I especially liked how they (Michael Mann?) synchronized the thunderclap in the song with the door slamming on the car.

Whenever i get a little heated in traffic, my wife/co-pilot reminds me that we don’t know what is going through that other driver’s mind. Maybe they just lost someone or they are about to lose someone, or have a medical illness.  Probably rarely the case, but it puts things into perspective and helps calm me down.

My classic sleeper was to be a mid-80's Dodge Diplomat with the full cop suspension treatment, and a MoPar 355 engine (yeah, 440 is nice, but way too heavy - i want this sucker to handle!). Second option is a Jag XJS with said MoPar 355. Third option is Chrysler Conquest with said MoPar 355 in it, although i’d settle…

Yeah, it is horrible. i was in a hurry and grabbed it off utube. There are a lot more there, just search “brothers in arms miami vice”. My connection is slow right now.

Can’t believe no one has posted this yet:

Put cockpit inside a giant hamster ball and line the spherical perimeter with powered pogo sticks.  It will go anywhere with no flats.

This would make a great vehicle for government fleets. Too bad they are stuck on buying “American” brands that likely have less American content than many “foreign” brands. Feel-good politics and all that...

Prolly has a Mercury SportJet in it. They like to do those things up in Canada with those SportJet motors.

Well, Honda had their Crosstour a few years ago. Like most Honda vehicles that are a little out of the ordinary (Element, Ridgeline, S2000), it didnt sell well, but owners rave on and on about them.

We had one of those canvas tents in the 70s. It was heavy, man!

Ridgeline

I dunno ...my ‘92 V8 Dakota was a hoot to drive and gave me years of TROUBLE-FREE service. Sold it in perfect working condition with 175k miles on it.

Many parts of an automobile are made by third-party suppliers. Things like lighting, seats, computers, sensors, wheels, brakes, suspension, glass, HVAC, infotainment, differentials, airbags, seat belts, instrument panels, etc. The car mfr may supply the engine, frame/bodies, sheetmetal and transmission.

According to the movies, the best getaway cars are small underpowered sporty cars. For example, in the movie Fletch, Chevy Chase eludes chasing police cars easily in a small Fiat. In “The Man Who Knew Too Little”, Bill Murray outruns the cops in a Mini. Then, in a more serious chase scene, Jason Bourne outruns cops in…

CP, and here’s why. First, isn’t the Ranger chassis like the worst-handling chassis ever made? Couldn’t they find a better chassis, even if it meant avoiding inbreeding?
