For one second? This one.

Yeah, but you don't even have to slow down to flash your lights at another moving car.
Only get spare wheels once in your life? From 1987 to 1994, I went from a VW with 15s to a VW with 14s to a Mercury with 14s to an Oldsmobile with 15s to a VW with 13s to a Cadillac with 15s to a Dodge with 15s. Not even keeping track of the lug patterns. Which wheels do you recommend?
Well, I guess that leaves me off the hook! I am a dirt poor loser with a history of totally shit cars. It's always been my philosophy that when the cords start showing, you get traction from all those little broken wires sticking out.
I had a '65 Caddy Calais that had power windows, Auto Dimmer and cruise but not AC or remote trunk release. I sometimes saw Cadillacs in junkyards that had crank windows. Those were the days of a la carte options, for sure. Meanwhile, now I have an '89 Econoline RV that has vent windows. I don't think they did much…
If I can’t roll an old British twin into the bed and close the tailgate, it’s not a truck to me. And I’m not sure I’ve paid $18.5k for all the cars & trucks I’ve bought in 36 years. Guess I’ll hold out for an LS swapped Hudson.
Seeing this at an emotional time...I found out last week that an old friend had died almost a month ago. He had one of these and put a 400 small block in it. He raced and DD’d it until he blew the rear end out, once got a ticket doing 140 on an empty interstate. Later he built a Caprice wagon with a Z28 engine and a…
Yeah, the hole is too far left for a head hit...
My current bike is a ‘72 Yamaha CS5; I don’t know the weight of this bike, but I bought the Yamaha because at about 270 pounds wet, it’s easy to get onto a hitch rack and does minimum damage to my RV’s handling. Also, for a 200, it’s surprisingly quick. But it's a 2 stroke that can’t crack 40 mpg, so replacing it with…
The old playing card and clothespin against the spokes is just as effective as ever.
This is why everybody should be riding Bultaco Metrallas.
Never mind the bollocks.
I’ve been driving on the left in a right-hand-drive car this week for the first time, in Antigua...the roads are very narrow and I try to hang left to keep away from oncoming traffic, and I find myself rubbing tires on the curb (or tyres on the kerb). When I drove forklifts, my strategy was always to drive as close as…
I’m sure the stigma comes from the early C4s that had no balls. In ‘92 I was going with a girl who had a brand new Z28, and she got in a race with a C4. She was beating him, till she didn’t quite run a red light...the ‘92 Z28 had 225 HP. I figured if the Vette was an ‘84, the math worked out. Even the 300 in this one…
Much the same way hearing Beethoven 5 always transports me back to that magical summer of 1808...
Not just “preferably;” the 2nd gen was a foot longer, 600 pounds heavier, and needs a waiver to get into a small car argument. Killing the first generation after only three years was the biggest mistake I know of that Toyota has made.
I had 2. I often call it the perfect car.
My mom had a Fit, I had two original xBs. I prefer the Scion.
Anyone who doesn't like kids just hasn't had them cooked right.
My folks carted my sisters and me around Maine, very rural upstate New York, and far-northeastern Vermont mostly in Beetles and Corollas through most of the ‘70s.
