I must be in the minority of liking the one year only 1958 front end more than the previous. The rear, however is just horrible.

No problem. If you have three packages it doesn’t really save any time. But if you have a pile as I often do, it helps. People get mad when I stand in line with a massive stack of packages until I drop them on the counter, they scan the form, hand me a receipt a few seconds later, and I walk out. I wouldn’t want to…

I’m a full time online retailer so I’ll shed a little light on the label being created as your only update. You can make a commercial USPS label whenever you want and it is up to the sender when it goes out. The date on the label is obviously the same. If he is shipping something like posters, the packaging and poster…

I know of a guy who is nearly thirty, plays a music gig at a Mexican place once a week, writes hippie songs about life being an incredible gift, happiness, positivity and such, has released four studio albums that nobody bought, does massage part time and still shops at Whole Foods, drives a GTI, and lives in a higher…

He was selling those old gas guzzlers to The Netherlands like crazy a few years ago. Then I believe the import laws changed and he had to stop. I think that hurt him too.

I have no idea how he makes any money. He invests in a lot of weird stuff but I don't see the payout. He has a dealership in Montana with about thirty derelict second generation Firebirds. Just sitting in the grass. A few year ago he used to move a lot of old American cars. Shipped them to the Dutch. Then the import…

Haha, I'm subscribed to Nathan too. I wish he would get back to cars and not do so much vlogging. Then again, he has so many of the reviewed cars still sitting around, unsold that I'm not sure it would make financial sense to keep buy more cars if they're not selling. He has some cool stuff though.

You just swap the linkage ends around on the transmission. Reverse will become 1st. 1st becomes 2nd and so on. The hot rod guys who do it usually put a small lever or shifter in the floor to actuate reverse. There are many ways you could do it, even putting a push-pull solenoid on the reverse stud on the tranny and…

Four at the same table? No, but mention it when you order. A group of ten that are sitting at a long table, but scattered all over the seating arrangement, yes. Three couples at one table, their four or more kids at another table? Yes. Essentially, just say you'll have separate checks from the beginning if there are…

Not my style. I want to put some poverty caps on the red and call it a day. Whenever I get around to it.

Niiiice. My Mustang has a 289. Love those engines. 4-speed stacked light Comet is hard to find. I'd love to have that.

The gunsight ornaments were holdovers from when the Comet was supposed to be an Edsel model (same goes for the Edsel tail lights and trunk lid). I think it was a one year only and they're hard to find in good shape for less than a fortune. But I'd love to have a pair of them!

Thanks. Red wheels for the win.

My Comet is a 1963 with the optional 170 cu.in. engine. The stock horsepower on it was 114 and it's slower off the line than any car I've ever driven (as if you can shift a 3spd manual on the column quickly anyway) and I believe the 144 cu.in. engine was rated at about 90hp. This is a car that is a bit longer than a…

Easy. I daily drive a Comet. That's my choice.

My dad's first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe he bought in 1971. My parents went on their first date in that car and got married in it in 1978. My mom drove it until she got a new Mustang in 1983 and my dad's was parked in a barn. I played in that car when I was a kid, fantasized about driving it for hours and…

I daily drive a 1963 Comet. Three on the tree. It's my primary transportation. Has been since last year. I wrote about it here:

Scale it up to hundreds of thousands of these vehicles and cities with aging infrastructure and it doesn't make practical sense. Not yet, anyway. Dump a load of new, power comsuming technology all at once and you're asking for mounds of issues. Staggering charge times? Not in winter when they need to stay topped off…
