Nah, I’ve made repairs of this nature before. One is about fifteen years old and still in regular service. HVAC, on the roof, hot as hell and vibrating like an adult toy. It’ll hold up.

You just mentioned Harley Softails racing and now I can’t think of anything except the Draft Horse Barrel Races.

The assignment of teeth to the grille of the Sprite is frankly horrifying and hilarious in equal measure.

Been driving in Appalachia for over 30 years, literally have deer just wandering through my yard, a GREAT many have kamikaze’d right into my path, haven’t hit any yet.

The 60s were hard on you, weren’t they?

I knew there was some element of this car’s provenance that I wasn’t quite perceiving.  That was it.  It has changed hands rather a lot.

I’m waiting for Tesla to get sued to the Moon Mars. Liability, baby.

Imola Red flags.

If you squint just a little at the ad featuring the Copper Electric Town Car, you see serious dedication to aerodynamic epitomization.  They were pretty far from ideal, but they were a hell of a lot closer than contemporary sedans.

YOU’RE breathtaking!

That was a huge shame too because the Vega 2.3 Cosworth was a tremendous leap in technological potential...all of it brought crashing down by too many assumptions, nowhere near enough testing, and budget-based decisions.
