Top Tip - dum dum on the end of a zip tie. I had to use this when I dropped a non-metallic part down the lower intake on a CPI 4.3

I liked being able to get behind the wheel of several different makes at one time. Unfortunately I found out that most everything I was interested in my 6’3” frame would not fit - my knee hit the back of the steering wheel (BRZ, 370Z, etc). Interestingly I fit pretty well in a FiST.

By my estimation ALL illegal immigrants are criminals - hence the illegal part - calling them undocumented doesn’t change that fact.

May I suggest a temporary number 3 in black on the front doors and a large empty duffel bag on the rear seat. This may be enough to make people think you could be easily unhinged and they should give you a wide berth.

I wish y'all the best fighting the people who moved near your track. Lakeland International Raceway (where Two Lane Blacktop was filmed) closed in 1978 when developers terminated the land lease. The old strip is now the main road through a housing development.

I've seen a rotor worn down the the vanes. The service writer kept the keys so the QA person wouldn't drive it because the owner would not approve any work not covered by warranty. We made the customer sign a waiver to protect us.

I have always loved these cars even though they kinda look like a catfish

Mk1 Cortina 61-70% Jalop - figured it would be more due to the articles' lead photo

I dunno what to think about this guy

"Arbitrary" - Taking a semi-rural narrow two lane road that was marked for 45mph and widening it but then narrowing the lanes to add bike lanes, lowering the speed limit to 30, and making the new road more "calming" by making it unnecessarily curvy. This lasted a few months until the drivers complained and the limit…

Might I also suggest to drive/borrow a fairly nice and clean car when you show up at the dealership. Several years ago when I needed a replacement for the wife's totaled Regal I borrowed my dad's low mileage '96 Roadmaster - sales reps crawled all over themselves to get that car as a trade in (was not gonna happen).…

Like the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust?

Because Texas

I am currently looking for a Lincoln LS manual to snatch the drivetrain out of and drop in my Mk2 Cortina.

Lakeland International Raceway in TN met the same fate - a housing development now sits on the famous dragstrip used to film Two-Lane Blacktop. One of these days I am going to scan the pics I took of the abandoned drag strip during the early 90's.

I've always seen a lot of Mk II Cortina in the 510

Did something similar in college. During a football game someone going to the game blocked in a friends car in the non-commuter lot by our dorm. I pushed the offender into the aisle so campus cops would have no choice but to tow it. Land barge 1 - VW 0

Why did y'all stuff the ballot box on Bring A Trailer. As a BAT subscriber I didn't appreciate it and it was funny that your followers couldn't follow simple instructions

Agreed, my 8th gen Civic is just as long and wider than my first gen s-series Bravada. The Bravada was a perfect size for my needs AND could tow my 5x10 trailer easily due to the 4.3 V6 which was still getting 19 mpg daily driving to work with 237k miles on the clock. I miss the Bravada, but needed better mileage and…

Could you have not chosen a different name instead of sullying the name of the best sports car ever - may I suggest renaming it "miata"
