Excellent. I'm not paranoid but I always keep fire extinguishers in all my cars. I wouldn't worry. Keep the fuel lines and electrical in good shape and things should be fine.

Well, convoluted story or not it's great to have another classic out and about. It looks to be in pretty good shape. What an awesome find.

Very nice.

Go buy a fire extinguisher, NOW.

The Monte Carlo was raced until 1988. Chevy switched to the Lumina in '89 so I guess it was the late '80's that things went downhill. The early T-Birds were the only Fox based cars run. I give Ford credit for sticking with a RWD car for a lot longer that GM did.

Or this.

That is not true. They actually decrease drag. Read up a little on vehicle aerodynamics.

Lol, they come out like clockwork.

That would be the mid '80's when they allowed "silhouette" cars that looked like showroom cars but were race cars underneath. This was due to the fact that Detroit wasn't producing anything race worthy (RWD, V8) so they allowed FWD cars to race. They just put a FWD body on a real race car and continued to call it a…

Poor case study. Anybody with a spoiler on their car will be driving twice as fast as those with unequipped cars. The pollutants will be far more energized thus dispersing in a similar manner or (better yet) spewing the pollutants on to surrounding bystanders, buildings and country side thus making the world more…

And your pilot qualifications are...?

I'm a pilot and it reads legit to me. Declaring an emergency isn't the end of the world and unless there are injuries, property damage or regulation violations this won't get a report filed by any agency. You can bet the company will write up something but that is entirely different. That was sound decision making on…

Uh, yeah.

The brilliance of all this is that car seats are so over-sized that no more than two can fit in the back seat of virtually any car. The greenies have diverging goals. You can't make the cars so safe that no one ever gets injured AND make them so fuel efficient that they use nearly zero fuel. CAFE is demanding that…

That is the truth. I would nominate you for the head of one of those agencies if I wasn't advocating their total de-funding.

Well I'm late to the party here but many thanks to Scott for answering some questions. I enjoyed it. Also, a big thanks to Ray for running with the story and putting Scott on Jalopnik. He seems to be a true Jalop at heart.

Oh yeah that rocks. Give me some good, American horsepower. Ok, I have a fair amount of that horsepower but it never hurts to have more. Especially in a package like that.

There is a difference between nuclear radiation and electromagnetic radiation. The nuclear type has no effect on electronics. If robots had problems at the plant it was due to electromagnetic radiation from the power generators or the transmission lines. HERF (High-energy radio frequency) from power lines can cause…
