I'm generally not allowed near white interiors, but I'd rive one if anyone would let me.

So riveting was the only sound method available. That and it just looks great.
It hurts to look at that crashed Daytona. I can't imagine how the owner felt. Cars like that always get rebuilt though.
I like small cars, but micro-cars always have a cartoon come to life aspect to them that makes them hard to take seriously.
But we're humans. Profoundly stupid is what we do best!

I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say that rivets were used because they were the most structurally sound method for fastening aluminum panels at the time. The heliarc process was invented in 1944. Rivets are still stronger because you don't have to deal with the varying metal hardness that causes fatigue…
I'd almost forgotten the "have you driven a Ford lately" campaign, as Ford tried to live down the the reputation of the malaise era Pintos and whatnot. The "No! come back! we've changed!" ad campaign. I always saw the Tauras as being nothing but compromise. Not many kids grow up thinking "Some day I'm going to get a…
If you have to ask, you obviously can't afford one. I'd have to assume that as complexity goes up so does purchase price followed by and exponential rise in repair costs. But if you're the type that lights cigars with 100 dollar bills...
Actually I care so little about this movie that I didn't even bother to read the review. I'd rather watch a greased sumo wrestler ballet to the sound of mating alley cats.
Gangs of youths terrorizing the streets on dirt bikes isn't really a big problem? They must not be riding through his neighborhood. It's the tactic of keeping crime corralled into designated high crime areas. As long as they stay out of "respectable" neighborhoods let them do whatever they like. As we used to say…
I've gotta say I've been complaining for years about how prevalant male-bashing has been in modern media. We're portrayed as bumbling idiots at best.
My house burned down in May and I'm still a month or two from getting permits to rebuild, so I'm not surprised by this story. Insurance claims run glacially slow.
There's seven automobiles and one pedestrian, my guess is it's the pedestrian.
I remember being 12 years old, and being taken home by the police, and getting grounded from my Benelli 50 mini bike because I was riding it on the streets. These rules no longer apply?
I have a feeling this isn't going to end well.
The most dangerous to ignore would be tires, brakes, and suspension. Any of these failing at speed could be fatal.
I was on the freeway driving home one time when a first generation Toyota 4runner had a front tire blow out two cars ahead of me. I remember seeing it spin sideways, then fly up in the air so I saw the…
I've always loved the way these things look. They nailed a style that never looks dated.

I've seen brake rotors like that before. When I was 18 the brakes my girlfriend's Pinto looked like that. I think it was the first time I had a swing at replacing brakes and rotors. It was my first lesson on how letting one thing go tends to lead to numerous other problems down the line. Fix it at the first sign of…
I don't think there is an ultimate car nerd car. If you talk to people like us, you'll get a different opinion from every one. The one thing that brings us together is the love of cars, but start asking for details and its the thing that most divides us. Good luck on getting a consensus.
This is one car I wash they'd sold in the US. I'd love to see a market form cars like these open up here.
