An angry wife pulling a gun on the receptionist of the Volkswagen dealership I worked at. Her husband, one of the salesmen, was cheating on her with one of the receptionists. She showed up and pulled a gun on the one at the front desk. It was the wrong one. In the end nobody got hurt, but that was pretty tense.

I’d say it’s the Mustang II, but I neither feel guilty about the fact that I love the things, nor do I hide it.

V8 stickshift 10th-gen F150 with less than 200k on the odometer and priced under $10k?

It was for this truck, I ran the VIN when I worked at a GMC/Buick/Cadillac dealership to verify it. I REALLY should have kept that truck.

I’ll argue the GMC/Chevy one all day.

NP all damned day.

Ford 4.9/300 I6: They built millions of them, not just for pickups, but for UPS trucks, airport equipment, oilfield equipment, generators, anywhere reliable torque was needed and speed wasn’t of the essence, these could be found. Some of the crazier gearheads out there have even built these into respectable…

The Cobra at least got spoilers, a hood scoop, and different wheels. The Mach was literally stickers.

Ford Mustang II Mach 1.

1977 Pontiac Trans Am in black and gold.

You are correct, not sure where my head was at this morning.

H6024, aka the 6.5" headlight that almost everything used before the 1980s.

To reinforce your point on the Maverick, in the rear view mirror, an approaching Maverick looks an awful lot like a cat-eye Silverado.

A beige 1992 Exploder for almost $7k? GTF... wait... it’s a stick?

Former BMW tech here. No dice at any price.

Anything old.

I’ve owned eight Mustangs. Three Mustang IIs (one of which I still have), three fox-bodies, and a pair of S197s. Suffice it to say, I love all Mustangs (except the Mach-E, that thing’s an abomination).

You bought one of those abortions. Your argument is invalid.

I’d argue that the Coyote is rivaled by the GM LS-family of engines. Even when I owned one (4.8 in a Sierra pickup) I couldn’t get over how much better an old small-block Chevy or Ford V8 of any kind other than the Coyote sounded. Even with a Dynomax exhaust on it, it only sounded “okay”.

GM 3800.
