I have to say that my ‘73 Buick had some of those ignition and fuel issues when I started driving it but they are pretty easy to update these days. It now has EFI and electronically controlled ignition that has been very reliable for 15+ years.

Where I am FB is blocked by the corp firewall, so anything FB video is an immediate fail.

Wow, Grand Torino Convertible will be a sweet ride! Definitely resurrect that beast!

Is that the diesel model?

Thanks! They are family heirlooms - the MG is a ‘54 my mother bought in 1968 and dad repainted in the late 70's. It was passed down to me a few years ago when Dad couldn’t maintain it or drive it safely anymore. It’s basically bone stock.

They always underrate the actual output, so overrating the torque distribution makes up for it.

It’s really not that hard. The toughest part is either reversing out of a parking space or a hill start... I think the parking space is the most complicated maneuver.

My B is long gone, but I’ve got two extra cars and I plan on keeping both for a long time. At least one of them is another MG!

It does have a back seat! It was really, really fun to drive even though mine was a massive POS. I know many people who have them today and they are still fun!

I had a 1972 MGB GT as my first car, that color too. We called it the great pumpkin! It had a bit of a game to play - you had to guess if the clutch cylinder had lost it’s fluid or not. So step 1 - make sure the car is in Neutral or there is nothing in front of you! Step 2, start the engine. Step 3, try to put it in…

Remember that this is also an industry where they may shut a plant down for several months to retool for new models. You don’t want your entire supply of cars to dry up because you are trying to reconfigure a plant for the next model.

The Cherokee is not a good representation of a crossover. It’s just a crappy vehicle all around.

That’s all well and good if you aren’t that tall. But if you need to slide the front seats all the way back, a small car doesn’t cut it.

Yup.

I had an ‘84 Olds Omega (well after high school), basically the Skylark’s brother. For a bonus it was MT. For a minus it had the weirdest gear spread a 4 speed MT could ever have. The engine was going a bit too fast in 3rd for around town, but way to slow in 4th to have any power. It was like it should have been a 5…

Man oh man I can’t stand articles like that. “According to a source familiar with the matter” There is no basis for these numbers without actually seeing the numbers.

My 12 year old daughter is obsessed woth pop music and the people around it, so she loves hearing their blah blah blah. Yeah, not for me.

Although their track record isn’t great overall, their minivan is their bread and butter and they know it - so I’m expecting them to put everything into making sure the Pacifica knocks it out of the park. There are an awful lot of old town and country minivans still bombing around. So far it seems like they are doing…

Somewhere I read that the new Pacifica hybrid’s powertrain was part of a joint development project with FCA and GM. And that’s why it is so similar to the Volt’s drivetrain, which I love. I’m very interested in getting my hands on one of these.

I’m all worried about why people are standing so close, really. The force those little shards fly off with is quite impressive, really. Enough so that you don’t want to stand that close to the thing!
