I’m pretty sure most of us, given the choice, would want a lovely, precise gated shifter for our manual cars.

You just described my hesitance to align myself with anything too closely. Cars, video games, wrestling, politics etc. Fanatics of anything freak me out.

Since you obviously know so much, maybe you tell us what powertrains, colors, and prices will be...

Hoping for Chevelle here because we sure as hell aren’t getting anything like the original.

They claim they deleted the spare tire... ...for fuel economy.

*shrug* Why do the British have a ‘rear fog light’...in addition to the other,two brake lights found on all cars?

Because illuminated dashboards are better? Using the dashboard lighting as an indicator for the headlights is dumb and unintuitive. You were forced to learn this spurious connection, but that doesn’t mean it is the right way to do it, or that people inherently recognize it.

I believe he literally means “me-too”.

I like to know why manufacturers decided to have the dashboard always be illuminated and thus people thinking their lights are on when in fact only their bright DRL’s are on.

So really you only wear a watch so you can bring up that you also fly. Nice.

This guy is one of my favorite car guys. He was featured earlier on Petrolicious with his XJR-15. Jasbir Dhillon is the Jalop I want to be when I grow up.

and for cheap equipment, plastics, and all that... it still cost 80 grand and is too small for anyone over 5'9" to drive.

Yeah, because no car company has ever used plastic in their cooling system before...

my first vehicle (shared between my brother and I) was a ‘72 Chevy Luv. when we got home it was pretty tatty.. dents and dings, paint chipping, etc.. my dad used it as a kinda vehicle maintenance classroom for us. that’s when I learned how to pull dents, repack bearings, change out brake pads/shoes, even learned how…

They don’t care. They know that people will still line up for their ugly, bloated vehicles and sign a 96 month loan to drive one back & forth to the office. They only sell small trucks in markets where people are generally to poor to afford and operate their monstrosities.

Small trucks with long beds.

I guess it wasn’t too long after the Summer of Love and we don’t have those anymore, so it makes sense. I had a LUV Mikado for a time and that was a damn good truck.

Also just remember that Opponaut Archduke Maxyenko made this gem, which almost nobody gets when I wear it in public:

Those of us that have rare/modified/awesome cars refuse to take our cars to quick tubes. Save 15 minutes for all the stress of someone else effing up my car... no thanks.

But how many average consumers change their own oil anymore?
