It wasn’t just a aesthetic package. The most recent Bullitt (the one pictured) got the GT350 intake manifold, throttle body, and airbox for a +20hp bump over a GT.

The towing wars: Where Ford owners can puff their chest because the 2WD regular cab truck with the box, bumper, and radio delete that nobody will ever actually buy can tow more than the other company’s 2WD regular cab truck nobody will ever buy.

Torchinsky finally writes something I know about! How do I know about wonky Buick turn signals? My old man owned a 1941 Buick he restored when I was a youngster.

Remember the guy from Apple who took over running JC Penny? His plan was to say hell to all this sale-every-day shit and just lower prices across the board. It went something like this:

3rd Gear: What the contract says about salaried employees doing the work of hourly employees. Paragraph 215:
