I got a neato spark plug wire tester from my dad. He also got me a multimeter with an AC voltage detector because I get electrical gremlins in my cars and my house.

I'm 31, so I need to go back to 1950. I don't mind driving old cars at all, and I firmly believe that if you drive anything regularly it will eventually start feeling natural, like any other car. But I don't DD old cars out of concern for the cars, rather than concern for myself. My commute is all city driving, and I…
Does your Camaro have disc breaks? I've driven my old muscle in rush hour traffic, and for me the most stressful thing is knowing what kid of gas mileage I'm getting. I know it's not the best handling car on the road, but I'm not convinced it's worse than a 10 year old truck or something.
I have a '72 Dodge Charger and have been to some Mopar events. I've met some women who are there with their husbands, but I never see any gals there on their own. It is great to have a supportive enthusiast community, regardless of gender, though!
Fun! I liked your FB page. I'm always searching for other women who are into classic cars. I know there's got to be more of us out there!
LOL is about right. But... Worth. Every. Penny.
As others have said, it's not the snow, it's the salt. Right now the roads are encrusted in a thick coating of the stuff. So my '72 Charger is safely stored away. I don't think I've ever met a classic car that was driven in Minnesota winters. They all either originated in other states or were garaged winters since…
I kind of want one of these as a winter toy. Except if found one that wasn't rusted away I'd feel bad getting road salt all over it.
Aww, thanks!
It's a little buggy with galleries. Try taking the "/gallery/1" off the end of the URL, then it works better.
I have never owned a car that didn't complain when I left the lights on. So far I've only done it once. It's not a daily driver, but I do drive it 3 or 4 times a week when it's not snowy. I try to be diligent about checking. There was a headlight indicator available as a factory option, so I might try to see if I can…
Wow, it's super weird to see my car under the Jalopnik masthead! I'm very honored to have my review considered insanely great, especially considering I took cold medicine, wrote it up, and went to bed. I really enjoyed reading everyone's reviews, too.
Dat ass.

This review is of my 1972 Dodge Charger. I bought it last July, so we’re still in the honeymoon phase and I’m naturally going to be a bit biased. It’s a 162k mile numbers matching survivor car. It still has the original paint, even. It’s got the 400 c.i.d. engine with a 4bbl carb and dual exhaust. It’s my baby and…
Besides, push button automatic transmissions aren't a new thing.
Big Green Charger seconds this.
I would rather to call it a Cornet, seeing as it has 4 doors.
That grill/bumper kind of reminds me of a 1971 Roadrunner for some reason...
Really? I lived with Mitsubishi 3.0L V6 engines for the first 10 years of my driving life and I loved them. The worst thing that ever happened was a leaky front seal. They were easy to work on and relatively peppy for the time. The Chrysler 4 speed automatic transmissions were another story, but I only have good…
