They’re still stuck in the past when nobody knew what a 1LE was besides a few big enthusiast types back in the 3rd/4th generation days. After the 4th gen stopped production in 2002, the prices of the 1LE models went through the roof because they were actually rare, pretty much had to be spec-ordered that way, and the…

Jessi Combs was on the Powerblock on Spike, back when American Hot Rod was on the air, you had Lee the metal fabricator, Texas Car Wars had a Hispanic crew, Overhaulin always had a lady host present for their entire run as well as multiple women who did the actual work, Pimp My Ride had probably a larger ratio of…

You left Georgia too soon, Doug. Governor Perdue issued a campaign a few months ago encouraging troopers and enforcement state-wide to crack down on that shit via the “slow poke law” that is on the books but never enforced. Is it working? No idea, but I would hope so. My Comet doesn’t have a highway gear and sounds…

Full-time Etsy artist here. Her lyrics and phrases aren’t yet considered “public domain” and her publishers can’t go after Etsy because they release the liability to the artists and consider themselves more of an escrow platform. But the way I see it, making a buck off plagiarizing someone else’s work isn't being…

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…

When the buyer drags your ass to Superior Court because they lack basic life skills. Ask me how I know... http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/how-an-explore…

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…
