NP for me, the early C3 convertibles are the best looking Corvettes of all time in my book. That Muncie is pretty bulletproof, and the 454 wouldn’t abuse the pocketbook the way a 427 would as far as maintenance would go. People aren’t as precious about 454 cars, so adding miles is less of a concern. This would be the…

I was right in the target demographic for the original cartoon, had dozens of He-Man toys, and never missed an episode back in the days when you had to be in front of the TV at a specific time. I watched Revelation and enjoyed it, but “killing” Adam a second time did seem a little like Fonzie on water skis. 

When I think of ultra-luxury I think of Rolls Royce, or Maybach, not Aston Martin. But if big soft crossovers keep them making the DB series cars and lunatic hypercars like the Valkyrie then more power to them. Every cup of tea doesn’t have to be MY cup of tea. 

Thats pretty much how GM made it through the 90s, along with full sized trucks. I loved the 95 Trans Am I had, but it was a poorly built piece of shit were every penny was pinched outside of the drivetrain. It rattled more than Michael J Fox holding a half filled bottle of Advil with even the slightest bumps in the…

Maximas tend to be nicer than you’d expect. A friend bought a loaded one about ten years ago and I was pretty surprised with how nice it was, and how well it drove. I did like the Xterra Pro 4, not enough buy one, but they were pretty decent rigs. Really the only one I’d consider is the Z car, just because I have…

I love 5 cylinder Audis, but for the money they are asking they should fix the seat, moonroof and fuel gauge. At this point the car is going to be a rolling project, and the $20k this seller wants is just an entrance fee to being nickeled and dimed by the quarter century components giving out for the duration of…

When I was five years old my stepdad announced he had bought a Nova. As a kid infatuated with cars I got excited, one of my dads cousins had a sweet 70 Nova. I went outside to find a 77 Nova, which at the time was an 8 year old car. That great disappointment has scarred my soul, and there is no scenario where a…

It’s not that a 2F wasn’t good, they are pretty reliable, but not good for highway use, and drink like a good sized V8 from the 70s. They will run forever if you keep up on maintenance and aren’t powerful enough to break anything. 

There is nothing more expensive than a cheap German car. I’d probably think about it if I had a LS3 sitting in a corner to throw into it. For the money you’ll end up putting into it you could get a legitimately mint 500SL.

Headlines are for reading, articles are not. 

It would need a giant fuel tank. Top fuel dragsters would use about 28 gallons of fuel per mile. It would take a lot of luck to have a motor last a complete mile, I would think the camshaft and valvetrain would turn to a fine shiny dust well before ten miles are up. 

It was more than likely boomers buying these in the late 90s. These were something like $1.5 million new. That works out to around $2.5 million in todays money, which probably kept them out of the hands of any gen Xers not belonging to middle eastern royal families. 

I saw it was a Lawrence Hodge post and instinctively clicked on the edge of the picture three times before noticing it wasn’t a slideshow. 

I went to school with a rich kid whose dad owned a paving company. For his 16th birthday he got a brand new 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 and had it for about three days. The reason he had it for three days was his new truck had the Magnum 360, and he wanted the V10, so his dad took it back and got him a V10. He seemed to get…

Minor league baseball has some of the best team names in the world.

Footwear and jeans. Good shoes or boots are the difference between joint pain and none. As for the jeans, I have pairs of Levis that I’ve been wearing since the 90s. My thrifty wife cringes when I buy a couple pairs, but they last forever, where cheap stuff I’ve bought for work have been shot out in a year. 

Hair and fingernails will grow for a little while after death, so he could have gone into the bog clean shaven. 

It isn’t just farmers cranking up the boost and fuel. You can’t change the starter on a new John Deere and make it work without a service tech plugging in their computer to activate the new starter. This isn’t locking out engine management parameters, it is solely for the purpose of monopolizing maintenance. 

It is a GM...

That’s exactly what it is, it is really nice for hauling gravel and dirt if you are landscaping.
