My brother bought a “cream puff” ‘65 and we found out it had likely not seen more than 2 or 3 oil changes in 10 years - it was sludged up REAL BAD - we blew that one up. I drove mine like I’d stolen them and couldn’t kill ‘em.

It’ll get there fine. However 10 hours of interstate speeds might take the shine off the new relationship.

Yeah.... Contrary to some of the hype surrounding it, the Slant Six can wear out and/or blow up just like any engine. Ref.: been there, threw that rod.

That was my favorite car/movie up until I was like 5... and that’s not knocking it. Despite not watching it for a few decades, it’s still on my fav list. Also, the original Herbie movie too... Despite growing up in the 90's, I watched a lot of 60's movies.

Yeah. Parts washers are cheap. Space to put a parts washer is expensive. I’d do a blasting cabinet first. 

Poppies! Poppies! Poppppiiessssss...........

I think you should edit that headline. The bridge didn’t destroy the cars. The jackass driving the truck did.

If the ground is being pulled up, the craft is being pulled down (Newton’s 3rd law). All the stuff under the car will be pushed down if it’s being pushed at all.

Are corporations (e.g Stellantis) good?

I assume this is on the soundtrack:

Well, a VAG not under warranty....I’ve done it many times. A mistake every time VAG isn’t buying them back at a premium.

But I still do it.

It was a purposeful use of frame rates by the animators. They have Peter and Miles on different frame rates to visually show how out of sync they are with each other, and likely themselves. As Miles learns and improves his frame rate goes up to 24 fps.

I enjoyed the movie. My 5-year old daughter and I started it, she got sad in the middle and stopped watching, and I finished it after she went to sleep.

So, is this guy doing a remake or a reboot? I’m always confused.

At this point, I feel for everyone involved in this, including the police officers. Why the police officers? Because this is a nearly perfect example of the second major problem with policing in America today. Beyond systemic racism/classism that leads many cops to treat like animals the people they are supposed to…

Simple and clean has always been a good look no mater what car

the beard made me think of Egyptian Pharaohs

sadly, few highways are perfectly straight

It didn’t stop Buick from naming the LaCrosse the La Crosse ... which is QC slang for the “The Masturbation” or “the con”

Jah, und?
