This Pristine 1976 AMC Gremlin X Is Making Me Question The Majority Of My Life Choices

I’ve caught a lug nut to the windshield from a passing truck before. No amount of airflow is going to divert that away from the driver’s face.

If I had the room I’d probably have way too many vehicles as well, but one thing has always struck me when you post picks of your’s - They’re scattered all over the place. It would look far less junkyard-y (and probably make your neighbors slightly happier) if you’d park them all in a nice row. Also, move the randomly …

Back in probably 8th or 9th grade, a kid a few years older than me, who went by “Guy” but was actually named Guido, lived around the corner from me. I hung out with him every now and then to stay on his good side, because you didn’t want to be on his bad side. His room was full of stacks of Playboys and Penthouse,…

Probably just old. This is something my mom would do, and if you tried to switch the AC to defog, she’d tell you not to because it would just make it worse.

I have, and I feel that listening to Sesame Street Fever on anything else would be wrong.

That’s one of the things that amazes me today - CD players don’t skip any more. Rubber bands for tires, lowering springs so stiff they might as well be welded in place, and the music just keeps on playing. What type of wizardry is that?!

As a life-long grey (since registering in August 2018), I’ve had to view other grey comments plenty of times to find older posts of mine. I believe if you were to block your contact info from “us”, you’d cut the amount of hate mail to at least 1/3 of what you get now.

I’d argue that it only comes in automatic because the age demographic that will buying them really doesn’t care about rowing their own boat any more. They’ll be taking out on sunny weekend afternoons and driven to the local car show. That’s who can afford them new, while most of the people that are mad it isn’t…

That’s an LS1, not 6. I like FRC’s for their rarity, and appreciate that this one still looks correct. Most of them are faking Z06's now - wheels, front bumper screens, and cutting the holes in the side to add Z06 brake ducts. That said, having put 130k miles on a C5 myself, lots of little but expensive things start…

The Civic coupe still exists, but it’s weird looking. The back is too round. The sedan actually looks sportier.

It’s nice looking, but it has the issue as the last Pontiac GTO - crap in the trunk to prevent folding down the rear seats when carrying oversized items.

Curious how he’s getting that kind of range from an 80 kwh battery. Isn’t that substantially better than Tesla at the same size battery?

I feel bad for all involved in what’s happening at deadspin, and I really miss splinter, but damn do all these unrelated comments get old quick.

Yep, completely missed that. Too busy thinking “what the...?”

I had a friend who bought a 350Z new for the same reason. It was his dream car. At the time I was driving a C5, so when he tossed me the keys, my overwhelming impression was “slow”. It had a smooth ride, nice exhaust note (from the inside, hated it outside), and felt like it handled decent, though I wasn’t going to…

$50k is fine, BMW roots are fine. The problem is it’s ugly. If it’s my money, I’m not buying a sports car that doesn’t bring a smile to my face just standing there looking at it.

Or door handles! Don’t forget the lack of exterior door handles!

We clocked our old 5hp 2-seater in the upper 30's, so the stated 40 is about par for the course for a 5hp. They’re just getting there faster.

The guy tossing pizza dough in the air had an errant shot, but with so much Botox, she didn’t notice it hitting her in the forehead. He then grabbed a rolled out breadstick and tossed it up there just to confirm.
