Cabover drivers are like first responders - first to the scene of the crash.

I wouldn’t admit to knowing this fact. But I must admit to Googling it. You are correct, it’s real. But that’s as far as I went. Some things cannot be unseen and I already several memories that haunt me on occasion and I don’t need to add to that playlist.

COTD.  You win, take your star.

Fortunately, here in Ontario, we’re all following mask protocol as directed by the Provincial Government, furthermore we’ve been on a lockdown since December 26. No mask - no entry into any grocery store. Period. Saw a few department type stores lapsing last summer with the odd person walking around unchallenged, but…

Best post I’ve ever read on here.  Sadly, I’m limited to gifting you with one star.

No you don’t. Great engine. However, there are no service parts available for it and even if you did get your hands on some (NOS stored somewhere), there are a bunch of special tools a dealer needs to put that engine together.

Same parking brake handle system as the Fiero.  My shop returned my old Fiero to me by disconnecting the park brake because they couldn't figure it out.  I had to pull the rear wheels and put it back together again.

Not just any exec, but the CEO at the time - Rick Wagoner. Why? He was a Duke University alumni. Is he still around? Nope. Remember that whole Bankruptcy thing back in ‘09? The Blue Devil was steering the bus for about eight years to get there.

You’re right, Bullitt is an awfully boring movie, save for the car chase. If you want to watch Bill Hickman in a better car chase sequence than Bullitt, check out The Seven Ups. You’ll even recognize the vehicle soundtrack as it’s completely borrowed form Bullitt.

Everyone who’s anyone knows that Barry is going to produce the last of the V8's, but it will be in a post apocalyptic world.

And FCA will keep Tesla going by buying up all their emission credits.  Win-win?

“we can’t keep burning fossil fuels forever”

Honda Beat - the second worst POS I’ve ever driven.  The Namco Citroen Pony (circa 1985 Corfu, Greece) was the worst.

I’ll take a Datsun 510 or a first gen Celica.

And the NFL let that POS Mixon get through the draft as well after pulling a Rice.

A neighbour’s buddy works for a large dealer network here in Toronto. Years ago, he showed up with a Toureg Diesel. He threw me the keys and I went for a blast. Thing was a rocket. This should be a fun rig to drive given its heart transplant

Most sobering comment here.

Someone who was at GM Design Staff back in the 80's must have spent a lot of time watching David Hasselhoff and Knight Rider. Must have eventually moved in to the Pontiac Studio which would explain all the buttons on the steering wheels of the Trans Am, Bonneville and Grand Prix.

I used to have an ‘88 Fiero GT. Every time we filled it up, it would read way past “F”. My wife ran out of gas with it once, and I subsequently ran out of gas with it as well. In each of those occasions, the fuel level needle read just above “E”. The fix? I filled the fuel tank to the max, pulled the cluster, took…

I sold my bike three months ago. Too many close calls. I’ve hung up my helmet and have moved to a convertible for that “open air feeling”.  This gadget will not convince me to go back to riding.
