Y'know, I appreciate the guy; he was the driving force behind one of my favourite cars, the Lincoln Mark III (and of course, the Mustang).

Damn. Beat me to it. But excellent suggestion.

It's lonely because it's far too diluted with people who do it solely for the swag and privilege, rather than the pure and unbridled passion for cars.

Take a tour of some of Toyota's more exciting days below. I want to go to there.

Exactly. But like I said, majority rules (or ruled I guess) RWD and the internal combustion engine became the standard, for better or worse; anything that tried to break past that was regarded as odd or impractical.

Funny enough, electric vehicles were regarded in a similar light (or bias) as steam-powered vehicles; they were seen as "unconventional" and "unpractical" modes of transportation.

It honestly depends on how you look at it. The car, or automobile, is by definition a vehicle that propels itself without the intervention of something else.

For its time, Nicholas-Joseph Cugnot's Fardier was totally bizarre. It was a big, ungainly three-wheeler. Propulsion was by a steam-fed piston-and-ratchet arrangement with the steam kettle hanging off the front. Handling balance was terrible, and reported reliability makes mid-Seventies Lucas components look great in

I can definitely relate to that as well. In my first year of college I got myself a fully-loaded 2000 Impala LS, since I've always liked those cars and wanted one (I know, it's just a Chevy, not anything exotic) - but also because everyone I knew who had one kept on running trouble-free into the 500K range, so I

I agree, Cadillac would of been in a different (and perhaps better) place right now if the Sixteen was put into production.

Every time I see that front, I always think Jaguar Mark II... and I love it.

:D!

Meh; matter of perspective I guess; me, I'm a sucker for outlandish, low-slung, long-ass super cars, wheel gap included. It's why I always think back to the Jag XJ220 when I see this car.

Indeed, it still looks amazing today; I see the Sixteen concept for Cadillac as the first real game changer they had in decades, because every modern Caddie has gone back to it somehow in terms of design and styling inspiration.

Same! I even attached pipes once to my bmx because I wanted the same dual exhausts as Goose's bike haha, aw man being 13 again.

That is really cool, I love this movie and prob watched it few times by now and I never really noticed that. Neat observation!

Good you mentioned the Sixteen; I was gonna say it also appeared in the movie Click.

Excellent choice. The Pursuit Special will always hold a special place in my heart.
