My daily driver of around 7 years has now turned 50 years of age. I love my 1966 Chevelle Malibu 8-) It has been a real nostalgia trip for me, as my first car back in the mid-70s through the mid-80s was the exact same model.

Ted Cruz’s roommate should chime in then just drop the mic and walk away.

How is this not COTD?!?

COTD material here!

I am an oldster and remember those bad boys fondly. I always loved the styling. However, it seems like they always would spin their wheels when someone tried to get moving on a steep hill.

So, they let blind people fly airplanes now?

Mainly watched for better views of the cute girlfriend. Even as an oldster, I still don’t get what cute girls see in some guys.

Why do these folks feel the need to edit out even him taking a breath, so that the video is a non-stop onslaught, without time to even think about what he is saying? So annoying.

So, instead of a light coming on, you actually would begin to stutter when the gas ran out, but then you…

You call that an unlikely tow vehicle? Pfft. I used to regularly tow my catamaran sailboat behind an early 80s VW Rabbit. A DIESEL Rabbit! I think the boat was two feet wider than the car, lol.

^bated^ I hope!

Are we sure it wasn’t actually an allergic reaction to lip injections?

Leprosy on the arm?

Sounds creepily similar to the antics of my advisor in graduate school. Even physicist get creepy.

I can make this worse! I looked up the price of a PT Cruiser of similar vintage in excellent condition and your Mercedes is only worth a couple of grand more than a PT Cruiser. Sorry.

So, water’s not a good transmission lubricant? Noted.
