I’d have to start watching rap videos!

I absolutely agree, 100%. I want a Cadillac (as well as a Lincoln) that’s a goal car, something I can work toward, something I’ll be able to buy when I feel that I’ve “made it.” But based off of what they offer now, if I’m going to buy either of those marques, I’m likely to look for around a ‘62 or so. Either a Coupe…

Fair point, but a guy can dream, right? :)

Hooray! Now, Cadillac, if you’re listening, you can become The Standard Of The World with this simple three-step plan:

Forgive me if the joke’s been made, but...

But it’s a car AND a truck! Two for one! :) (seriously though, that’s why I have to get rid of it; I just don’t have the space.) If/when you ever get one, make sure to check inside the “smuggler’s box” (just under the back window at the front of the bed) and the bracing under the bed, because they all seem to rust out…

I apologize if this is out of line, but if you want one of these, I’ve got one I’m willing to let go really cheaply to the right home. ‘76 with a ‘73 nose, 305. Needs a resto, but it’s pretty complete (at least what the rust hasn’t eaten away)...

At what point did I say a 2017 GT-R wasn’t beautiful? I said the angry creases everywhere look is going to look dated. No matter the manufacturer. However, if you took that as an affront to your GT-R, that it may be a mess of creases, that says a lot more about the location of your head than mine. Perhaps you’re a bit…

I absolutely love it. And it looks like a true four door hardtop, with the shoulder belts anchored to the roof instead of a B-pillar.

Abraham wouldn’t give a damn, and take his Cunningham to the Hoover Dam to avoid a traffic jam to eat a rack of lamb with Uncle Sam.

I like this.

Gumball Rally has been nominated already, and I think that’s a great nomination.

I think the ORIGINAL Love Bug is a great story of a man developing a connection to a car. Herbie (Rides Again) (Goes To Monte Carlo) (Goes Bananas) (Fully Loaded) just get progressively worse. The first one holds up, though.

There are very few things I consider myself reasonably knowledgable about; cars and film are two areas where I think I know a fair amount.

Thank you for this explanation, it does really help. I’m just apprehensive that when I’m 65, 70 years old that all petroleum products will be rare enough to be reclassified exclusively for industrial or governmental use. 

I’m horribly paraphrasing here; this was mentioned in a magazine article talking about the original Beetle, and whether or not it was safe. That the Beetle isn’t safe against a full sized Ford, but the Ford isn’t safe against a train, and this was quoted:

I made it 20 seconds in before the shakycam and overediting convinced me this wasn’t worth my time. This Alfa never did anything to deserve this.

I knew these were Volvos that were sold overseas, and just chalked the lack of a grille up to some badge sharing or something. I have never seen that they actually did have one underneath! Thank you! :)

I believe any 3.8L engine is a gallon of displacement. :)

I don’t think he had anything to do with “The Shape Of Water,” did he? (I just did a quick glance at its imdb page) It’s a great movie! Please don’t feel sick! :)
