Are you sure this historic vehicle organization doesn’t already support the same guidelines in the case of a traditional engine swap? I interpret it to be them expanding their guidelines to electric cars.

Yeah, the whole “angry indignant” tone is off here.  It’s a sensible recommendation...

Yeah, I think Mack’s new job is getting to him.

Hurray! Someone else (and I also do restos + mark + label parts) that gets it! I couldn’t figure the anger. When you sell off your electric E type project 10 years from now, If I can find the left side motor mount + carb mounting bracket (and the 100's of other stupid special parts) it makes my life sooo much easier…

Their statement is perfectly reasonable: what may today be a crappy worthless old car can be, in the future, a very rare historic and cultural document.

Nahh, I can see their point, to be honest.

A press release that encourages classic car modifiers to save the old parts leaves Mack clutching his pearls? Oh the audacity of a classic car owners club to suggest the parts be labelled!

Um...what you quoted simply addresses a recommendation that people who convert to EV keep their old parts safe and well-labelled.

I just had the Jaws of bathroom breaks.

I understand. This morning I made the Citizen Kane of toast!

Sometimes I feel like cars that “don’t need a lot of maintenance” are just actually better at hiding how broken they are from their oblivious owners.

Can we retire this joke with the tire pressure and lambo one?

So you can apparently see better when you’re backing up than when you’re moving forwards.

No interior shots and it’s been lowered with a loud exhaust and 114K on the clock?

Deep breaths there buddy.

All the bad asses in the avclub comment section TOTALLY would though. 

Not everyone wants or needs to mount $400+ PSSs on their daily drivers.

These aren’t Walmart tires, Sumitomo makes some really solid tires.

“if you buy off-brand shit tires “

ok so please tell tirerack they don’t know what they are talking about mr stig as this is just a dumb take
