The furthest I've ever driven was from Hartford CT to Philadelphia for my '62 Comet. It was on ebay with a vague description and a low current bid.

The first good scrubbing of a project car can be the most satisfying thing in the world.
Most long-haul truck have them, they're called sleeper cabs. They vary between a tiny space with a bunk to giant ones with all the luxuries of an RV.
The shredded skin on the inside of your left leg will make a nice counterpoint to the burned skin on the inside of your right leg.

If you truly want weirdly outdated Fords, it is hard to compete with the Argentinean Ford Falcon, which was produced there from 1962 to 1991! And while it was restyled several times there were all basically bumper & grille jobs that left the '62 body shell intact.
What is that? I've never seen one before. It looks like the cab is a super-shortened Dodge van with a weird nose.
That red & white truck is customized, those are later wheels, and it has a billet grille.
This only works so long, then AAA puts a note in your account and every subsequent driver demands proof of registration before they will load your POS on their truck. Ask me how I know...
I have been ridiculously lucky with every "non running" project car I've ever bought. They either started well enough to be driven onto the trailer, or started with only a bit of fiddling once I got them home.
Clearly job 1 is getting it running ,however badly. Then job two is driving it up into the woods behind it an out to the street where you drive it home with no brakes and everything feeling like it is going to fall apart.
My only experience with the Port Authority terminal was picking up my then-girlfriend there. She was from Toronto and had taken a bus ton NYC, where I was picking her up to drive her back to RI.
Thank you for cluing me into the existence of this amazing car.
And how do you know they are driving automatics or manuals from another car? Also given manuals are 7% of cars sold in the US, your sample sizes are likely skewed.
So the transmission where you *have* to take your hand off the wheel regularly is more safe than the on where you don't because with the one where you don't you can take your hand off the wheel? Your logic train needs work.
Being more involved in deciding what gear the transmission is in does not automatically correlate to being more involved in paying attention to the road. In fact, all things being equal the car where you have to divide your attention between the road and the gearbox would make it less safe as you *have* to be…
Nope, I am pointing out how flawed your argument is. And you are responding with insults.
Personal insults, classy.
False equivalency. I've got nothing but manuals in the driveway, and I can assure you if I'm going to do something dumb or unsafe while driving the transmission makes no difference.
