Upstate is anything north of 125th Street. I say that as someone who’s lived where most of my field trips were in Quebec, and also where 125th Street was my subway stop. You can live in Mount Vernon and be upstate, or Syracuse and be upstate, just as you can live in Biloxi or Coeur D’Alene, and still live in the USA.…

It’s retro like a Mini or New Beetle, like if you squint and don't really know what the original looked like. I’ve never owned anything newer than an ‘83, but I had a couple of ‘67s and more seventies bikes than you can shake a feeler gauge at.

These should go out the door with all-caps KAWASAKI badges. I guess you can get em as accessories, but if you're really bringing back the old days and you already ruled out dual shocks, chrome fenders and 2 into 2 chrome megaphones, all-cap badges is the least you can do.

Facel Vega. Might have to be a little ratty at that price, but it'll make you feel like Sinatra.

My old BMW smoked like crazy on startup if I parked it on the side stand, but not on the center stand. People should just stop parking their Subarus on the side stand.

Clothespin, playing card, problem solved.

Most Americans will tell you they buy big cars because they're scared to share the road with all the other big cars and HUGE trucks if they aren't in something big themselves. It's an arms race, and it's sad.

I guess you would never ride a motorcycle.

Granted it's a little different now, a 40 year old car that's been taken care of will stay with traffic on the highway, keep you warm in the winter and maybe cool in the summer (we weren't an AC family growing up and I didn't have working AC in a car of my own until I was 36). But when I was born, a 40 year old car…

If your car REALLY needs 91, then it can be cheaper than 87 because replacing holed pistons will close the price gap in a hurry.

My first car was an RX-4, and granted, it was shot when I bought it, but in my experience, if it stalled while it was cold, it was done for at least an hour.

If you put Genesee Cream Ale in a transmission, it will make itself lifetime fluid...it's just that the lifetime will be about 40 miles.

They’re just huge sedans without trunk lids.

Fix It Again Tony Anyway

I'd ask how but I don't think I want to know.

Great old Steve Martin bit: "hey, sorry if I'm a little off, but I am SO HIGH right now! My doctor gave me these great pills! They're called 'PlaCeBos!'"

That’s not a myth! YOU should get rid of your car at 100,000 miles so I can have something cheap to drive.

He didn't say anything about connecting them.

And may have been the reason the transmission died at 60,000?

You’re not Billy Gibbons by any chance, are you?
