I do and I love them. I have an ‘85 with 260k on the clock to prove it.

I think we have quite a bit in common if you lived near Kannapolis, NC we could combine and conquer. My list (in no particular order)...

oh and don’t forget the 15-20% inflation adjusted price increase.

agreed... that comparison Truck Yeah did not long ago on the 1986 model v. the 2016 model... how crazy. 2800 lbm v. 4000 lbm curb weight.

How about less over-inflated drama with a bunch of idiots who aren’t really car guys and are just trying to make a lot of money from performing half-assed resto-mod job. I wouldn’t trust much of any of these guys/girls to change the oil in my 93 Accord. If you are restoring a car and the first thing you do is throw a…

I think Discover might have this covered I think it is called ‘Cuban Chrome’ or something like that.

Easy... Spending at least 50% of the time you planned to work on your own stuff looking for the wrench you laid down somewhere mere minutes earlier.

I should really take my mom up on her offer to take me clothes shopping. This sweater and blue shirt are getting a bit stinky.
