I’ve always looked young for my age. A curse for a long time, but finally paying off in my ‘50's. The curse part was driven home when I was in my early ‘20's, back around 1992, my pickup was falling apart and I had two cars picked out, very different, but both would fill the necessary voids. Choice 1 was a Jetta. …

Easy fix, just use quarters

I think the old TTs have aged really well. I thought they were “interesting” when they were new...like the Prowler or that weird Chevy SSR pickup. A design exercise that actually had some follow through, but exactly NOT for me. But a few years ago I found myself really eyeing the TT coupe. Yeah...I could see having…

Next to the Mach5 this is the most perfect car ever!

I test drove a Corolla S. I learned the “S” stands for “Red”.

I’m looking hard for “Type III Fastback” street.

I loved the first half of this episode, then when the bugs crawled out and the Doctor made all the correct leaps in shaky logic to figure things out I just rolled my eyes. Not the episode to introduce somebody new to Dr Who.

This healthcare proposal is supported by my father, an elderly cancer patient.

This is excellent. The kind of story I look forward to reading.

I like front wheel drive drag racers. The ones with the big gushy tires on the front.

What do they do with the destroyed cars? Do they part them out?

I test drove a used one back in the day. The engine started smoking and it broke down on the test drive, but it’s not too big of a leap to think the smoke was whatever they used to clean the engine and it simply ran out of gas. I still kind of wish I would have bought it, but I got a 1969 Mach 1 instead.

If you ever see “Fred” again, give him my thanks for making all of my bad decisions for me.

For our next David Tracy project car I’d like to announce a Ferrari F40...

Does it actually have to be a Yugo seatbelt to make it legal? Could you have just pulled one out of a junkyard car? Seriously asking. 

I had the newer model Insight and kinda sorta liked it. Fit and finish were good, it was comfortable, and I regularly got 50+ on the highway. But I could never get used to having the engine redline up every slight grade. Including my driveway.

This is like driving a Jeep along the median instead of the road, just because Jeeps can go off road.

Inspecting the rings of a Saturn? They seem to burn some oil so that must be pretty common.

Hmm...tempting, but I have three vehicles (if you don’t count 16 bicycles) and only room for two. And I’m afraid of my wife. So I’m good.

I thought I won the lottery when I found a 1990 sportsmobile pop up conversion on a 1990 econoline 150. YES! I don’t have to sweat breaking down like VW owners do! And except for replacing the intake manifold TWICE before being told I should really just replace the engine, it’s been perfect. Oh, except for the…
