    I refuse to drive another International because of the quality of the trucks I encountered in my career. Volvo Trucks are so bad that they make me wish I was driving an International.

    Volvo Trucks: The only brand to make you wish you were driving an International.

    The only way I would use this is if they made it plug and go. Maybe something that plugs into the light socket and sends the signal to the helmet light wirelessly. Hardwire requirement? Forget it.

    huh. I thought this car never made it past the concept stage. Didn’t know they were put into production.

    The only modern SUV for me is a wrangler. Otherwise, I'll take a K5 and forget the rest.

    I'd certainly prefer the automatic. It is so much more enjoyable than a manual for daily driving.

    Black on black. 400 cubic inches, 4 speed.

    This was a much better show than Top Gear. It actually focused on the cars instead of the personalities driving them.

    Hey, it was a GTO, not a Mustang.

    Had it been a 40 year old car with 40 year old parts, I’d have expected some of what I experienced. However, it was a 40 year old car with all brand new parts. New bushings. New ball joints. New shocks. New springs. New everything. I have a 71 Nova that drives very similar, but, it’s been unrestored and largely

    You know how I know you’re lying? Those cars don’t corner.

    My dad’s 68 GTO. Despite being completely restored, it drove worse than an old dump truck. It redlined at highway speeds. The steering wheel only offered suggestions for where you’d like to go. Headlights may as well not been installed. Sure made my decision to sell it that much easier. If the emotional baggage that

    Scissor jacks. Simply won’t use them. I’ve got two 2 ton floor jacks for work at home. If something happens on the road, I’ve got AAA. I used a scissor jack a few weeks a go in desperation and as soon as I needed a little force to remove my wheel that had seized to the hub, I gave up. I could have done it myself, but,

    Thrash it or scrap it. It is the only reasonable response. I hate museum pieces. If it isn't going to be driven, stuff it full of explosives and say buh bye.

    Why is this supposed to upset me again?

    I have to nominate stickers I once put on my car. The Piss on Ford and Piss on Jap Crap stickers. I’d like to beat 16 year old me.

    You mean besides the fact that they suck and don’t do squat to protect the car?

    Bring back bench seats! I hate buckets.

    Hold on. Mitsu is still active in the US?

    Thankfully, I’m smart enough to recognize how stupid I am and how much of a bad idea this would be for me.
