Good God I love those 70s shades of brown especially.

As someone living near Miami, with an enormous amount of Florida’s population densely laid about around me, I have to say it’s usually weeks in between seeing one of these things on the road. They literally don’t fit in the back streets. Weird cars from the 70s though...

I actually think it looks very unique and we’re not used to seeing cars that look like this at all. Things like the Lincoln Continental Mark whatevers (and the cars badge engineered from it) and this convertible and it’s siblings look like they’re only a few body mods away from looking genuinely awesome. And if one…

You’re right, it’s not like there are any negative consequences to letting corporations make rules without regard to human safety concerning those things. Especially since the NRA and GOP told us it was ‘Murican to be stupid enough to ignore the scientists saying that pollution does, in fact, pose a threat to the…

Yeah, most of the people who do that are White trash who have been trained to think that politicians and corporations are trustworthy but anyone with an education is suspicious. They don’t have much else other than being ignorant towards people who want to make the world a better place.

Completely absurd builds like this are what makes American car culture great, and I'm not even joking. Every nation has it's classics, and every nation has it's crapcans. So few have vehicles that exist for the sheer sake of existing.

I'm honestly mildly disappointed that this wasn't the introduction of some car-shaped gourmet confection or pate based product.

Oh God, the battery. Thank you for reminding me. Mine had an alternator that blew a belt while driving and eventually the battery gave out. When I first noticed that the battery wasn't where I expected it to be, I thought "Maybe it's in the trunk, like a race car!". It wasn't in the trunk. It was the opposite of a…

It's almost impossible to imagine someone taking a look at one of these and saying to themselves "Yep, totally worth the interest payments. I need that thing brand new".

]]My undergrad car. The Plymouth Breeze. Why did they call it a breeze? Anything more than 30mph is a "gale". It broke down just frequently enough to keep me paying, without the ability to just walk away and buy a better, cheaper car. Also, it somehow only used Mitsubishi parts, but without that fully functional…

The headlights are correct, but the rear pillar seems to blend directly into the body and the car seems a good few inches wider than a Corolla?

I've seen an electric 914 and was told flatly by it's owner that it's lift off speed makes it a pretty unbeatable fun machine. Although, as fun as a massive diesel is, electricity does make far, far more torque...

So far, Bugatti has been the ultimate Halo car; a lot of it's technology could be dumbed down eventually and put into drastically cheapers cars while at the same time boosting the brand and giving some lean compensation for immediate advanced research (although it would still be impossible for them to make a profit,…

Popular place for us math folk, eh? Too many people our generation grouping lean towards liberal arts, free time and hobbies. It often seems like the right way to go and can earn you a good amount of acceptance in college, but the economic climate for someone graduating with a literature, arts, philosophy or…

Due to the rapid appreciation of these, there are just too many other options out there for funner, cheaper hoonery. Also, now that they've been lauded by Top Gear and others, they're just too common at car/tuning shows. It was a bit cooler back when no one knew why these could theoretically be very fun cars.

Personally, I think Bloomberg tends to sensationalize anything about business change in a rather negative manner.

This entire Crack pipe could be summed up as much. In theory, the idea of paying more for a car that has an interesting engine swap sounds great. In all reality, very few people, even out of car fans, are willing to risk the possibly insane mechanical issues of someone else's dream project and if they are, odds are…

Actually, I lived through the 90s and was referring to the old big body Cadillacs in the previous post. If you look at someone's post, you'll actually be able to see who they were replying to and possibly follow along. Thanks.

I'm not sure I'd buy that particular one, but seeing things like this certainly does increase my confidence and desire in a psychotic engine swap of a similar nature.

BURN!
