1988 S-10, 2.8l here. I know the feel.

Spinelli had you covered on that.

This. The only saving grace of owning one was leaving out the rear seats and having all that flat-floored cargo area. Also great for road trips downstate where the passenger could sprawl in back and relax.

Oh no, don't try pinning this one on us. Wisconsin takes full credit for THAT one.

"Guys... has anyone ever built a car with a mustache?"

I remember reading something about how Ford execs weren't too pleased with the engineers on the MN12 project when the SC won MT's Car of the Year in '89. They were upset that it was stealing the Thunder from the Mustang. I imagine that win effectively neutered the platform's performance options.

I'll use my #TBirdTuesday entry: the Ford Thunderbird SC.

I agree. Everyone reveres the Monte SS, but they seem to forget the boat anchor under the hood.

Sometimes I wish Jalopnik wasn't owned by Gawker...

Nah, I made this one the day it aired. Yours is zoomed in a bit more than mine.

I take offense that you'd call the namesake of my screen name "front-wheel drive!"

Rena has shed a lot of hazardous material this morning...

You know, THAT'S all I could think of when her mother named her. Renal failure.

Jesus. The only other time I see my daughter's name used for something or someone, and it's a goddamned sinking ship.

Justify the usage of the word "failed."

Agreed. The Atlas Six was designed specifically for the Trailvoy platform, but it's a damned shame they shelved a DOHC I6 that made over 1 hp/ci. The thing made almost as much power as the 5.3 V8 that had almost 60 cubic inches on it!

See, that was my immediate complaint with GT5: no Reasonably Priced Cars, and the goddamned rolling start.

Not you. The kids that fit the wastegates and mufflers that are annoying as hell. Flat-brimmed Monster hats turned sideways, gangster lean, primered hoods. Those guys.
