I remember taking an ashtray to a Philosophy class in college.  The Prof smoked so I figured I could too.  I was right.  If you think those were the bad old days, you are wrong.

Yes.  This is lovely and a tinkerer’s dream.  

How am I handling it?  The same way I’ve handled this entire last year,  Keeping my ass at home

I-72 from Hannibal Missouri to Springfield Illinois during an un-forecasted ice storm. 100 miles of the most desolate road imaginable across the flat plains of Illinois topped off by the Valley City Eagle Bridge over the Illinois river. 6 hours of white knuckling it in a 1999 Ford Crown Vic. Fishtailing and terrified …

I think this is an 80.  My Mother had an 82 that she had built custom....back when you could you sit down with a book and order exactly what you wanted.  Bucket seats with center console.  Landau rear roof WITH T-TOPS.  These wheels with white letters.  White with Burgundy pinstriping and interior.  Still, to this…

What was amazing was how much the white letter tires enhanced that look.  You put white walls on that same car with those same wheels and you got nothin.  Radial T/A’s?  Hell yeah

I always loved the Buick Rally Wheels of the 70/80's.

How many do you need?

This was basically my only thought about the HT show. I don’t know who he is and don’t care. I’m getting too old for anything like that to be aimed at me and that’s fine.

Came here for this

I think one of the problems with being a 53 year old on this site is actually remembering when shitboxes like this one came out.  They were shitboxes then, too.  I do not recall anyone thinking that the world needed a Chrysler/Maserati collaboration and we were right.  It didn’t.  NO DICE at any price.  Some things…

This is most likely THE finest example of this make and model of this particular automobile left in the world.  And I still don’t want it.  ND

I’m old enough to remember wanting one of these. This one doesn’t look....right. Something between these pictures and my memory ain’t jibing. Either that or my much older eyes just see a shitbox.  Either way...ND

Is there a drug test and I need next Tuesday off for court.

1977 Mercury Cougar XR7. Bought it when I was 19 in 1987. 26k miles and had been meticulously maintained by the literal “little old lady” that owned it.  351W.  That whole era of Detroit steel was iffy but this was a good one. Showroom new. Drove it into a parked car at a speed estimated to be “in excess of 60 MPH” in…

and if California slides into the ocean...

I was behind someone doing this just the other day.  Aggravating

Who is Amanda Gorman? She is my daughter. She is your daughter. She is America’s daughter, and this middle-aged white man from rural Missouri couldn’t possibly be any prouder of her. She is hope. She is aspiration. She is naivety in her fearless determination to fight for a better place brought on by the wariness of…

I do a lot of drugs

God help me, I like it.  The clean lines hit me right in the wheelhouse.  With that said, ND.  It’s a shitbox as it is and the base price is too high to begin a restomod.  At least to me, it is.
