I have no experience with obscure japanese microvans that never made it to america, but an old, high mileage car overheats, its usually the thermostat. probably not with a slow overheat, but if you plan on keeping it, change the thermostat anyway. Those things have been the problem on many of my friends’ cars. also,

I know your pain, my 79 trans am has a 2.45 rear axle ratio. that shit has got to go, I can only imagine a 2.65 in a caprice.

Im conflicted, both 76 and 80 had piss poor passenger cars, it seems to me to go down to the fact that the 1980s had the hope of a new decade of technology, but more cars in 76 still had decent styling. the trans am lost the 400 and got the terrible/potentially good 301 turbo in 80. its a bit of a toss up.

“the 77 charger daytona is sportier than ever”

If he does this I will be extremely interested in the generation he picks. my breakdown:

I get owning alot of junkers, really I do.

I would buy a new 80s 911 targa. Or even a turbo for that matter.

#7 you can do this. Kit cars. Isn’t the lancia 037 group b? A company called carteroni in NZ makes kits, I doubt that they would need much to be street legal in most states

lotus makes me sad. It's clear they can design the best chassis around. but they fail to realize most people are attracted to numbers. I don't think a n/a v6 is cutting it for most people at 60k. Love the style on the current gen cars.

They offered t tops because people paid money for them.

You bought one for the same reason I bought one. it is a cheap porsche. a good looking, cheap porsche. if it wasnt for the timing belt issue (and the snap oversteer, fuck BFgoodrich) I would wholly reccomend them to everyone. In my bitter post-porsche phase, I would reccomend a nice 280z or late 80s trans am myself.

So what, Im not allowed to like the styiling of the fourth gen trans am without being a dumb redneck? It is admittedly cartoonish as hell. I love it for the same reason I love lamborghinis. Exaggeration is a part of art. TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE. I accept that you dont like the styling, and I will agree that the interior

It is excellent to see kit car laws being expanded. It almost seems like our government wants us to have some fun again. What is this craziness?

Im going to keep driving my 6.6 liter desmogged v8 and laughing all the way.

At least in 20 some years when they are legal I may have the money to afford one haha

Looks like they worked on the visibility on that car. Can you finally see out of it? Before you would have probably driven over the edge of that canyon on accident.

These are cheap as hell right now at about 30-40k for a nice example, no exterior door handles, no a/c in many cases. A fun, reliable, horribly impractical car. Also the first gen r/t is the prettiest because I’m a 90’s baby.

None of this is new technology. It’s only combining tech we already have I.e full scale “rc” cars ala myth busters or autonomous car driving tech and one of those neural sensor helmets you can play video games with. Not really surprising

All I am praying for is that tvrs next revival brings back the sagaris. And then adds tech to get it us certified. Would that be too much to ask?

These guys are just worried that autonomous cars will put them out of a job. Because robots “never” make mistakes.
