ62 seem to be completely comprised of extremely fine iron oxide and…

The worst thing I’ve left in my car would have to be the result of my 21st birthday. I was in the Marine Corps and by some weird fluke there was about 7 of us who turned 21 within about a two week window. I was the 6th guy on the list, which meant heading to the bar with the previous 5 to punish my liver like it…

Rockstar has gotten more proactive about going after modders. If you gift yourself, or are gifted hundreds of millions of dollars at some point they will reset your profile. Cayo Perico has almost negated the need for money cheats. Get a bunker, a nightclub, and the biker businesses, which passively feed the nightclub…

I have a 5 year old, so a few times a year she wrangles me into taking her to Chuck E Cheese. I won’t eat the pizza anymore, but I will occasionally choke down some breadsticks that taste like day old Pizza Hut breadsticks. Even she doesn’t like the animatronic stage show, but she is pretty solidly hooked on the…

While eating pizza whose level of quality Totinos would be ashamed of.

Do you think they let their trademark on Lightning lapse? Especially moving into electric vehicles? I’d bet within 5 years we see a ridiculous fast electric F-150 wearing a Lightning badge. 

Looking through the pictures I want a Land Cruiser firetruck almost as much as I don’t need a Land Cruiser firetruck. 

I’m sure Ford would have something to say about that. 

As a kid that grew up watching Dukes of Hazzard, and having rode around in a 69 Charger for a while as a kid this was the first sedan concept car I was excited about. The eventual production Charger sedan just never hit the same way for me. 

Does the vehicle sell well in a red state or non coastal metropolitan area in the US or Canada and have a horsepower number that could be rounded up to four figures? If so, its the worst thing ever. Does it sell in a liberal by American standards European country? If so, it’s cheeky/sneaky/subversive.

Fun fact, haul trucks, like the one in the top picture use about 2,000 gallons of diesel a day. Mines usually have dozens of them, mine had a fleet of about 30 with at least 25 of them in constant operation. I’ve only ever seen a lithium mine as far as minerals for batteries, and it looked like a hellscape compared to…

Ever driven an Isuzu P’up with a diesel engine? It felt like it had maybe 50 horsepower from a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder. Getting it up to 55 miles per hour seemed to take several minutes while hauling a YZ125 in the bed. I don’t think 70mph would be possible short of pushing it out the back of a cargo plane. 

You could always check the Thanos copter for gas if you need to top off. 

If you are a gen Xer at some point in your childhood you rode in one. My grandfather on my stepmothers side had a 70's Wagoneer. It’s mostly a nostalgia thing. 

My local Dodge dealership is in the same boat, they have three new Rams on the lot, one Jeep Compass, and a Journey. They have about a dozen cars left on their used lot. 

A quick google search of Chinese Star Wars The Force Awakens movie posters seem to support the assessment. 

I bought a 1994 Mustang GT from my brother when he found out he had a daughter on the way. He’d gotten it while stationed in Hawaii and had it shipped back to Washington state when he EASed. He was a mechanic in the Marine Corps, so you’d figure that he’d at least keep up on basic maintenance, but the neutral safety…

The absolute best part of SoCal commuting on any interstate was all the dickheads performing absolutely vital lane splitting in stopped traffic at 50+mph. Harley leather daddies might be loud and obnoxious, but the crotch rocket crowd has plenty of loud, obnoxious and DANGEROUS assholes in their ranks as well.
