Lowest I've seen near me (eastern Cleveland 'burbs) is $2.80/gallon.

If we're talking about Cordobas and Cougars and big ol' Malaisa-era cars, do we really care about center of gravity or any of that?
No.
We want good power and a righteous sound and THE RIGHT GODDAMN MOTOR UNDER THE HOOD.
:D
Yeah, blah blah blah cheap power.
Yeah, it's so easy that a caveman (or my equally old grandma) can do it.
Yeah, they're pretty cool sometimes.
But I cringe at the thought of popping the hood on, say, a '77 Chrysler Cordoba with a swapped motor and seeing anything BUT a late model 5.7L or 6.1L Hemi under there. Or a big…
Haha, thanks, I've never had anyone even remotely suggest that any of my dumb shit is that worthy.
First, they came for the Mercurys, and I did not speak out because I had cloth interior and a spotlight.
Then, they replaced the Town Car with an SUV, and I did not speak out because I was not an airport shuttle.
Then, they replaced Crown Vic taxis with Nissan vans, and I did not speak because I was not a taxi.
Then,…
Gotta disagree with "all LeBarons of this vintage are CP". "Most" would be apropos, but I'd actually consider owning another.
I drove a 1989 hardtop with the 2.5 N/A and a 3-speed autotragic for 4 years through college. It was a remarkable value as far as cars go. During the 4 years I owned it, here are the estimated…
The only song that should be listened to in this car is "Everybody Wants Some" by Van Halen.
I really like what GM did with a couple cans of Plasti-Dip. Recipe for SEMA success!
The 98 car also finished ahead of a lot of drivers who had misfortune earlier in the race. Look at finishing positions 20-43 for the May race - lot of big names there. I think he'll have a similar performance this weekend. He does a good job with the equipment he has, though.
In all seriousness, though: I went to 'Dega in '09 and it was a blast. Out of all the tracks I've been to, it's in the top 2 or 3.
I found the 'after' picture.
Shouldn't be a problem, since he likely won't be anywhere near the contenders.
...that was the best looking Eliminator we could find a picture of?
Ah, I wouldn't remember anyway. There was a ton of newer Camaros.
Better headline?
I had a bunch of crap typed up with that one but I see now that it didn't take. Either way, wasn't trying to one-up ya so much as piggyback on some great racing footage you posted.
I talked to one of the Continental tire reps on the first day at Charlotte. It was his first Tour and he seemed pretty excited. Saw him in Charleston not two days later and he was looking a little bit haggard. Said the setup/teardown/drive/repeat was quite a chore. The heat didn't help.
Hell, the…
