Only if you are a snowflake....

I once owned a 1962 F-100, and, yup, the tank was right behind the seat. The gas gage didn’t work, but all I had to do was reach around the seat and rap my knuckles on the tank to get an idea of how much gas was still inside. As for “crash protection” on that truck, well, there was very little; it had a metal dash and…

Sweet mother of god! They have NUT COVERS????????

Unfortunately, Jalopnik probably has 6 months of life left at best. Those remaining are here only because nobody else would hire them....

What about Hudson? The best moonshiners all knew that a Hudson Terraplane 8 was faster than a Ford......

Very interesting, but they only tested for horsepower. The primary reason for having an air filter is, and has always been, to filter crap out of the air before it gets into your engine and damages stuff. The big stuff is easy; even a screen can catch leaves, rocks, etc. But things like microscopic sand particles,…

Can we add “Yakkety Sax” to the audio on that clip?

Mennonites own a lot of these in my area. It seems that their is a casual taxi/van service used by the Amish to get to the city for doctor appointments, or to get to the airport/train/bus stations, and things like that.

Mobile Phrenology? Oh, brother......

Likewise, I think the Chevette should also be removed from consideration, since it WAS an Opel design, and it is likely that they just modified pre-existing Euro-standard tail lights for this car.

That Future Shock video-wow. I guess as long as you gave him a good cigar and a ride in a nice Daimler, Orson Welles would do ANYTHING for you? Gosh, what a hack he ended up being, plugging cheap wine on TV commercials and such. What a way for a once-great actor to end up...

Damn. I’m not a fan generally of LED headlight replacements, but if I had your car, I’d buy them!

Back in the early 90's, I drove a tractor-trailer for a large freight company who had many auto plant contracts, and I was an automotive-specific driver during that time to 2 different Canadian auto plants. The first was the Camaro/Firebird plant at Ste. Therese, QC, then later I supplied the Ford Windstar plant in…

I guess my big contention is about his slavish interest in the Schwinn brand name to the detriment of nearly all others. Choosing even the best Schwinn of this era is little better than looking for a good Camaro, then buying a 1980 Z-28 because it was the best thing they made that year, a year where nearly everything…

What he has is a “Mississippi” Schwinn, built in that short period when Schwinn was trying to keep making their ‘higher end’ bikes in the U.S., but not in Ohio, where they had been made for decades (only the Paramounts were still made in Chicago by then). Of course, back in 1987, $600 was hardly ‘high end’; a Cannondal…

Wouldn’t it have been easier to just tow it to Hungary, and register it there?

A friend in high school had one of those atrocities. Underneath, it was pretty much a Vega....

My experience recently buying a new Subaru was this; I just let them ramble on about their offerings, asked for a calculator, punched all the numbers in, came up with, then said, “I’ve never had a car cost me $xxx for repairs during a similar timeframe, so I’ll pass”. Also, since I don’t like being tied-down to having…

Former trucker here with a warning: there ain’t shit on I-94! 

Yes, but the discontinuous parts are connected by the Trans-Canada Highway.
