I have always heard them called turbine wheels, and you’re right, they look good on absolutely everything.

If AMC had only made this:

I owned a 1992 E350 with a 460. Great motor. I know the venerable 300 has a whole cult around it, but the 460 was a smooth, torquey beast.

Both are a common place to have your first homosexual encounter?

Meet “Van Morrison,” our onetime tow vehicle for our camper. With a 460 and a tow rating of 10,000 pounds, it would have towed our house. I took out all the seats and carpet and laid wood floor, with plans to turn it into a campervan, until we actually bought a trailer.

You, sir, are welcome on my lawn anytime.

Also, the window has closed on me ever owning a Chevy II wagon. They are made only of iron oxide or unobtainium anymore.

It’s not far off...

Strangely, clean Ramchargers seem to grow on trees down here on the Gulf Coast. Come on down and get you one. 

Sciroccos were so cool, every year they were made. And yeah, I’m shocked at myself that I would totally rock a Cutlass Calais these days given the opportunity.

One of the things that makes my wife so awesome is that she drove a 280Z way, way back in the day, and says would own another one. Datsun Z cars are on an extremely short list of cars I have permission to just show up with at home one day. Believe it or not, permission is not the hard part, finding one is.

Truly, rivaled only by its successor.

That’s that’s how I let go of my 1995 GTI that I had finally ironed all the inherited problems out of. Between hidden abuse and typical VW electrical adventures, I had to dump a ton of money in that car. I sold it to downsize for a move. Damn, that kid got a great car. It was a nicer car when I sold it than when I…

This is very nearly the platonic ideal for station wagons. Other than perhaps a Vista Cruiser or a Country Squire with wood paneling on the side, if you want an American wagon, this is the one you want.

One one of my favorite cars I’ve ever owned was bought under duress in a similar way: my 1995 Cherokee Sport. I was leaving a bad relationship where we were sharing her car, and I needed a vehicle by sundown that day. One of the most practical, fun to drive, and dead nuts reliable vehicles I’ve ever owned. I sold it…

As one who terribly misses a 1983 Celica GT, my condolences, fellow 22R-E bro.

Pound for pound, you got nearly 300% more car in that trade.

Wow, this is the first time I’ve ever even heard of a white 944, much less seen one.

1) 1983 Toyota Celica GT. My second car, and the first one I ever had that could chirp the tires at gear changes. Still one of the tightest handling cars I’ve ever owned.
