Oh my God, number seven. I remember that commercial too well from when I was growing up.
Also, I was on set for the filming of number six. The "artist" playing the "music" is a Canadian, I believe. (Sorry.)
Now if only they had a C7 in Forza 4, I could officially officially Immortalize-it!
I (vaguely) remember getting my wisdom teeth taken out three years ago. To be honest what I remember was sitting in the chair and them putting me under; snippets of the dentist office lobby; then fully waking up to find myself at home playing Forza Motorsports 4 (and winning, despite some double vision).
King likes cars, no doubt, but I sometimes wonder how deep his passion for/knowledge of the subject goes.
For instance, the Buick from From a Buick 8 has four portholes on one side of the hood and three on the other (one of several kooky touches on one very weird car). Now is that just a kooky touch? Or did King know…
Y'know, they're 24-ish-year-old Millenials, and those types of people just don't drive.
...Wait, I'm a 24-year-old Millenial...
As the owner of a slant six '71 Valiant, I, too, love/fear Duel.
When I recently showed it to my three roommates, however, they absolutely abhorred it. Why? Probably 'cause none of them drive.
Wait—why smooth out the waterfalls?

My '71 Scamp has these, part of the A01 Light Package option. I thought they were neat, but people unfamiliar with old cars really get a kick out of them when I take them for a drive.
A colleague of mine learned on a '72, and said her family called them "puh-dunks," for the noise they made.
Christ, how did my car end up on this hipster list? Please tell me the fact my Scamp's a '71 makes it exempt or something—?
I think it was this, my first paint-and-glue model kit. Remember Mom picked it out at Superstore even though I already had other unbuilt Level 2 kits sitting at home, and one day the urge to build it just struck me. Still got it! (The urge and the kit, I mean.)
I was a child of the '90s, so I never saw one as nice as in that photo. But lemme just say this was, for me, one of the best arguments for going to grandma's house.
Didn't start out as useless, though. Added strength to an otherwise way-thin roof pillar (and flair, too!).
Headlights that turn with the car, or just turn with the steering wheel seem to be one of the hot new features for luxury cars these days, but Citroen had them on the popular DS back in the 1960s. The first company to debut the technology was the streamlined Czech Tatra back in 1935.
You're both right. Ford built Mustang-destined 351s in Cleveland and Windsor. Enthusiasts call them the 351C and 351W, respectively, but, if I remember correctly, they're generally the same.
I clicked 'Nice Price' but I'd talk the guy down to $10K. I love the Dart (and own a Scamp) but they got to be really special to break that five-figure mark.
Least tasteful part? These colour-keyed bumperettes. Other than that, this thing is drop-dead gorgeous.
Precisely. PETA minus the bullshit ;-)
I've been thinking about a similar register for a while. I saw it as more of a cooperative protecting the interests of historical vehicles: PETA. People for the Ethical Treatment of Automobiles. They would do the same thing the real (er, current?) PETA does for animals but for cars. Minus the bullshit.
