I mean, 49 cars between 12 writers!? Who are these weirdos I work with?

About the transmission cooler...

Sadly I have not gotten there yet.

I have one of those: you open the air cap and it basically inflates itself. Open the cap, roll it up tightly to force out the air, close the cap, and hey presto - easy storage! Good stuff, and more comfortable than they look.

I’d like to build something similar for carrying a motorcycle or two (+ myself) to vintage events. The Mom’s Attic portion could house a small inverter generator in a sound-dampening and cross-ventilated enclosure, along with some aux batteries down at floor level. (There’s a weight limit in the Attic.) Bed =

Part of me now wants to make a bad copy of the plate on my own perfectly-legal, registered vehicle and then use it to cover up the genuine plate.

I can’t imagine racing at 160+mph on the tires they had back then. Those guys had big brass spheres, and no mistake.

Frankly I would rather have one based on a Beetle. Ironically, that would allow more performance options: a 2.0-liter type I engine can make more than enough power for something like this.

Hilly highway? Better wear a helmet.

Up next: parking in all the spots in order.

The Svart is not a lightweight

Briggs and Stratton motor!!! (gotta be period appropriate)

Maybe you could get a junkyard 4.0 to bolt up to drive it home?

On April 2, 2021, it was reported that DMX had suffered a heart attack

A Challenger appears...

As CR notes, there are many things that Tesla could’ve done differently to make this impossible. Those measure would include adding a seat sensor

And look at these two British Ford Prefects, one with a Ford Pinto motor and one with the original 1.2-liter side-valve engine.

I suspect a number of car manufacturers are engaging in this same sort of nickel-and-diming, not bothering to include some basic safety and/or repair equipment with their cars.

And on top of that, seeing as how it has no nose

NASCAR literally encourages shit like this.
