Torch is already better than The Onion, at least anything they’ve done recently.

It’s uncanny how glamorously she has aged. Beautiful inside and out.

before everyone jumps on me about the headline, no I am not advocating for a return to steam power as a way of reducing your carbon emissions. Obviously heating water through a coiled copper tube is not an efficient or low-impact way to travel

For maximum patriotism, drive your Eagle with bald tires.

I don’t have a problem with their existence; my beef with B-pillars is that they are almost always blacked out plastic for the past 10 yr. What the heck happened to body-colored pillars?

I died laughing when you opened the drain plug to let out the gravy.

They still made Studebakers in 1959 and they would in fact make them for a further 5 years in the US, 7 years in Canada.

Jeez, you’re not kidding!

Thanks for the reply! of course one may forget some details after that many years.

At 2.5 grams apiece, $5000 in pennies weighs over 1200 kg. That’s quite a lot of weight for the trunk of a 77 Grand Prix. How many bags did they come in? Were you working for a bank? Why didn’t you have access to a truck or van for this job? I want to hear the story here!

The new Pacifica looks fine, but so did the old one.

That was awesome! I need to seek out this book.

Maybe it’s just me, but when I look at the Type 3 I think of an updated Kaiser Henry J. Small, fastback-ish two-door sedan with lots of style and cuteness in a tight, efficient package.

Yeah, I’m not especially imaginative when it comes to muscle cars.

It’s not a hot take, but I think the 64-67 Chevelle pulls off the square intermediate look so much better than the contemporaneous Fairlane, Rambler, and Belvedere. So much so that Ford dumped the Fairlane for the sexier-named Torino, and went all-in on Coke bottle styling, because they had nothing to lose.

Mmm Italian electrics....

If this is how you perceived my tone, I think your internet sarcasm detector is probably calibrated such that you’re getting a lot of false positives.

I didn’t “explain the joke” precisely - the joke in this article was the tweet from Yamaha. You can still have a laugh at the fact that Yamaha addressed this car-related topic, but you have to know about the particular detail of the topic first or it’s not funny at all.

now that’s funny :)

Sorry if I’ve interfered with the joke? Your article didn’t link to the automotive context behind this, although it has been covered in other pages on Jalopnik, and I thought I’d just mention that for those who didn’t already know.
