This dad prefers khaki colored cargo shorts. You know, so I have a place to put my stuff.

In ‘87 the engine was rated for 175 bhp and 245 ft-lbs. Previously, the numbers were exactly the same as the 305.

Cut the price in half, maybe. But, honestly, having an unmolested example would be pointless because I’d feel bad about ripping that 305 out, throwing it in a pond, and dropping in an LS so the car will actually be interesting/fun.

It’s kinda cool and all, but it’s... A Fiero. Something something lipstick on a pig.

It was a V6? My memory must be fading. I remembered it as a V8.

Is that a Mustang laying on its side? Were they trying to show it’s natural resting position post-Cars And Coffee?

Maybe I’m missing some fundamental rich person mentality, but if you have enough coin to lease a car like this, why can’t you just buy it outright? Although I guess the mortgage on a multi-million dollar house and boarding school tuition add up...

With that kind of power, I bet things continue to break. All those beefed up parts are bolted to something, and I doubt all that something has been beefed up.

Just an observation here: If the old man had bought, say, a Corvette ZR1 instead of a Smart Car, he probably could have accelerated like he meant it and this whole incident could have been avoided.

My wife’s old car, a ‘97 Saturn SC2, would take on water in the trunk whenever it rained. Try as I might, I could not find the source. I even went so far as to completely caulk the sunroof shut (it didn’t work anyway) and I caulked around the edges of the trunk. No luck. Finally, I gave up and drilled holes in the…

All these years and I never knew that. Huh.

Ah, yes... The Cadillac Lumina. I distinctly remember thinking when those came out that in time they would be relegated to the same dustbin as the Cimarron.

For that kind of money, there HAS to be some undisclosed problem. But assuming the ad is true and/or the hidden problems aren’t catastrophic, NP all day long.

I wonder if I could cram that engine into my Miata...

I seem to recall that copper is a better conductor anyway, but needs to be replaced more often.

I was trying to figure out the same thing...

Fun fact: When they measure the width of the tire (those first three numbers in the size), good manufacturers (think Michelin) actually use the width of the tread that is contacting the pavement while cheap-o tires (think Sears Guardsman) measure sidewall to sidewall where the tire is fatter, but the actual contact…

There was this time I skipped school, as did my best friend Cameron, then we lied about my girlfriend’s grandmother dying to get her out of school. My buddy Cameron’s dad had this Ferrari 250 GT California in the unlocked garage, so we “borrowed” it to drive to downtown Chicago for a day of fun. We left it at a…

How long until some dudebro lifts one (more) and adds truck nutz and a hi-lift sticker?
