Like you, Davey G., I'm used to listening to music that normally doesn't get top 40 or commercial alt-rock airplay. But I could still cheat and throw a bunch of indie tracks on my list, since up until a couple of years ago, Cincinnati had a great independent modern rock station that actually played non-craptastic…

What manner of Toyota is this little orange fastback? Wants it. Wants the precious.

Damn. I thought that first one didn't go through. I'm putting myself on post-whore probation.

My notoriously cheap grandfather always told me that a single drop of dish soap gave the same effect as Water Wetter. As an added bonus, it keeps the inside of your cooling system spot free!

I was always told my my notoriously cheap grandfather that a single drop of dish detergent has the same effect as Water Wetter, but is substantially cheaper. Plus, it keeps your cooling system spot free!

The '79 AMX is another fantasy project car I'd take on if I had unlimited money and time. One of those with a 390 and 4 speed from a late 60's Go Package AMX and the all wheel drive running gear from the similar AMC Eagle would make a hoontastic winter beater.

Remember kids, take heed of the "dispose of old coolant properly" instruction. Most coolant is basically just Ethylene Glycol, which kills dogs, kitty cats, people, and most other mammals. Don't pour that shit out in the storm sewer! See if your auto parts store will recycle it for you. Mine will, because I buy…

Ooh, I'm excited to hear the GTO news! I hope this gets big media airplay and causes them to depreciate even more. Maybe I can pick up a gently used 6-speed model in a couple years for $113, then.

First generation Infiniti Q45

Ooh, I'll second the first-gen DSM triplets. The turbo AWD models are a hoot. But I've never seen one that hasn't aged like an overworked porn actress.

5.0 Stang? Nah. 1990-1994 Ford Thunderbird SC. It was available with a 5 speed, handled an order of magnitude better than the Mustang (with a 10 year newer platform and independent rear suspension, it darn well should have). It's also comfortable and roomy, and the Supercharged 3.8 Liter V-6 may sound uninspiring…

I'm not necessarily a stickler for manufacturer purity, but in a car like an RX-7 that derives its identity from the engine, one that people buy just for the engine, this just seems backwards to me.

Too bad Clint wasn't sponsored by Maker's Mark. I like that better.

But is he taking the lead pipe with him?

Sadly, I don't think they ever made a limo version of the Cadillac Cimarron. Now that might have been able to top this for disgraced luxury.

Yeah, but it's sadly front wheel drive, limiting the hoonery factor. Mazda at least knew where to send the power. That's actually a point in the Prinz's favor as well (even with only two cylinders, fatal oversteer is only a dash of idiocy away).

Meh. The Prinz is for commoners. Give me a Ro80, so I can engage in some stylish Wankel-hoonery.

Does this get filed under "Chysler Suicide Watch" or "GM Death Watch" at TTAC?

Wow, nice article, Cobretti. Since I'm seriously considering building an all-junkyard Megasquirted/turbocharged inline 6 (GMC 292, maybe?) in the near future, I need all the pointers I can get.

$400 for a blown Slant Six! What do you think I am, made of money!? This crazy bastard on [Allpar.com] did it for $300.
