Wow, I also put Corvette wheels on my mystic teal 98 firebird! Small world.

So that leaves me thinking, for whatever reason, that this dip into the layer of batteries could have some strange safety implications. I’m imagining a handgun going off in the footwell and easily piercing many layers of batteries and causing a very quick fire/explosion. Obviously that’s just about a worst case…

I agree, but another exception has to be made for tan tops: green cars. That is all.

Judging by the name, I'm guessing it's an Australia-only model.

My first car was a DIFFERENT 98 firebird with T-tops, and thankfully mine never leaked when it rained, but at highway speeds you could hear air leaking out of them. Kind of annoying, but I still really miss the T-tops.

I’ve had the firebird for over 2 years now. The 3800 v6 is extremely reliable (and has some fun torque), the only issues I’ve had have stemmed from the previous owner letting it sit for a really long time, and the dex-cool ate away at some rubber gaskets. After replacing a bunch of gaskets though, it’s run strong for…

I have a 98 Firebird and had a 2002 Camaro, and the visibility is way better than in most modern cars despite the rake. Really, the rake only cuts into how high your field of vision is, and that’s not very important on the road. The horizontal and rear visibility is great compared to 5th gen+ Camaros.

Honestly, I don’t mind. My main gripe with touchscreens is that you usually have to look away from the road or your gauge cluster to do anything useful (since you can’t navigate the controls by feel), but if it’s that big, they might as well put useful buttons right up by the steering wheel. However, if there’s…

I did that move once by accident at 70mph driving through Iowa in the rain last summer

He’s the man whose name you’d love to touch... but you mustn’t touch!

Yes, they need to stop reporting on it, starting the day before its official reveal.

Don’t worry, this happened in AUSTRALIA.

They say violet wind is a precursor to purple rain!

hey, I didn’t say it wasn’t!

Regardless of preference for combustion-powered automobiles, I’m just glad to see a mainstream RWD platform that isn't targeted at luxury or sports car buyers. It's about time.

To think we almost got a 2003 refresh of the firebird/camaro, in an alternate timeline they may have made this list. Damn you, GM!!!

Nobody seems to have pointed out that he was clearly staying to the right side of a dashed line. It almost looks like he thought he was keeping within a lane or taking an exit until it was too late, but the microsleep explanation makes sense too.

It’s also gotta have a military-style metal gas can on the back, despite the bed being totally empty 99% of the time.

FIRE 👏 BIRD 👏

but time zones!!!!
