..sigh....David, you need to face some facts here. You already have, what 8 non-functioning cars on your property, and yet you want to add more? I’m surprised your township hasn’t sent you a letter yet about your personal junkyard.

A few months from now:

Yes, seriously? You could’ve fitted 2 LS motors in there, but instead you chose 500 ci. in Cadillac lumps? Why???? Heck, this thing would’ve been ‘over the top’ with 2 3.8l V-6 motors!

Alas, this was from Georgeana’s attempt at mass-marketing. Today, the “Terry” name is only for women’s cycle clothing; ‘Georgeana Terry’ still makes custom bikes, but few of them. What you found was just an old oddity, certainly nothing valuable or collectible. Her design ideas hit a market sector few noticed before,…

Nah, it’s just that then Pinto-Mustang rusted so quickly that a lot of junkyard R&P steering gears were available.

As pathetic as the Mustang II was, at least you COULD get it with a V-8, albeit a 302 2bbl with a whopping 120 hp.

Also, when did wearing an old t-shirt on your head become acceptable?

So.......how well did having Grace being Honda’s spokes-androgen work? did she scare enough people into buying the Elite? Did they offer helmets that would fit her foot-high fade?

Even medical-related products are being delayed. I’m on dialysis, so taking protein supplements is important. I’m also lactose-intolerant, so most of those grocery-store brands won’t work. Most of the rest of then taste awful. A year or so ago, I found an orange-flavored protein drink I actually like. It’s like…

Jason, your suggestion is way off the mark. Being 6'3" tall, I can tell you what happens when I get into an MG midget (which is a larger car than the Beat you recommend): My eyes are at the level of the top of the windshield frame, and I can’t see a thing in front of me! A Miata would’ve been a much better suggestion.

Loewy was often full of crap, and his designs, while nice, were often just putting lipstick on a pig. His work with Studebaker made their cars more sellable, but otherwise Studebakers were noted for being dull, stodgy cars. Have you ever heard anybody rave about how well the Avanti handled? No, you haven’t.

To be a true ‘shooting brake’, it has to be a specialized luxury vehicle owned by a member of the gentry, kept at his country estate, to be used only for hunting expeditions. This is obviously just an economy car (notice the uncovered spare?) owned by a plebeian couple. Not a tweed in sight......

Of course, with the weight of a body on it, they wouldn’t be toed-in like that.

Yes, same as DKW and early SAABs....as well as WW1 era Renaults.

I was going to say DKW, but the same thing (more or less).

Wow, left-foot braking should be the easier part. I first learned “cab driver braking” as a way to avoid rear-end collisions in heavy traffic, and worked my way up from there. But, with an automatic, maybe it’s easier because covering the brake would be the only thing it’s doing.

I’ve always thought that Renault especially was pushing the cost-savings a bit too far with 3-lug wheels. On a car with 5 lugs, if you break a stud, no problem, just wait for the weekend to fix it. Even a broken stud on a 4 lug wheel will at least allow you to drive home. Three lugs? you’re calling a towtruck.

I’m just old enough to remember seeing these things occasionally on the road when I was a kid. Living in Boulder back in the 60's, there were a lot of odd cars around, and some college student from California on my street had one. I remember when he would start it up, clouds of blue smoke would come out the tail pipe…

As a cyclist, mechanical engineer and an amateur wheel-builder, I’d trust Jobst’s opinion over some rando on Jalopnik......
