Only problem? The bed has to be unloaded to make the change. On a work truck, the bed is never empty. We just use a stretch cover when it rains. The hard-tops are for security, again when the bed is full of bags of concrete or god know what.

“Plus, they are much bulkier, heavier, costlier, maintenance intensive and perform much worse”

I see rust in the engine bay. $25K for this car and it should be sealed in plastic bag and have the original paper floor mats... 5.0's are for hot rodding.

I’m sure you’re well aware how valuable Giuliettas are right now...

I expect to be driving only mid 20th century vehicles until they ban us from driving altogether...

GGD thats ugly...

They shoulda stuck with Alta instead of gutting them.

Spiderman is too good for a Manx? Does he think he’s cooler than Steve McQueen??

Hopefully never... the 60's thankfully course-corrected to less flash and more substance, in every design discipline I can think of.

The Hyundai is gorgeous, this Mercedes does nothing for me for some reason. Giugiaro would disagree with you on droopy rear ends. Only thing I would change is the interior... this is begging to be a driver’s car.

Theoretically there’s a perfect coolant compound for every mill (iron, alum, combo, water pump design...) to prevent electrolysis & corrosion. Phosphate and silicate levels are usually blamed. I’m not a chemist. But for instance GM dex-cool is known to be problematic in the wrong engines.

They should have hired Giorgio Giugiaro, then...

I think the Alfa is gorgeous... the Viper always looked like it was folding in half at the sills to me. Like someone welded two cars together at the A-pillar and didn’t get it quite square.

This is fairly normal stuff... it’s honestly how assembly was done for any hand-built car. Back when it took artisan bodymen to turn out good panel gaps. Closing the door on a block of wood is still a good technique for reshaping the door skin!

Everyone wants to sit higher and higher in traffic every year, for no good reason, to the effect that anyone driving a normal car can’t see shit.

This car is aggressively boring. I get why normal people buy cars like this, but a car enthusiast? This MGB GT is right across the border and it’s cheaper: https://greenville.craigslist.org/cto/d/tryon-1972-mgb-gt-optional-overdrive/7052421155.html

It’s a tough comparison... one of them is a dream car that the owner can actually drive on the street (if they wanted). The other is an intimidating LSR machine that probably needs to be parked in a museum or collection. The Bullitt Mustang is certainly more useful if you’re in the classic car world.

I for one don’t want the average person to have anything to do with styling my car. I don’t give a frack what they like. Shareholders care, but I’m a car enthusiast, not a corporation enthusiast.

Before they shuttered, anyone could buy an Alta Supermoto for 12.5K. And it was better designed than a Zero or Livewire (hence HD’s flirtation with backing them). Still blows my mind that they failed after making exactly what we all say we want in an electric bike, and with a concept as sexy as the redshift ST.

American Supercamp is the one to do.
