Down here in Florida, purchasing any Corvette is automatic admission to the “Old Car Guy’s Club”. Not ready for that, yet. CP.

“Are You Being Served?”

The correct title for this article should be “The reality of owning an older car IN NEW YORK CITY.”

Funny. They just “auto resubscribed” me though Pay Pal without my consent. Wonder if I will be getting my money back.

A gallon or so of POR15 will take care of all of that.

Been half halfheartedly shopping for used Grand Cherokee SRTs. Talk about depreciation! I could buy two or three of them for this price, and at least be able to get out of my own way when hitting the “go” pedal.

Once saw a van driving through some little town in California with a couple of llamas in the back. 

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hands up whoever didn’t see this coming. 

This is perhaps the best iteration of the old Buick/Olds engine. Rover spent a lot of time making sure that these were fairly reliable, and addressed many problems that earlier models had. I’m not gonna get all tech spec here, but there are many 4.6's running around out here with none of the problems of the earlier…

The other day I read that they are thinking of re-doing Tank Girl, possibly with Margoe Robbie. I think you need to send them this tape. You could be a show in.

Was actually gonna go NP until you mentioned a slushbox transmission. Makes me wonder about the brain of the person who conceived this vehicle.

Kind of reminds you of that idiot who borrowed his buddy’s Jeep and got it swamped by Dorian.

I went to a public high school in Baltimore way back in the early 60's. In my homeroom, we had a couple of Jewish people, a Greek, a couple of Germans, several of Polish descent, a couple Orientals, about a half dozen Black people and about the same amount of white people. I’m sure I missed somebody in there, but it’s…

Well, to be honest, I was out of the car market when the M3's were big. Spent 12 years OTR trucking, and not really paying much attention to cars (except for my LBC’s (Little British Cars).
