The answer is to daily classic cars. If we stop buying new cars, there will be a heckuva lot fewer carbon emissions total. Sure, there might be more smog in a few places, but as a whole, there will be fewer. And a decrease in the number of grey jellybeans on the road would be nice.

Too Canadian.

Most of those just sound like they would make good band names. Especially “Galataurus”.

That actually seems more appropriate in this case.

Well, I suppose if you were a really good fabricator you could extend the roof easily enough, but adding two more doors... That’s hard. Probably the easiest solution if you want something like that is just buy a Dodge Magnum.

I had been hoping for something a little more like this:

The Telluride has a 3.8-liter 290 hp v6. Not bad, but the Stinger V6 or Borrego V8 would probably be better. I think the main challenge of making a Korean restomod isn’t so much with finding an engine, though, but with finding an old enough Kia or Hyundai that’s still mostly in one piece. They’re not exactly known for…

AAAARRRGGGHH!!! I hate this. I hate it when I find people leaning or sitting on my Thunderbird, or any car that’s not theirs. Just because it’s big and convenient doesn’t mean it’s a freaking bench! My Thunderbird’s nowhere near as pristine as the ones that reporter sat on, but still! Thou shalt not mess with thy…

My band name will be “Pedestrian-Snorting Mega Snout”. All of the music videos and album covers will prominently feature brand-new BMWs ;)

I think the wide kidney grilles resemble a bushy mustache. I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, though. Nothing says high-class like a big, bushy mustache. Bushy mustache beats pedestrian-snorting mega snout any day.

Well, I know the Kia Borrego had a V8 with around 328 horsepower if my memory serves me correctly. Best part is that it’s a rather dull SUV, so you could probably find one for pretty cheap. And while 328 horsepower isn’t exactly a ton by modern standards, it’d be plenty for a much older car. I’ve been imagining an…

Man, if I had a nickle for every time I tried to leave a comment only to accidentally comment on a completely different article, I’d have ten cents. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s dumb that Kinja makes stuff like that entirely possible.

Holy mole, that guy is like the Chuck Norris of motorcyclists.

Step one: buy a blue and white Ford Anglia.

I’d say it’s okay ONLY if you actually legitimately know how to pop the thing back in. If you just think you know how it goes together or think you can figure it out, that’s not good enough and you should leave it alone and leave a note if you can. Like, if you owned one of the same car and knew how to pop the thing…

Eh, I still think hot rods are fine. Though it is way more fun to see ones that are made with more unusual cars and parts, versus the gazillions of similar ones everybody makes. I’ve often thought it’d be fun to make a hot rod with a Kia V8 or something just to watch people’s heads explode.

Kinja: [makes videos autoplay]

Yeah... I understand the historical significance of the tri-five Chevys and 32 Fords in the world of hot rods, and I actually do kind of like the styling of the 32 Ford, but I agree that it can get a bit tiring to see boatloads of them at every car show. I do think there is one exception, though. I get excited whenever…

I like classic cars because one of my favorite aspects of cars is the styling, so I gravitate towards the era when designers had more creative freedom with automotive styling. It also helps that cars of that era are really easy to fix and at least in my opinion, cars of that era had more personality. For a long time I…

I am not a boomer. Far from it, in fact. I still think it is an epic car, though.
