“Neither title contender deserved to lose this year’s championship, especially not in an unforeseen manner like this.

One word, that is, one additional revenue stream, and this business is worth millions. Or $6,000. Would you believe $600?

The next generation of car enthusiasts need to know that ninety nine out of 100 people who try to modify their car(s) will do it poorly. The resale value of their car will go down. Pity. But the one percenters will become superstars, or at least earn a good living, building machines that the rest of the next…

5th Gear: Now leather is bad? So every time I and 200 of my fellow barbarians eat a steak, we should just throw away the skin?

Serious question here. Are you saying that NHTSA overlooks faults or that the Euros don’t hold automakers to a standard that keeps unsafe cars off the road?

Hey guy. I don’t see how Elizabeth’s deep dive into the greasy side of car enthusiast is of zero value. I think it’s pretty darn valuable and interesting because I suspect there are a lot of enthusiasts who never raise their hood. I applaud her for taking the plunge as it seems to me there are two worlds - at least -…

Didn’t he write Dracula ?

“Anglo-international - For mechanics that like to tinker. Once only catering to mechanical engineers they are now branching out to electrical engineers. Bridging cultures of style and pain.”

Ours had to be somewhere from a ‘70 to ‘72 Cutlass because I recall it to be a beautiful white hardtop coupe, bought new. Maybe the prettiest car my folks ever owned. But they didn’t have it long as something in the valvetrain or cylinder head failed and it wasn’t worth the expense to have it repaired. Perhaps it was…

The most famous of the IMSA racing Monza cars were the DeKon Monzas, which kicked Porsche 934/935 rear end in the mid-1970s.

And in keeping with the theme of this article, my Mom once had a Cutlass Supreme in the 70s. I thought it was a nicely styled car and had no problem with its name, but its mechanical bits lasted less time than the crab legs at a Pirate themed Vegas buffet.

I enjoyed this article. And I’ve always thought Kinja was a great platform.

I didn’t say that cars built under a capitalist system were necessarily good or of high quality. Just that capitalism, because it encourages competition, usually provides consumers with a lot of choices and people enjoy the freedom to choose. Car choices that offer the most favored combinations of quality, price, power…

Colin Chapman had nothing on you. You, David Tracy, are the master of adding lightness.

Let me add, as a self-centered, somewhat conservative, but not MAGA-lovin’ Boomer, that Pontiac built more than 500,000 cars badged as GTOs in four generations, with a tremendous assortment of body styles, engines and transmissions. And at the same time, Pontiac was building millions of cars in scads (technical term)…

True, GM killed Pontiac.

You drove a GTO because you wanted to! Freedom!

I just spent $208 to fly across the United States of America. The seat wasn’t terribly comfortable and if I had wanted to carry proper sized luggage, it would have cost me $100 more. But I had a couple changes of clothes and my computer, so I was good.

She’s the spawn of Mrs. Satan and Chuck Norris. I understand she lifted that semi-truck off her head.
