I like that carburetor and engine are probably synonyms for this lady. I don’t like that her van burst into flames though

I’m guessing it was actually a faulty turbo

That sounds ambitious by Chrysler standards.

So how do you know if the dealership you’re going to is a reputable business and they aren’t selling lemons?

Chrysler plans to completely phase out the carburetor out by 2018.

For those of you who don’t know what I mean by this, please place your hand in the air and wave it around a little.

Oh good, you’ve restored my faith in the prevalence of Jalops in the wild. And I can see that this sort of attention would be far less exhausting than the Ferrari type.

I get a ton of attention — more than any other car I’ve ever owned. But the attention is awesome. It’s car enthusiasts who really know the car, rather than a bunch of people at a gas station with a pickup who only care how much it costs. It’s way more fun.

You really are just a 10 year old playing with toy cars and cameras, aren’t you?

I’m sort of surprised that you don’t get a lot of attention in that car. Are car nerds really so rare that people don’t even notice a RHD Skyline cruising through a well-populated area?

There is one other kind of person who still buys the Grand Caravan! The fleet manager at Avis.

“You can make out words” — this is high praise for my videos.

Yeah, but even the wagon doesn’t have three-row seating or the rearmost windows!

This particular car is a goddamn nightmare to drive. But high-beltlined cars aren’t necessary that bad to drive. I loved the 300 I rented a couple years back. Drove it from San Francisco to LA and back and never had any problems with visibility.

F-150 XL with no options. 6 cylinder engine, crank windows, no CD player, no carpet, no chrome, and steel wheels.

How is this even a question?

New cars ought to be designed to look good on 15” steelies. I’m not saying they should all have 15” steelies, but if the car’s appearance is so dependent on over-sized and over-styled rolling stock, it’s not going to age well.

This gem is for sale by be. If I could justify it with my wife, it would be mine...oh yes.
