The engine was definitely more fun. The 1.4L turbo was a go-to-glory fun machine, but when it wasn’t in boost? Yikes. It felt every bit like a dead little 1.4L engine. (My dad bought one like the month they came out, and sold it like six months later. Like a true Fiat, it spent about three of its six month ownership…

I don’t know what I would pay to own one, but I know I’d pay anything I could scrape up for a 30 minute ride in one!

I didn't even know that there was such a museum. After the insanity is all over I'll have to take my mom, those are all of her favorite car brands in one place. 

The Cord Duesenburg Museum in Aurburn IN has a great example of a Tucker on display, I was there a couple of years ago and took some pics you can use to compare to the “movie prop”

Pro-top: reduce the width of the web page and it will drop the slideshow thing and go to a normal list.

I went through the slideshow ONLY because it was you. Also, that kobalt set is actually pretty good deal, even if it is just Kobalt tools. Also, I have that exact grinder and I love it, but it drains batteries like I drain soda.

If I’m being honest, your wrenching stories were the best part of this site. The traveling stories are nice, but just don’t connect the same way or stand out as much from the tons of other themed travel writers on the internet.

you know, you don’t have to call a four door SUV a “coupe” even if Porsche asks you to.

I’ve been here for five years.

Slideshow ignored. That coupe-SUV-slant trunk shape remains the ugliest, clumsiest looking vehicle shape on the road.

Yup

Mint flavored moon pies of course, to prepare me to relocate to the moon as soon as the real estate market opens up
