I have, with my own two eyes, have see a "Hurst" special edition of a Regal or something of that body type, not Buick, with a fully finished 4 lever top loader transmission. I wish I knew more, I only saw in it for a second, but it looked damn factory. Crazy options they used to have back in the day.

Wagons, as they become rarer and have more prestige attached to them. They already have a history for having fast varients, being cool, and hauling guns thanks to the Germans and Eastern car manufacturers. Its a cyclic thing i do believe.

If you switched the words "wagon" and "minivan", your sentiment would be the exact opposite of general opinion circa 1994, the reason no one sells wagons anymore. Looks like the wagon is in and the minivan is going out, which makes sense as Dodge just nuked the Caravan and all the other major manufacturers are making…

As someone who has never seen that, I must say, it has to be the best thing I have ever seen. Running Towards Camera Explosion Shot! Slow Motion Bikinis! Inplausible Transformation! Helmet Take Off Hair Swoosh! Incomprehensible World Music Theme Song! Posing! Neon! Hulkster!

Did..... Did you just make that up? I think your forgetting that a half- charged vented battery contains a lot of water, what sulphuric acid turns to as it looses charge and is diluted with, so if your going into winter with a poorly performing battery and hit a cold spell of -20c or so, the battery will freeze. The…

Now, now is the time to publish a real theory of mine. Its about how people always want to have fun, despite any intentions.

All these cars are glorious! Best car video on the internet! 30/10 would smash syncros til gears ground.

I want to buy one and put the engine in a new corvette because Your Face!

My old boss had one, I got to drive it. Now I'm not a great judge of the modern car because most of what I drive is 20 to 25 year old Japanese shitboxes, but holy lord that thing was friggin awesome. More room than a Tahoe or Pathfinder, great visibility, I mean friggin great visibility, loaded, some suprisingly high…

How do old-timey cars (and planes) with exposed rocker arms not wear themselves out like instantly? How do the valve guides not bore out instantly? Is extreme wear the reason these needed so much maintenance is needed on the valve train?

Lol, its pretty simple actually. Each gear is actually a wet clutch, having multiple layers of friction material and gripping materials. The shaft spins through the center of the gear/clutch. When that gear is engaged the clutch/brake either engages the center shaft to the outer shaft, changing the ratio (clutch…

17 dolla.

do you live in Calgary? There can't be too many people with 2 M-B, one of which is a fintail. Or too many people with fintails. Or fintails. Seriously I can't even find one for sale.

turbo z33's? Yes, I would assume that would be impossible to find unmodified. Very impossible.

Man I hate to go there but since you put it so clearly:

Is the interior any larger to accommodate taller people from the previous model?

And yet, and yet anything with over 5 liters of displacement and twice the size of what you need is "American". I can't hit 2 articles in a row on Jalopnik without the idea of some big, ridiculous gas-guzzling soccer mom mobile being more American than the more practical, smaller cars, even when their both produced by…

I'm in Canada(Calgary) and you can't find one to test drive, I couldn't since they came out; I doubt your gonna get one for a deal. Small stick-equipped cars with good power at a deal price go quick. I can't find any new WRXs or Stis either. Canada's got good taste eh?

Stick shifts, no rollcages or helmets, little mimsy bimsy steering wheel, bald heads, maturity, tin can doors, hard revving normal sounding engines, thin-ass goddamn tires. Damn racing what happened? You used to be cool.

Danger Will Robinison Danger! The thing that squeaks when you release the clutch may be the throwout bearing going.
