Did any of the cylinder heads of all those horsepower wind up in the bed of The Godfather?

The seller has already reduced the price to $24,900, which is still thousands too much. Keep trying, guy.

I remember looking at one of these - in black - back in the day and unless I’m very much mistaken, this was about what they were asking for the new one at the dealership.

Men: “Golly! The whole side of the car just fell right off. Take a gander at that, Bob!”

RE: 1st: “Starting?”

Richard Gere reference.

I see Taunus and think Fairmont.

Three pedals and AWD in an unfussy sedan (this is how you do it, Lexus) is pretty appealing, but does it appeal $15,000 worth?

I’d rather pay that much to have the SS than this thing.  I don’t want to drive what appears to be the world’s angriest toaster at any price.

Two weeks ago Tom McParland was featuring a shopping query for a guy looking to move out of his Chevy SS. Go find that guy and buy his car instead. Bigger, faster, and not suffering from Predator Face, the SS is a nice place to find yourself.

The rear windows in our 1980 Citation only went down about halfway. The reason, at least as much as I could guess as a 13-year-old kid, was the shape of the door itself. The contour of the rear wheel arch intruded on the rear edge of the door and left no room for a full-width window to go all the way down. So halfway…

Ten HP more and 500lbs less for the Taurus, it’s all in the weight and power. The LS has a deep first gear that should give a big holeshot advantage except the Taurus has a similar first gear. It’s a straight up gunfight in the sprint, whoever has the most punch wins. So long as the Taurus can get the fronts to hook…

Life as a handyman.  Hand start, backing into the hole until you feel the click.  If I can’t turn it in by hand a couple of turns, try again.  If it continues to be stiff, proceed with caution.  There may be gunk in the threads.  Either way, application of tools during installation is usually reserved to hand tools…

“...and according to the package, it can be drilled and tapped. BUT, so can cheddar cheese.”

Let’s stop calling it a crack. It isn’t a crack.

I expect not to be lied to.  You’d think it would be a reasonable request and yet it’s evidently a big enough problem that when faced with a wet car, we become suspicious that the presenter has ulterior motives beyond merely presenting us with a clean car.

Oh yeah.  That was so far out of character for the rest of the car I didn’t really know what to make of it except to raise my eyebrows at it and move on.

The SHO also weighed 500 pounds less.

I like the idea of an 818, but not when the guy is asking good condition money for a poor condition car.
