An Olds diesel? Oh God no. I’d be fine with a 305, or even the 229 V6. But there’s a reason they only made 25 of these with this engine. It’s at least 26 too many. And this is about double the price it should be, regardless of what’s under the hood. It’s nice, but no show car.

STRAIGHT to the Lunar surface? Aren’t there enough craters up there already?

So you just overshoot? Interesting... and I can see how it would take some getting used to a normal car after that.

This brings up a question I first had about the old Honda Preludes with 4-wheel steering: doesn’t it make it harder to parallel park? You start backing in, then cut the wheel to bring the nose into the spot, and the back wheels steer away from the curb as you’re trying to back in. The geometry would be working against…

I didn’t say it was the only, or even the best, answer. I was just astonished not to see it mentioned at all.

How is an NA or NB Miata not the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind?

It’s not just cars; our house came with an old Kenmore washer and dryer from the early 80s. Both have labels on the back with a full wiring schematic and part numbers for service items like belts, right there on the machine itself. I’ve had to do various minor repairs on them in the last few years, but parts (which…

My first thought was Tahoe/Yukon, especially the wheel arches.

Even if you don’t race, just driving up it is an experience. I did it about 30 years ago, when it was still gravel, in my uncle Bill’s Jeep. That old AMC six got pretty wheezy at the top... but then, so did Uncle Bill. I still have my “I drove to 14,110 Feet” button somewhere.

It’s the Immortan Joe Family Truckster!

Well, the site’s not called “Newcarnik...”

This comment makes me happy I did not pursue the professional mechanic route I briefly considered, and it makes me love my early-70s British car all the more... the only “special tool” it needs is carb balancer.

That’s a Honda Civic, circa 1980 or so.

I like it! I could have done with a little less wheel, but this wears the modern wheels better than a lot of classics. Overall, it’s a good look, and subtle enough changes that it still looks like a P1800.

I have no opinion on this one. Some people like BMWs built after the mid-1980s; I don’t. Some people think a famous tuner’s influence raises a car’s value; I don’t. Someone will buy it; I would not.

1st: It’s a job requirement that the CEO of Rolls-Royce have a hyphenated last name, isn’t it? Although I would have expected something more like Lord Oliver Mosley-Skiffington, or something, but I suppose Rolls isn’t really British anymore.

Don Knotts was the “tough guy” selling Dodge trucks in the ‘60s?

Well, I have to admire your tenacity, that’s for sure.

J. W. Packard would like a word with you...
