Wheelbase of 1967 Mustang: 108"

Since I was a kid I wanted a 67-68 XR7 or a 70 XR7 Convertible — I saw a few at car shows back then and one stuck out in my mind — it was a black 67, with a metal roof, a Hurst-shifted four-speed and black-and-white vinyl or leather seats. Someone told me that it was a rare "Tuxedo" interior package but I don't know…

I saw that a while back — maybe on the science channel — and I always thought that kind of crazy was awesome

It's the dohc 2.0 and it's just getting tired. It has about 140k and it's not just the engine (although it burns more oil than it should at that age — about 2 quarts between oil changes at the VW-recommended 5k mile intervals) and it has a little bit of what sounds like piston slap on cold starts...

I've been thinking about this because my wife's New Beetle convertible is not doing so well lately. There are several issues that need to be addressed and an engine swap would help quite a bit.

It's been around for ~25 years. I guess it didn't just kick in, yo!

Fiat Dino Coupe : Iso Grifo :: Opel GT : C3 Corvette.

Judging by the prices people are asking for them used around here, I doubt you could call it "underrated."

I just picked up a 97 Accord wagon — probably one of the best-looking wagons I can think of. It's on par with the 68-72 Cutlass Cruisers and the E39 touring... I'm kind of proud of it....

They should, but her insurance should have just covered the damage and subrogated it to the state.

Looking at Charlotte Craigslist the trend seems to be:

I'm in a temp-to-perm job that has lasted as temp for the past 18 months. I doubt I'll go permanent. I've accrued 5 PTO days in that time and taking them has been nearly impossible without the implied thread that I'll be replaced before I return. Yes, I'm living in the US. I hope this job lasts long enough for me…

I saw the Lotec C1000 that was neglected in a North Carolina dealership — at the spring 2010 Food Lion Auto Fair

NP at half the price but no thanks for anything over $1500

In 2008 I was a trainer in a call center. One woman in my training class was named — and I am absolutely not making this up — DaBreaka Dawn (Last name). She was born in the late 80s. When I was reading the training roster for the first time the apparition of Rick James appeared in my head, saying "Cocaine's a hell of…

For Henry Ford Day, we should also just wash and eat whatever we find growing in our yards. He did that.

It actually makes you a better driver. A pilot study by the University of Virginia found that adolescent males with ADHD had significantly safer driving habits using the manual transmission mode on the simulator than using the automatic. Subjectively, the study participants also stated that they felt more connected…

These were all over western PA when I was a kid. Seriously — you couldn't go more than a few hundred feet without seeing a subaru 4wd wagon — especially the 81-86 with the wagon wheels. Among my parents' group of friends there were 3 78-80 wagons, an 83 BRAT, an 84 Touring Coupe (light metallic blue — with the…

They seem to be running in the $6-8000 range for a good 380 driver and up to about $14,000 for a 560 SL. Not bad I guess. On the local craigslist there are about half a dozen of them — not bad prices. They remind me of early 80s movies about rich women...
