The Black Keys - Rubber Factory. On a sweltering summer day, when you can see the heat rising from the pavement, I'll have nothing else on the stereo. Something about distorted guitar throughout this album just works for a 100 degree day when you're tearing across the barren midwest with the windows down. It's…

Nice. Even more than the Nash, a '57 Lincoln Premiere seems pretty noir to me. Particularly this example.

How does a post mentioning Hudsons, the Traction Avant, and a woman who was rightly voted as the "Sexiest Babe of Indie Rock" have fewer comments than one about Consumer Reports and baby seats?

I was torn between Charger and Hornet. Ultimately I went Charger because I actually think the '49 Super Six is cooler than the Hornet. Sure, it's slower with just the one carb, but it looks much better, and more noir.

Nope. But I have had an old German man yell at me. You have my sympathies. Irascible people, those teutons.

Snep: Rats. You're right. Okay, so the NSX was the first car sold in 'Murica with VTEC. And that counts for something. Right?

usa1: I can see the XLR, Ford GT, and GT500 being collectible, but the 'Vette? It may not be "high volume, cheap looking, and underpowered," but two out of three ain't bad. Or, in this case, it is bad. The ZR-1, Z06, and various limited edition cars, sure, I can see them being really valuable, but the regular old…

While I agree the Viper will probably be an auction darling, I think some of you are selling the NSX short. It's relatively rare and has some historical significance (Honda's first use of VTEC in a production car, plus it was the car of choice for Winston Wolf AND Valerie Malone). Sure, a lot of those kids rolling…

Hot damn! More orange cars! That makes me happy.

God I hope so. The thought of the new V8 M3 in orange makes my pants tight.

"That article makes me want to buy a Shelby 500 Mustang and start smoking tires."

Or Ssangyong. Whatevs.

I'm torn. Just when Lieberman had me thinking that we have it better over on this side of the pond than they do in Blighty, something like this comes along, and makes me want to hop on the next plane to Britain.

Oh, are some of you being serious? In that case...

Sure, yamabushi, you can cut your springs with a hacksaw, IF you want to spend your hard earned money renting a spring compressor from Pep Boys while you're there picking up neon washer nozzles and a fart pipe. But the true budget-minded mod enthusiast uses the following method (which I've honest to goodness seen…

Ooh, obscure Mopars! As someone who lived in Cincinnati for five years, I'd be remiss if I didn't represent the 1968 Bengal Charger.

You're right I'm pissed, Davey G! "Not in the budget" they say! I miss that car, too. I was running nitrous in that Merc back when Vin Diesel and his ilk were still in short pants. Freakin' amateurs.

I'm now officially bored with '69 Camaros (for the reasons prplhaze mentioned), and any B-Body Mopars that have paint schemes naming them after Civil War-era military leaders.
