Hear hear. I have random bits that came out if an actual Shelby Cobra and my wife won’t let me bring them in to display because a greasy flywheel and distributor cap aren’t good enough to sit on her antique bookcases.

And only sometimes with Law Enforcement. I just dealt with that for the last week with several parolees hiring a lawyer because their sex offender therapy program put them on probation because the whole lot of them got caught by my partner and myself sitting in a diner watching an elementary school playground. Thank…
Yup.
I got to help restore the wooden structure of one of these once. Loved them ever since.
At one point I had an old Plymouth with 14:1 compression, the damned thing wouldn’t even start unless I went for full race gas or straight drag alcohol. I got rid of it pretty quickly, it just wasn't worth the effort to try to street drive it.
My co-worker drives a first gen wagon, it's coming apart at the seams but it still coughs to life every day for his 50 mile commute.
Depends on the circumstances. Always premium in the wife’s more modern car, and in the Buick with 11.5:1 and a mild cam. In my old truck I usually go mid grade because I have a measurable difference in fuel economy but cost outweighs benefit with premium unless I’m going into the mountains then I fill with premium…
My kids liked cramming the ones in my truck full of crayons and gummy bears until I made them scrape them out with a putty knife.
Remember when you accidentally let your legs touch the seat and melted your skin off only to have your dad turn around and say "Quit bitching, you'll get used to it." but you never did. Good times, good times.
Perfect candidate to build a Factory Five 818.
Blame that on General Motors. The US government did Back in the day with an anti-trust suit because they monopolized public transit then cut the crap out if it to force people to buy cars, at least according to one of my college professors ten years ago.
It looks like someone tried to describe the C8 Vette over the phone to the designer and they just went with it.
My mother in law just bought one of these, used I admit but still in near new condition, for less than $30,000 so maybe just check the used market?
No more so than any other addict and in my experience meth users are a whole lot easier to deal with than alcoholics and marijuana users as they refuse to accept that hurting other people with their constant use is wrong because the store bstances they use are legal. I actually had a guy that put three children in…
You'd be shocked at how common that is. The complaint I usually hear from my parolees is that doing it IV the high goes away too fast. Either way they get in trouble for using but I try to go for therapeutic sanctions rather than incarceration if I possibly can.
She taught me several things, chief among them is never let her try to teach anyone to drive ever again. But she also taught me all about her favorite car, the 1935 Auburn Boattail Speedster.
That's fair. The Lambo is just ridiculous all the way around so I thought it would be fun to mention.
I hear you on the LSD and tires but I detest traction control. After two decades of winter driving in a '70's Buick with a posi I think I'd rather continue using my tactile abilities rather than a computer that tells me what I can and can't do. I've never been more frightened while driving than when my wife's car…
Depending on how far north of salt ke they were they could have been near the Hill AFB museum in which case your Photoshop wouldn't be entirely inaccurate, just replace the shuttle with a B-one among others. I take my kids every time we go down to visit family in Utah.
