I thought I had heard somewhere that the Charger we know was too far along in the development process by the time marketing had told the product development team it was to be sold as the Charger for any significant changes to be made so it would be more like the classic Charger, like being a two door coupe.

So much this. Even 'cheap' projects that just sit can become serious points of contention. It's one thing to have stuff you like in your own space, but it becomes another entirely to share space and income with someone who otherwise doesn't have a connection with your project vehicle and probably sees it as a…

Not nearly as quick as these seem to rust, though. Heard they start to go as soon as 30k.

No, really: Rust never sleeps. There's also about 3 to 5 times as much as those rust bubbles seem to imply, and there is a reason road noise has gotten really loud recently.

Wait, only $20k? *balls up life, starts over*

Heresy.

Going to a rifle range is the same. Nowadays if you're showing up with anything that has wood furniture and isn't semiautomatic you're kind of the oddball. Used to be the one guy who shows up with the 'black gun' was the weird one.

Not only that, but you're in a Waffle House around midnight- if weird Twilight Zone shit isn't happening, you should probably run.

I'm from Wayne, Michigan. Don't.

My coworker want to know how I got coffee all over my monitor.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for supernatural vs. mundane stories like the premise was made out to be and thought about it, but the cost tradeoff wasn't worth it, especially now.

Metro: 2033 and especially Metro: Last Light have a very similar mechanic with gas masks. As you take damage while wearing one, the plastic cracks and crazes until it finally breaks open, requiring one to always keep an eye out for masks in better shape. In LL at least, water, mud and bodily fluids of enemies will…

Yep, I think 5000 lb is about right. For example Crown Vics weight in at ~3900 lbs, and a Ford Flex is anywhere from ~4500 to ~4900 lbs. Heck, a Camaro ZL1 is about ~4200 lbs.

Everyone I've ever talked to who wasn't involved with/understood vehicle accident physics always assumes big & heavy = safe, and even if directed to evidence (see 59 Impala vs. 2008 Malibu) it becomes 'Well, I don't trust modern cars/the gubmint/GM etc.'.

They've got a small variety of Ts to choose from; most are the 1914-spec but there's a couple 1919s and 1926s to choose from as well. My favorite part is the Model TT wrecker they actually use as a tow vehicle.

With as cold as it was, possibly.

If it's not a Ranger in the ditch, it's usually an (older) Explorer, Trailblazer, Cavalier or Grand Am. And they're always off along the long, straight stretches.

I just want to note that your note in your book that most people in SE Michigan drive whatever the Big 3 couldn't sell well is demonstrated by the number of LWs, Avalanches and Azteks I see daily.
