Many, many years ago as a kid I had a beautiful toy version of the Eagle with a key-wound spring motor in it. Pretty sure it was 1:12 scale but I don’t even know anymore who made it or who gave it to me. But it was the only toy car I absolutely did not fuck with. Every Hot Wheels got bashed and painted, every other…

The 1967 Eagle Weslake Mark 1 or T1 Formula 1 car. No garish advertising, just a V12 missile on wheels. 

Appreciate the edit. Not only would most people not read far enough to get past instinctive outrage (obviously I wrote that to stoke outrage), even fewer would make a point of acknowledging it. Good on you.

I’m reasonably sure most people can pick up on the cynicism and sarcasm of my post. Yes I’m a car guy but I also get around 95% of the time as a pedestrian in a big city. I can walk faster than traffic here, stop in at a quick mart and grab some necessesities on my way and come back out and still see the cars that I’ve…

Vision Zero sounds like some sort of blind commie talk. I might shave as much as 3 seconds off my commute by running a red light. At least until I give that back on the other side of the intersection but still that’s like 15 minutes a year or something. And if I don’t logjam that intersection and block the people cross…

Well I guess when your share price is down 70% over the last year and 53% year-to-date every $277 really counts. 

I can mix and match some Antares Ingens up front with some Bridgestones out back from Walmart for under $1000 for all 4 corners.

Kinda feel like this was all just a convoluted ploy for the guy to justify posting feet pics on the internet.

“Bear Drags Crash Victim From Wreckage After Car Crashes Into Woods”

I had a custom-made, multi-point cage installed in my GTA. It was pretty extensively modified in other ways but honestly I didn’t need the cage for legitimate safety reasons. It was purely an aesthetic choice that I thought upped the cool factor. I’m not saying I was wrong about that aspect, but it made the car so…

Why not? Hitchhiking is just Uber without the app.

“passengers are free to be naked…including at the vessel’s self-serve buffet on the pool deck”

Has anyone ever actually used those luggage racks? I don’t think I can recall ever in my life seeing something tied down onto the rear deck of a Corvette.

FFS it’s an Atmospheric Scrubber aka “Sky Roomba”. A joint project between the EPA and NASA to clean particulates out of urban airspace.

The Mustang has to be on that list. Ford sold something like 4 times as many as expected in the first production year. It pushed the muscle car era into high gear. They still make them today.

On one hand, I want one. On the other hand I’m terrified that I can have one.

So, the current owner looked into this vibration issue but has evidently decided they’re too busy to fix it and will sell it as-is. That’s all the warning anyone should need. ND.

In an urban environment like where I am, it has the added negative of essentially monetizing the sidewalks. Most delivery people get around by bike/scooter to avoid traffic congestion but they can cut their delivery time down even more if they ride on sidewalks (not legal). So now we get not just regular bikes but…

As long as America treats it like their commitment to avoid the metric system, then I’m okay with this.
