I have to wonder what percentage of total manufacturer loyalty can be attributed to the GM Family First vehicle discount.  That program stretches out beyond immediate family to nephews and nieces.

I’m digging it. I like the wrap and the white-walls, gives it an old school hot rod feel and given that design this was a throwback to the first gen T-Bird, I think it works. What I don’t like is the two-tone interior - no dice. If the interior were all red or all black, I’d be fully drawn to the vehicle. Here in

High Impact ‘Cuda

Or the Cox 1/32 Porsche slot car these guys were racing..

Sadly, it what today’s market wants. White or fifty shades of grey. Even though trends tend to recycle themselves, I don’t think we’re going to see the eye-popping pastels of the 50's ever again.

To quote the character Slavo from one of my favourite Mathew Vaughan movies “Layer Cake”, don’t piss in my pocket and tell me it’s raining.

Oh contraire mon frère. I think you’re describing the blandness of either the Tesla 3 or upcoming Tesla Y. Each one those possesses front ends that are so generic that you could park either one in the front of my local grocery store and you’d think the moved the no-name brand boxes outside.

No Shaker, no deal.  Shaker looks amazing from behind the steering wheel.

Another former GT-350 Owner here. Voodoo is all top end and it scoots once it kicks in. Exhaust note is glorious and unmatched domestically. With that said, the Voodoo will also rattle your fillings loose from bottom to top.

Trumpism is not going away, it never will. The love affair with Ronald Reagan among Repugnicans remains alive and well today and it’s been 33 years since he left office and a decade since he left our world. Had Fox’s News and their talking heads existed back in the 80's, Reagan would still be POTUS and running the

If you’re going to ride like an asshat, you reap what you sow.

Next we’ll hear that Trump will ship Don Jr. out to Alaska next year to go after Murkowski’s seat in the Senate as part of his grand plan to inflict revenge on both the country and those GOP senators who voted to impeach him.

Does not qualify as a date, but a nice story never the less. Two years ago my wife and I picked up a new C7. On weekends we take it for a long drive and usually end up in a small town where we’ll park it and get out and stretch our legs. We were headed back to the car after going through few local shops when I

You can’t register as an IROC owner unless you have a mullet.  I don’t write the rules.

But it did make 385 lb-ft of torque at 1600 RPM.  Which made for some great burnouts thirty years ago - comparing it to other vehicles that were available in that era.

Just looked at an old video of my kids from the late 90's. Yup, we had a second gen as well...and the trike.

And I can pick up a knife and grip it by the blade as I’ve never seen a warning on the blade not to do so, but common sense would dictate otherwise.

Nobody cabovers like the Blue Mule.
