I’ve worked in trucking for over 50 years. All these answers are wrong. They are called “hotdog doors”. Whenever we go to truck stops to do whatever it is we do there, we also buy lots of hotdogs. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, it all depends on the altitude of your location. We would store said hotdogs in the…

I was going to say the same thing. A ‘55 150 or 210 is great. I like the Bel Air as well, but I’d prefer less chrome and I think it looks better with only one color.

Well yeah, where do you think all those people in Florida are originally from?

The New Yorkers I grew up with in the ‘70s are being drawn to Florida like moths to a flame.  New York is a huge part of what makes Florida Florida.

I think it looks pretty good for a Pontiac.

Jeep finally made a vehicle so bad, even the nameplate is being recalled!

The term “schtick” implies some kind of performance. This is not that, it’s a passion that has existed since I was a child (a passion so strong it drove me to study engineering, move to Detroit, and work for Jeep).

I’m just buying whatever vehicle I want to buy (remember, I have to pay for these machines with my own…

This reminds me that some TDI Vanagon swaps have a Jetta instrument cluster hidden somewhere. The ECU’s theft protection features mean it won’t work without the right cluster plugged in.

Have you driven any of these cars? All new cars feel neutered in comparison to their counterparts from the early 2000s. STIs and WRX are not that exciting in stock form and s2000's have such long gear ratios that you dont need to shift beyond 3rd on good back road. I’ve only driven the twins a few times but the skinny…

And the Alpine!

Wait. Ford sells a Focus ST wagon across the pond, but thinks every American’s idea of a versatile entry level car is a jacked up EcoSport?

Seeing a red street-parked C4 makes me half expect to see an angry John Goodman wailing on it with a tire iron.

I’ve read a bunch of stuff about McQueen, and yeah, some things say he was an abusive prick, others say he was a completely misunderstood, stand up guy. I’m sure the truth is somewhere in between and objectively the facts we know seem to bear that out. He was a product of his times, and a product of a really rough…

Yes, Singers are overpriced. Yes, Singers are overdesigned. Yes, I will never own one and it’s even unlikely I will see one IRL. I don’t care. They are awesome. 

Don’t be thinking small. Think BIG. Think Continental. Think New Yorker. Think Delta 88. Tbink about all those smooth-riding malaise-yachts with 150 horsepower lumps. Imagine doubling or tripling the power of one of those things and gliding along in silent splendor...

Polo = polio? Haha. I’m opposed to the post-colonialism classist sport that polo has become too.

The Chinook, great to stand behind as you wait to board in the middle of the German winter basking in the hot turbine exhaust that’s warming your frozen body, bad to stand behind as you wait to board in the middle of the Iraqi summer being annoyed in the hot turbine exhaust that’s baking your already soaked-with-sweat…

No, but odds are it was started by a moron.

At no point did he threaten to put the Mandolorean “through that fuckin wall so help me god”, which was a wasted opportunity I think.
