Disagree. Besides being an American icon, they are super easy to modify. You can get into the 12s by just doing a few mods on a stock car.Plus, the angular blackness just looks hella cool.

THIS! What car did John McClane use to bomb (see what I did there?) around New York to catch bad guys? That's right, a 9C3 Caprice taxi. Yippee-ki-yay, motherhumpers.

998cc 3-cylinder EcoBoost. I know it's in the small Fiesta, but damn that's a tiny engine in something that isn't a Kei car. Small enough, in fact, to pass through airport security

The 1989-91 Chevy/GMC Suburban. New front end on the old body style. My favorite.

Well, if you take off the wheel covers of a lot of cars nowadays, you have steelies. And probably better airflow to the brakes.

Time. We've advanced far beyond 100 year old designs in all other areas, yet the manual remains a century old anachronism. It's true, and I'm not really sorry.

I am shocked that the second train was allowed to go through a flood. Usually that's not allowed because the water can short out the traction motors and associated wiring.

That's because it was French. It probably surrendered rather than operate normally.

Circuit of the Americas. Never have I heard so much about something that has produced so little.

Is that the battery being spit out of the grille? Shady engineering, Toyota.

Chevy Lumina Z34. I owned one in the mid-90's. The twin-cam V6 was a screamer, it got up to 90 m.p.h in a hurry, and handled really well. Also, very comfortable. Just don't forget to change the timing belts at 100,000 miles or you'll end up with an expensive repair and it may not run right afterwards. Ask me how I…

GMC Granite. C'mon GM! Small wagons are the future.

Does it have to be motion pictures? I nominate KARR

OG Revcon:

Best part of Die Hard With A Vengeance was the crazy taxi driving through Central Park and in traffic with a Caprice.

SO MUCH THIS. I had a 1993 Chevy Lumina z34 on which I ignored to timing belt. It snapped one night, stranding me. Thankfully, there was no internal engine damage, but it cost me $1100 to fix and never ran right again.

Crack Pipe. Not having all of today's stories on a single page is annoying and troublesome.

Impressive. That reminds me of a "How It's Made" episode I saw featuring aluminum foil- they basically take a "2001" sized monolith ingot of aluminum and roll it until it's microns thick and hundreds of feet long.

Should have been SEEi

I have that exact set, along with its successor. I then combined them and made a significantly more realistic top fuel dragster than the one shown. I still have it in that configuration, 25 years later.
