But, no one is comparing a stock muscle car from that era to cars of today because that’s idiotic. And the fun of owning one today is that they’re 50+ years and don’t drive like a modern car. They actually are a blast to drive because they suck.

Yeah, I can live with it. It does just take some getting used to.
You’re probably right.
I just bought a ‘21 GLI 6-speed and it’s a terrific car. Thanks VW for still offering it to us. I like me a good sporty sedan with a stick and this is last affordable one left. It’s not perfect. I wish it got the GTI’s seats. The gears are a little long and the rev hang is annoying. But, it’s a brand new car with a…
It’s only got 10 horsepower, so you never really drive it fast. But, the Messerschmitt Kabinenroller is the funnest car I’ve ever driven period. It has the most direct steering ever put in a vehicle, handles surprisingly well, and 2omph feels like 200.
I think when Trebek was host, they’d shoot like two days a month, so commuting is not that big a deal.
Strange things indeed are afoot at the Circle-K.
One of the best looking cars ever built. There’s a rare stateside one near me and it warms my cockles every time I see it.
Rev hang seems to be an unavoidable affliction in modern manuals. At least in affordable cars. I love my 6 speed GLI. Except for the rev hang.
Well, you sound like a giant cunt, so I guess I’m not surprised you like driving a battleship. What a fucking waste you both are.
Why do they mystify you? Big cars and trucks are a pain in the ass. Bigger is not better. You’ve been brainwashed.
Rampage. It’s a great name, and with the Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz on the way, why not an even smaller truck/ute as a competitor? It would work as a hybrid, and the all electric version could be the Rampage Amperage.
They said “just about all.” And the truth is, they weren’t just about all crap. The reputation is worse than the reality. Cars were simpler so there really wasn’t as much to go wrong. You could make an early 70's Ford LTD, for example, run forever. Same for a lot of other cars from that era. Besides the Vega, there…
Counterpoint: it looks f-ing terrible. What is with that side scoop and why is it so goddam big and not a NACA duct? From the front it’s boring. The rear isn’t awful. A huge missed opportunity.
They weren’t. AMC’s were cheap, but they were well made. I had a Gremlin that was unkillable. A lot of American cars from that decade weren’t special, but they were simple cars until emissions regulations complicated things. And you had a few great ones like the earlier Trans Ams and C3 Corvettes. There were a lot of…
The best Countach didn’t have any wings.
Are we going to get the Alfa version? That looks pretty cool for a crossover.
The AMC Hornet was a great car.
He’s actually not bad and I say that as someone who can’t fucking stand Joe Buck. But he’s used to being on live t.v. so this is something that he can do.
Wow. The Crosley and the Studebaker are steals, rust depending. The Crosley does look a little crusty in the sills, but still, those are so hard to find. You’ve got me thinking.
