I’d still rather have this Renoca Wonder:

They really hosed the specs here by giving single data points for vehicles that come in a range. The shortest F150 wheelbase is listed, but you can get one that’s 163 inches long. A Super Duty gets up to 176 inches.

Yes! I did. In fact, the day I learned of his passing, I went for a drive and listened to it because I just needed to hear his voice. I cried a lot that morning. But when I listened, I just smiled and laughed as he told his stories. I absolutely love when he mentions to someone that he parked Orville Wright’s car.…

good read 

10/10, would sticker

Can you point out what misinformation this site (Jalopnik) provided?

Just then the orb changed from red to green.... The distant sound of guitars started to be heard:

After the laughter and nervousness of the big bowl of keys had subsided, John knew and was satisfied that Joanne was to be his navigator and tent mate for the weekend. What he didn’t know was that he was to be her quarry, and the game had commenced when they removed the IH Scout’s top, and was irreversibly shifted into…

Fact check: Misleading.

Bigger.

A Hornet Sportabout resto-rod would be pretty sweet.

I’ve been onboard that thing! I did a VMware implementation for Scripps on their other big research ship in San Diego and got a tour of it in horizontal mode - it was tied up on the other side of the pier. It is seriously freaky inside - like an M.C. Escher drawing come to life. It’s very, very cool. And so are the…

In WW1 and WW2 the big cruise liners were converted into hospital ships and troop ships.

BUT IT HAS NEVER BEFORE ITCHED AS MUCH AS EVERY PART OF IT DOES IN THIS VERY MOMENT

I used to live next to a field like that. My dad was chasing cellists out of it on a weekly basis. Nothing worse than trying to have a nice conversation with your family and hear an AMC pull into the field. You just knew that it was a matter of minutes before all you could hear was screeching cellos.

Good thing you didn’t get it. These were motor-pool queens, great idea but horrid reliability. I had to sign for several dozen vehicles as part of a training package once upon a time. These were lined up in the back with multiple drip pans under each. I didn’t have to sign for them because the contract mechanics were…

Jalops when finally confronted with the car they say they always want:

No more so than VW air-cooled engines, which cockroaches will be fixing 20 million years from now. A Corvair-fan friend once told me that if he needed someone to work on it, he’d take it to a VW mechanic and tell them “Just treat it like a VW with two extra cylinders”...and invariably, the mechanic would be completely …

There is a distinct smell, light diesel, some machine oil, some leftover almost-ozone and a hint of that smell-taste you get on a hot day holding a handful of spare change [sort of metallic, I really can’t describe it but just get sweaty and hold a handfull of pennies and nickles] I find it oddly comforting and even…
