The Journey really isn’t that bad. I’m thinking PT Cruiser would be a better replacement.

I’d pay to watch that.

Oh, and my vote for COTD.

Something just slammed hard into the bottom of my desk....

I remember reading “Shelby’s Wildlife” back as a kid and falling completely in lust (which at the time, being 11, I didn’t know what that really meant but...) with everything Cobra and the AC Coupe specifically.

Thank you for this. I’ve been considering making the move to them but then I read this:

“I like the way traditional lights bleed into the woods a bit; the LEDs didn’t do that as much.”

Living where I do, seeing what might be stepping out of the woods is just as important as seeing what is in the road. I’ll stick with my…

Little Trees pine scent. Smells horrible but damn, that will cover just about anything.
Well, except skunk.
NOTHING covers skunk.

I ‘d add to this a spool of primary wire, some crimp-on connectors, crimper, razor knife, shrink wrap with a lighter, continuity light minimum, VA meter is a bonus - sometimes a quick jumper wire is the difference between the lord of darkness and getting home... or in the case of relatively recently for myself... a…

Came here to say just that. Agreed.

As long as it isn’t Cole Trickle...

Thank you for correcting that, for some reason I thought he had more than one. I was wrong.

If only Ricky Craven, Ernie Irvan, Jerry Nadeau, and Fred Lorenzen had done the same thing as Junior. So much talent and now just footnotes in the history of the sport (ok, so Lorenzen is legendary but his quality of life since leaving racing has piss-poor at best). Like him or hate him, having someone with his…

My thought as well. This would not have ended well if it wasn’t for the extinguisher. Rubber burns for a LONG TIME and the fumes are noxious.

In NASCAR, very little. Remember, they only stopped using carbs a few years ago and the rear suspension is based off a Chevy truck suspension from the 70s. While testing does contribute to innovation and initial setups, the main computer is the one behind the wheel.

Yup. Same with those annoying stick figure families. Many times we’ve rolled up to an accident to find the driver sitting on the side of the road away from the vehicle. When we see that, our first concern is shock. One gets out and goes to the driver while the other one takes the time to properly position the unit…

While it might not have been the reason they signs started, we are taught to look for those when responding to MVA with PI.

Not many people have them still, but they are worth noting at the scene. I’d rather be mistaken than miss something. Yes, I’m a first responder.

$4-5k all day long.

This...
This makes me sad:
“The car will mostly be used as to commute, shuttle kids and long journeys to NH/ME.”

STAY THE HELL OUT OF MY STATES, DAMNIT! (That goes double if your license plate is red\white\blue and any part of your home location has the word ‘Shore’ in it).

The Beetle wasn’t made by the Italians from cast off foil wrappers that once were on bottles of vino.

Disney already has one which is probably why they didn’t snag it, so do the Grundermanns (Ocho from Herbie Goes Bananas).

Ironically, about half of the several million rabid ACVW people can’t stand Herbie, the other half point to him as the reason they got into the hobby.

“You may already know that the International Scout is a particularly poor example of craftsmanship, which makes opening one up an especially interesting operation.”

No. They may be a poor example of quality body metal (you know the back story on that, right?) but craftsmanship is something else. Craftsmanship they…

For the record, this was not tweeted by Niki Lauda....
