I’m guessing David Tracy wouldn’t be remotely interested in something like this, but keeping with the aviation (and hopefully lighter) theme, I bet he’d be elated to get his hands on one of these:

I want to upvote the informational value of your post, but somehow feel like I’m upvoting what-happened (even though realistically I wouldn’t be).

If you are referring to the C8 Corvette, subjectively speaking, I think it’s gorgeous, and I welcome the departure from nose-centric Corvettes of the past.

Considering Coyote engines date back to the first Modular V8 engines from roughly 31 years ago, one could argue that at this point the Coyote is historically significant too.

The challenge will be, assuming they can pull this off (and I mean it’s Porsche; you kinda expect that they could, from an engineering point-of-view), when (if ever) could the economies of scale match that of electric power-trains (eh, assuming of course the entire state doesn’t hit the “off” switch during a winter…

Absolutely swear by this. Turns out a dealer secretly was trying to charge me for underbody coating when they had agreed on the price. The difference came out in the payment calculation. Fuckers.

I dunno, 20 percent? 30 percent? The customer still probably walked away with at least 70K, which was enough to buy whatever car they were looking for in cash and have a nice chunk of change leftover. My only regret is that somehow the name of the scumbag dealer isn’t being blasted into the airwaves so others at…

...and people doubted earlier predictions by some (including myself) that we were nearing the end of not just V8s, but ICEs in general.

Which local US police municipality owns that?

I did some rideshare driving at one point and it was always obvious spotting drunks during the after hours.  Seen some scary stuff: people going the wrong way on highways, etc.

For different reasons:

You have a point. I always thought the Firebird was better looking anyway.

Something by Lincoln, maybe?

Well he built a wall!

..and yet, more people preferred the Mustang.

..and yet, people knew all that, and still preferred it over the Camaro.

Sorta reminds me of the G90 they have in the Seoul design studio:

I’ve said it before, but I love your articles Mr McParland.

Do you think you might have Camaro bias? The 95 Mustang not only looked better, but outsold the Camaro by roughly 60,000 cars, which would suggest that there were more buyers who found the Mustang the more attractive of the two.

These things were a dime a dozen in any midwestern city during the 70s up until about mid 80s. My great-grandfather owned a beautiful pine green 1975 Limited, which I think was a step up from the 225. Google search results refer to it as an Electra Limited, but I distinctly remember it not having any reference to…
