Vtec kicked in, yo

God forbid THAT thing fail

I bought a truck a couple of years ago and the ‘infotainment’ system was full of nothing but Creed AND Nickelback MP3s. I feel your pain.

My 2011 Ram 1500 has an hour meter. It’s buried in the EVIC screens but its there.

Considering you can get a CJ7 in similar shape for half that, it’s hard to stomach 8K. A nice bug-eyed FJ55 can be had for the same money and 2x the cool points.

Hehehe - every city has stereotypes and most of these types I observed I worked with at the HP factory out just north of Speedway. It was more like maybe 1 in 50 but when you encounter it it seems to be a very specific look: Crew/buzz cut, maybe a little mullet in the back, tucked in Colts jersey, driving a beat up…

I lived there about 10 years ago. Unless there’s been some kind of renaissance, then I stand by my depiction of 90% of the 25-35 year old males I came across.

If it hasn’t been said already - the Dockwise Vanguard. It’s used to move Oil Derricks. Just look at how big this thing is

Meh to most of those on the list- the ‘70 SuperBee/Coronet is way angrier looking than any of these

Agreed. If I Uber’d an Indy car it would be to take me out of there as fast as possible to a town that isn’t all mustaches, mullets and wifebeaters. Oh, and Colts jerseys tucked into acid-washed jeans.

And thank God - a truck with a wing is maybe the dumbest idea in the history of trucks. Even trucks with smoke stacks are slightly less dumb.

You have to include a Trabant 501 for signalling the end of a political era if not an automotive era (other than its own produciton). Berlin wall down? We’ll be going to the West now, kthxbye

And I’m speaking of 68/69 - I know you could get a 340 in later B-body ‘muscle cars’

1968-69 Chargers could be had with the slant six as well - a rare option but odd for the muscle car era. Super Bees, GTXs and RoadRunners only came with big block V8’s - the Charger was the lone true ‘muscle car’ from Mopar that could be had with a six. And I’m not counting the Satellite/Belvedere/Coronet - they’re…

The Jeep Wrangler (YJ,TJ, and JK)

The outgoing Jeep CJ (2,3,5,6,7 and 8) was a no-frills bathtub-on-wheels-with-a-torquey-I6 runabout that was used for military service and as a farm implement for almost 50 years with few real changes to the (very) basic formula. While the Wrangler carried over some parts commonality…

Arguing with Autistic people on a car site. Just when I thought there were no new lows on the internet...

Honestly it does - either he’s really old or dying or something.

So many typos - I’ll never hit ‘publish’ without proofreading again.

Though the phrase ‘ahead of its time implies’ that in a later era the tech became commonplace (and this didin’t) - the Chrysler Turbine car deserves and honorable mention. For those unfamiliar with Turbine engines - they’re torque monsters. Unfortunately, they put off exhaust so hot it’ll burn your leg hairs (and a…

99 percent chance this is in like Indiana, not the South. See those shaven heads? We don’t roll like that down here. I saw more racist and redneck crap in 9 months in Indiana then I have in the 38 other years on this planet spent in the South.
