I think at the end of the day this is just some goddam reliable transportation for less than 6 grand, without a catch.

Nineties cars were the best, they had figured out electronic engine management and so under good wasn’t a maze of vacuum hoses and electromechanical valves and such, airbags, ABS, reliable, generally not as bloated as modern cars.

Major surgery required for three pedals - including trans tunnel replacement from a donor Challenger, TCM, etc.. How do I know? I wanted to convert my 2012 SuperBee Smyth ute to 6 spd.. I quit counting at $10k for the conversion.

My actual first car was a free hand-me-down from my mom the year before I got my license when got she a new car rather than scrapping hers.

It’s funny we just called them trucker knobs.  Never heard the suicide knob or brodie name.  I always thought they were kind of dumb myself, mainly because when I’m turning in like  parking lot or sometimes making a turn to a side street I always used the butt of my hand, or whatever the proper term is for that pat of…

My first new car was a 1964 Plymouth Barracuda with the 273 c.i., V-8, 4-speed stick (a Hurst Mystery Shifter stock) in bright red.

In 2000 the local Chevy dealer had a great 1988 Honda Accord with a 5-speed. It was $800.

$250 in 1983 for a 1973 Pontiac Ventura with a straight six and a TWO-SPEED Powerglide automatic transmission.
