When I worked at my parts store, what we would do (if we were busy) is take down all the customers car info and tell them we would call them back in 5 minutes with a quote. Shockingly, people responded better to this than sitting on hold, especially if you look up their parts and quite then when you ring them back.…

Autozone is the absolute worst. Their employees are usually young, uneducated and have rarely turned a wrench, but are hired because they are cheap part-time labor. They train them to use the computer system and set them free. I usually go to Napa, O’Reilly, and then autozone as a final resort.

This seems obligatory being this is gawker and all....

Not around here (SoCal). Any Ford fastback=gold. I’m about tired of the used/classic car market/culture here. What a car lacks in rust is replaced by outrageous mileage, and every seller is looking to get over on someone it seems

Car was originally a 289 car, previous owner swapped in a stock late 60's 302. I added a 4 barrel Holley and gt-40 heads that I had laying around. It’s just a cruiser....factory a/c (still works!), bench seat, column shifter. Nothing optioned or fancy.

I bought this before fully realizing the desirability and collectability of the fastback models. If I could do it over again....

Thanks man. Those are the Ford “GT” wheels, mine are chrome repops though.

Good to see non-mustang Classic fords getting love. I always loved a well done fairlane or Galaxy. They are kind of the forgotten dark horses of the muscle era. Perhaps I’m a bit biased though; I have a 68 hardtop....

Oh man, until now I thought he was saying “Is Misty still your girl?”

No, kazoo

Sousaphones are most definitely not pretentious because they are the only horn you fucking wear to play. Not for those faint of heart, weak of body or short of breath!

I second the French horn suggestion.

When it comes to certain cars, I personally can’t bear to see someone buy a preserved, low mileage stock example (think unmolested fox body mustang, 240sx, or turbo Dsm) and start hacking away! I used to think otherwise, but after moving to California a few years back, it’s *SO* damn hard to find an older enthusiast’s…

Phillip Rivers just read this and is now attempting to sire a set of triplets.

I wasn’t sure if this article was for me until I read this. . .

As an OIF vet, I am 100% with you on this. It may sound cold to some, but before reading this, alot of this shit felt forced and obligatory to me. Knowing that this is all paid for makes me even more bitter. How about redirecting some of that cash to programs that help returning vets find jobs?

Uptight much? I bet your parents made you wait not a minute less than 30 minutes after eating before swimming.

You forgot to include the part where Marshall verbally slams the Bears like he has in every interview so far this year.

You say these two transgender individuals are judging the nutscapers.

John Jones reinstated into UFC, will presumably fuck up again.
