Spring of 1985 I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS396\375. Green mist with black stripes and green top. Green interior. Comp Cam, headers, 850 Holley, 2.5" duals. 4.10 gears. 33k on the clock. Looked just like this.

Agreed. Now they look as hideous as everything else that is current Honda\Toyota\Nissan instead of holy-shit-that-is-really-hideous of the past generations.

I hope so, cuz I’m right there with you.

But sugar is not good, especially in massive quantities, which I believe is the point they might have been trying to make, since they clearly point out the significantly higher quantity of sugar in the muffin - but not the fat difference.

In my neck of the woods (literally), side-by-sides are legal for road operation as long as it isn’t considered a “highway” if you stay to the right of the travel lane... which is ignored by all, no one cares. All year long run-of-the-mill SBS zip up and down the roads by me, suspect how this looks, it could possibly…

I had a ‘79 Volare, 225/904 combo. Like this one, it was also a stripper but mine was a coupe. Wikipedia says different but then doesn’t account for any 225 after ‘76 outside of trucks. I had to go digging on Allpar to make sure I wasn’t suffering old-man syndrome:

FYI, the leaning tower of power came with the A-904 behind it, not the 727. There’s a lot to like about this - under the hood, the fact that it’s a ‘78 so the rust issues with the fenders recall should be fixed, you won’t see another one like it on the road, and show up with it at C&C will draw a crowd.

This. Oh yes, this. I’m so glad I’ve discovered you and your comments :D

Pence’s mother won’t let him come.

Every chance I can get - winter, spring, summer, fall. Ok, so it has no heat (not that the heat doesn’t work, it doesn’t have heat exchangers), wipers that move at the same rate as glaciers, and a 0-60 time slower than it’s 1/4 mile time. All steel, no ‘glass. $$1800 invested including the $1300 to buy the original…

You have seen the results of David’s wrenching, right? You sure you picked the right show as a template? I’m thinking more along the lines of maybe “Night in the Museum.” You know, all this old stuff no one wants shows up at his house, runs around doing bizarre shit in the middle of the night, and the next day no one…

Classic. COTD.

Funny, the 42, 44, and 46RE and RM get a lot of crap, usually because they lose reverse or first gear. Ironic since they are based off the bulletproof 727. Sadly, this is completely preventable. Pretty easy actually. All that is needed is to read the SM and follow the recommended service at time of trans fluid and…

We don’t have fleets up here. The closest rental agency is 200 miles away, law enforcement doesn’t use sedans, they use RAM, Exploders, and Tahoes, utility company uses Colorados. I’ve never seen an EV in the wild, the only Prius I’ve seen have been in the summer and out of state. The closest Honda dealer is 150…

Northern New England.

Like I said, regional. You never see them on the road in my area - no sedans, especially not Accords or Camrys, unless it is a) AWD or b) RWD. You don’t see many RAV4\CR-V\etc either. It’s either domestic or Subaru.

That’s why the Journey continues to sell...

Not every where. 300s and Chargers hold decent value up here compared their competitors when factor in original purchase price, RAMs - even 2nd gens - are neck and neck with F-series, more so if they have a Cummins.

It happens. In my circle of faminly, friends and coworkers, there is not one owner of a Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda (that’s right, Miata goes unanswered), M-B, or BMW. We’ve all had at least one of those brands in the past, but out of the 89 people I tallied up... nope. Interestingly, there are:

3 Journeys
1 Challenger
