Almost 20 years ago, I sold a ‘67 Eldorado I fixed up in my garage, and I still get misty-eyed missing it.  It’s hard to say good-bye to project cars; they’re special.  

I always add a dirt bike to the bed:

So, the race transmission is kind of like a heavier-duty motorcycle transmission. Pretty cool.

The driver failed in his civic duty.

My goodness, he looks like Jack Klugman.

Not the first time god/Molech/the universe tried to intervene, either. This is from 2014 (notably, it happened on Sept. 11th):

My great grandfather had a 1968 AMC Rebel sedan. It was white, with a turquoise interior, the inline six engine, auto trans, and power nothing. When I was in junior high, he and my great grandmother took me in for several months after my parents’ divorce forced the sale of our house, and we were going to be moving to…

I want one, I don’t care how slow it is.

Good grief, more than half of the video is just talking about the car. If you want to see it in action, start about 10 minutes in.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but, IMO, the absolute worst are the “In loving memory of...” stickers. They’re almost always affixed to vehicles that look like they’re a solid pothole hit away from dying themselves. Perhaps that teal green 1995 Ford Taurus with a gold rear bumper from a junkyard (which somehow…

Yeah, we have a platform with railing. Would OSHA approve? The answer is no; OSHA is disappointed. Always.

Needed a pretty standard bearing. Told them the exact dimensions of the bearing. Couldn’t find the bearing without inputting some kind of vehicle information. Told them it wouldn’t be in their system since it’s for a motorcycle, and they should be able to just look on the shelves to see if they had one. Blank stares,…

We use our forklifts to lift people all the time, so, I’d say that counts as transporting passengers. Plus it has lights, a seat belt, brake lights, turn signals, traction control, etc. I’d qualify it as an automobile.

Couldn’t they affix a rubber wheel of some sort to a power drill and run it up against the flywheel or something? It would seem like there has to be a better way to do this.

I had a 1967 Eldorado that I had bought as a pile, fixed up, then daily drove for several years back in the late 90s. It wasn’t pristine, but it was pretty decent, and I loved it. I bought a new truck, and couldn’t afford to keep the Caddy, so I sold it to a young guy who said he loved it and said he had big plans to…

In college, the transmission in my car died (‘80 Buick Skylark; yeah, it was a piece of junk), and I needed a new one. My dad gave me a little money, and I found an ‘84 Ford Ranger that I liked, and was in my price range, at a local dealer. It wasn’t in great shape, but it worked, and seemed to run fine, so I bought…

Wouldn’t the M0del T be considered a modular vehicle?

Price is too high, so CP, but wouldn’t this look cool turned into an El Camino style truck?

Fixodent and forget it!

Book. Brain. Humanity. Some assembly required.
