Am I the friend you are referring to? Because I am pretty sure I had your car up in the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy north end (think Nunavut) that one time...

You haven't watched Ricky Rudd's pedal cam, have you?

Glad to see this getting some press here on Jalop. I never met Thomas, but remember his car from an event I attended last fall. It always sucks to lose someone in the local car scene.

Will toss a donation to the family 'round payday.

+1, and add to that watching (if you've got Netflix) the documentary Muscle Shoals. It's the story of a town in Alabama, some rock and roll, some soul music, and...well, just watch the damn thing. They talk about it.

Who can argue with $1.99 for a 4-pack of tallboys?

Not me. Ever.

I drank nothing but Red Dog in college. Best decision of my life.

Totally late response, but Extra Gold has totally made it east of the Mississippi. I know this, because a case was given to me as a housewarming present 9 years ago, and it was so bad that I couldn't even pass it off as house beer to partygoers. I live in Cleveland.

I believe Ford's Panther platform was the last group of cars to feature cornering lights. I've got to admit, even though I own this (and a Grand Marquis for a daily), I never really notice them...

Both of these cars were looking and sounding great at Mid-Ohio this past weekend. Coming off of turn #2 (the 'keyhole' turn) on that long back stretch, they were just ATTACKING the track. I think Kendall had some mechanical issues, though. I was walking to the car to get my cooler and when I came back, he was off.

Side…

I was surprised too, when I showed up at Mid-Ohio for the Nationwide Series race and found them running multi-class T/A. It was awesome!

What about the Hot Rod Power Tour? World's largest traveling car show...

YES, YES, ohmygod YES. Such a dumb looking yet beautiful front end, such a great looking car from all aspects. And the dash is straight-up sexy with the gauge pack.

...........don't tell me you'd actually try to use a dinky 3/8" drive setup to remove an old suspension bolt installed by some Irishman in the UK decades before, instead of using a breaker bar or a 1/2" ratchet with a piece of heavy-duty pipe slipped over it?

I look like a fat Lt. Dangle (the short-shorts cop from Reno! 911).

This is what people talk about? Like...seriously?

I don't know how the Cleveland Heights PD didn't make this list. Green on the sides, white on top, black bumper covers. What in the actual fuck.

My parents bought a 1981 Coupe DeVille in '87, and kept it through around '01. The V-8-6-4 was finicky in 6-cylinder mode only but never gave us any problems. We towed our Coleman pop-up with it. All I remember was the check engine light always being on, and that it made the worst ticking noise under hard acceleration.

Serpico is such a great movie, and it'll suck not being able to watch it on Netflix.

Thanks for including the Marauder on the list, but that's a Crown Vic in the picture (albeit a very NICE Crown Vic).

Pro tip: get a NEXUS card. $50, valid for five years, and in the year since I've had mine, I've never been asked anything other than minimally-invasive questions at any crossing (either in the NEXUS lane, or in the regular lane in the middle of the night). Absolutely worth it if you cross frequently.
