You all have neglected the quintessential American car. The car that most non-car people can recognize: the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air, or ‘57 Chevy.

To answer your question succinctly, no. Especially these days (in America at least) you’d be hard pressed to find a car that’s not bare-bones and has sub-150 hp. In a relatively light car, that’s all the power one would need to accelerate and hold highway speed effectively.

It’s gonna be a shame when this thing goes for high six-figures. Now the guys with ‘67 GTs in Highland Green with the 390/4-speed are gonna start thinking that their cars in similar cosmetic condition are worth thousands more. They already think their specific-coded shells are worth 20-30k.

Profits from America and worldwide would be sent back to headquarters and redistributed as the company saw fit. Just like every other company. I used the example of Toyota, since I think they (and their fellow countrymen) are doing the best job of creating a global economy. I can use a not-so-good example of…

Car sauce is oil. Gas is an ingredient for the car dish, but is flambe’d out. 

I, personally, care very much about where my vehicles were/are built and where the company itself is located.

I think the analogy would work if it didn’t take so much infrastructure to churn out more product in the auto industry. Ford has one dedicated plant, Dearborn Truck, for F-150 and two more supporting plants, in Kentucky and Kansas City, for all of the ‘light-duty’ F-series trucks. These plants are massive. They also…

Let’s just run this down on things that could be screwed due to this unfortunate event.

This seems like a Black Mirror episode in the making.

A big cause of death wobble is the combination of coil springs and a solid axle. Coils need to be constrained to only move up and down since they don’t have inherent lateral stability. Track bars are used to keep the axle in place beneath the vehicle. When those bushings wear out, the axle has more room to move, hence…

I don’t know if it’s a majority, but much larger number now than 20 years ago.

The S90 is the best suggestion of the four. That car is a beautiful example of exterior and interior design, also the T6 is a mild marvel of engineering. A truly special car.

This is really what I’m meaning. A common trip for most people in Tuscaloosa would not be possible right now, and this is based off of a Nissan Leaf’s range, right around 100 miles. “Rent a car,” you’ll say. But that’s a hassle, and if we’re really gung-ho about fixing climate that’s a no bueno decision to take a…

I’m guessing you’re somewhere out west, in an urban area? I’m in Alabama, and the state is not too keen on changing the status quo on most things, EVs included. I have seen only two charging stations in this state and they were in a parking garage at the University of Alabama.

I dig Black Mirror because of their often vague and era-less settings in episodes. That city could have really been anywhere, and the time could have been now, the future or recent past. One main character drove a ‘66 or ‘67 Mustang GT, the other drove the last gen Corolla.

There was an ‘84 Sunny for sale from one of the Japanese importers for $12k. White, 4 cyl., 4 speed, crank windows, and it was tiny.

The ‘66 Le Mans victory was Shelby’s project, though. It doesn’t seem like the movie is trying to tell the whole story of the GT40 project, just the, “Hey, let’s win Le Mans,” part. It is a shame that there will probably not be mention of Holman-Moody, or that a significant amount of cars entered in the race were…

The answer, I believe, is very subjective. Luxury is more of a perception than a tangible quality.

Can we just get this with the SVO moniker and quit screwing around?

Quick, someone make a Calvin urinating on a Kohl’s logo!
