I also think 1 mpg is probably within most people’s margin of error for driving a pickup.

Agreed. 1 mpg is probably close to the margin of error of the test cycle. Most people can get more than that by changing their driving style, if so inclined.

And then we write articles telling everyone not to do that!

Disc brakes and better bulbs are the first two things i do to any classic that is in my possession.

Since the car only has lap belts, the steering column is the only thing keeping you from going through the windshield.

Correct, if stock is sacred, then just put it in an air conditioned room and don’t drive it.

I was sure that this would be about a collapsible steering column, but brakes are good, too.

I had a 64 falcon with a solid steel dash. Not sure here, but 3 point belts should be a must

My Corvair had a single-bowl brake master, but I was okay with that because it was only running on two of its six cylinders and I don’t think I could have gotten up the speed to actually hurt anything.

Lowering the budgets of the Grand Tour would make the show watchable again. Some of those specials just seemed like they asked Amazon for “all the money” and were left to create something expensive.

I’ve often thought about building out a Cobra kit (like a Factory Five) with my Dad. We spent most of my childhood/early adulthood wrenching away on everything from family vehicles to farm equipment and heavy trucks and I literally grew up in our shop. He’s since…

Honda design all around has just gotten weird in the last few generations. They do not make attractive cars. 

how long until the clean simple robot language of the E again becomes the standard for Honda?

its a stupid ugly detail.

Yeah.. second thing I saw on it.  And I’m not a fan.

The nose/forehead thing above the grille looks a bit strange, at least in white. I can see why the last gen and current Accord color that part black or chrome. The way the hood panel just floats above the body, disconnected from every other styling element, is a bit strange. The taillights look like crap. I realize…
