But the CJ-7 was available with a factory V8....

I know GM had crappy output in the '80s and this is far from the best example of what they were capable of, but dammit I love the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2. Nobody bought these, so GM stopped making them. They didn't even give it a chance!

I know I used to work off of 150 lol. Usually I take 73 to I77 in the morning, and the drive 115 to 3 in the evening (Southbound 77 sucks nomatter what time of day)

Cool little town. Shop I work at is trying to get me to move there lol (I do agree the drive from Concord to Statesville sucks lol)

10.) Circuit Of The Americas

Owned a red one with the blue graphics. Still the most reliable thing I've ever owned. Refused to die, despite the 6'3" me looking like I'm escaping from a clown car every time I exited.

I went to school in Lima, OH, and the kids that obsessed about rolling coal were freaking dickweeds. They seriously try to out redneck each other. Can't stand them. Yeah, a little puff upon takeoff and the powerband is proper tuning, but clouds of smoke is called being a dick.

The colors during the True Value days were random. I do believe they changed it during the Crown Royal days so the cars primary colors matched their normal rides.

This is true. The Series built and maintained all the cars themselves, and the cars were randomly handed out each race. I'm sure some quick Youtube digging would find if Earnhardt was in this yellow 'bird or not.

5.) GM S-Series/Any Old Pickup

Oh my god yes. Bought my '93 last year with 190,000 miles, and have since put on some hard 20,000 miles. Drove it from Lima, OH to Maine (a 1,000 mile trip), and back loaded with all my brother's stuff to help him move into college. I slid though my picket fence on glare ice in my own driveway with it. It's now in…

Glad I'm not the only one to post this lol.

You need to watch this. Nothing like Maine!

Nothing says mullets and cutoff shorts like a 3rd gen F-body

I was late to work when I was 16, helping my dad get lumber for his in-progress garage. When we got home, he tossed me the keys to our recently-acquired '99 VW Jetta GL. I told him "I still have to practice and teach myself to drive stick." He then responded, "Well you have 10 minutes to go 20 miles, better learn…

There are tons of these and they're all terrible, but none are better/worse than Gary Busey.

How could you have missed out on the gut punch the previous week?

You are correct. I had an engine building class at UNOH and they pointed out this was the biggest thing. This allowed "small blocks" to use a smaller block in general. Heck Chevy had a 400ci small block in the '70's.

Went to school with one of these "people." Attached himself to any other Panther owner on campus and WOULD NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE. He was also known to bother local cops to talk about their Crown Vics. He also "autocrossed" it, but it usually ended in him spinning it out and/or eating up his daily driver tires (no…
