That is a great little bit of artwork, isn’t it? A little Rat Fink, a little Weird-Ohs, a joyful grin, and that glorious triumphant fist-pump.

Ah, the old “hide stuff in the bed of a pickup” routine. A classic...

Shoot, you’re right... so do I divide by 2.2, or multiply by 25.4? I always forget...

I was just about to psot something very similar. NASCAR and F1 and Indy are covered to death everywhere else. I’d love to read about a first-timer’s experience with rallycross, or the trials and tribulations of starting out in Formula Vee, or even the Friday night demolition derby, for that matter. More “fun stuff you…

So... could that out-accelerate your Changli, or no?

Neutral: Spent the weekend tinkering with my $500 Corolla beater. It had one bad engine mount, and I didn’t know which one, so I decided to replace all 4, because they’re cheap. Three of them are relatively easy, but the rear one can’t be replaced without unbolting and lowering the front crossmember, because it has…

It’s Canadian irony, so only like 80% as ironic as ours with the exchange rate.

They could merge it into Cadillac pretty easily under the new naming scheme; just call it “Buiq.”

I love the color... the rest of it, not so much.

Was just about to post this. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier when a myth was “Confirmed.”

And sometimes it’s a safety issue:

Had to look them up to know what the hell you were talking about. Never seen that before, and I’ve been going to car shows all my life. Creepy and weird indeed.

This is kinda what I meant about the guy who’s moving to LA and thinks he wants a convertible. On a back country road with little or no traffic, windows and/or top down is the only way to fly. But in city traffic, it sucks. You can just feel the grime in the air stick to you, and you have to smell everyone else’s…

Yeah, I know. I just really feel sorry for the folks who live along there. They all decided “Hey, let’s take a break from it this year for everyone’s safety” and these jackasses have to take it upon themselves to invade the neighborhood anyway, because they feel like it’s their “right” to do so. And you KNOW that any…

Wouldn’t it be funny if the communities got together and closed the street for “emergency sewer repair” that day?

It annoys me that a lot of people seem to think that the only reason to buy a car like this is because it’s “all you can afford.” I love cars like (some of) these, not because they’re cheap, but because they’re straightforward, honest, sturdy, and unpretentious. Sure, you can buy a used car with more crap on it for…

Six-cylinder four-speed convertible sounds like an uncommon configuration. I guess it shows how “ala carte” the options lists really were back then. But I like it. And it looks really original, which is refreshing, considering how many “Grandpa’s Old Axe” Mustangs there are around. And it’s the second-best early…

“Drift The Yellow Brick Road”?

Happens so often I barely notice anymore. I think my MG had a taste and now it wants more...

I’ve always kinda felt like a car is “yours” in proportion to the number of fasteners on it which you have removed and reinstalled. By this measure, my MG is “really mine” (I’ve had the engine down to the bare block & crank, replaced U-joints, installed a whole new exhaust, and rewired the whole car), as was my old…
