I’m considered just shy of a Trotskyite, yet I hate the subsidies for these cars. It appears to me that previous “tax breaks” went straight to Elon’s pocket. Why give money to an industry already unable to meet demand?

My feel of Steve McQueen was he was perpetually looking in the mirror to see if he was able to carry off that “macho thing” for the public. James Garner always seemed like he was kind of surprised that people actually wanted to see him race. Egomaniacal vs. self-effacing. No choice.

You have to give Ward credit - he knows his demographic. Some studio guy with a newly minted fortune will see this and have his assistant make a call. I would’ve said music producer, but that has been de-moneyed in recent years.

As I read the " this is inevitable " BS, I am more convinced that gearheads will resist this trend as the right to repair dodge that it is. People, sometimes we have to wake up and call these bullshit artists for what they are.

You mean to tell me we have yet another example of truth being no defense? I realize to fund a nation of lawyers and legislator/lawyers we need to have absurdities for them to explain to us stupid laymen, but what is this poor victim doing in jail? I guess if Clarence and Brett and Amy are one third of our highest (?)…

You have never swapped a front drive transmission. I wouldn’t do it for $1000/hr. with three assistants in a dry heated garage. Well, maybe, with those conditions....

I will admit their party seems to have a knack for using this device. Wasn’t our good friend R.M. Nixon pre-emptively pardoned by Gerald Ford? That I now believe it to have been a good thing in ‘74 (75?) doesn’t mute the righteous indignation I felt at the time. Who would believe they’d come to this again? 

Remember when it was hard to achieve 500 horsepower? 

This has exposed Warren as the hypocrite I’m guessing he has always been. All the platitudes and sympathetic bromides he spewed about his secretary paying more tax than he does (as a percent of wages) came up against his core beliefs and were found wanting. I guess not only can you not teach an old dog new tricks, a…

We’re doomed. If this is the best of the best, we do not have a chance to save the shows as they are/were. I guess in the same vein Xerox and Bell Labs did all the real heavy lifting in the personal computing world, I am hoping someone else has already figured out the solution for the new reality - it just has yet to…

I believe someone once said, “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar”

I cannot recall where I saw several of these for sale including two McBurnie specials. The range of prices was $10-17,000. The one five speed was a 305 car, and if I recall, the cheapest. This has to be ...... I got nothing. Like me asking $100k for my Road King because I loaned it to Guitar Murphy to cruise up to…

Knute Qvale made us take this car’s twin (in 1982) to get ten diesel Rabbits we needed for a delivery service. It was assumed it would have a birthday in stock and be generally sale-proof. I put a cassette in it and expected to drive it all summer, but the damn thing sold the next weekend. Made in Westmoreland.

Having survived both in a 1961 C pickup with a six and a three on the tree, I’m happy to report I suffered only a smashed zygoma and a broken nose. The surgeon said it was repaired with a No.2 flat screwdriver and some wire. That damned “safety” equipment is over-rated. (he said with tongue firmly in cheek)

No less than Robert Cumberford agreed with you.

OK, what are the damn rocker panels, Joe?

I am glad my initiation to riding was on back country logging roads and hiking trails of the 1960's. It taught basic balance at low speed while reinforcing a respect for large immovable objects. Nothing, however, prepares you for laying down a 900 pound Harley and being unable to pick it up. Good on you for being…

This is too cool. My Father, born 1916, was the definition of chauvinist, but believed in his sisters (a family of 15) and his daughters and sons being able to do anything either one was capable of doing. Ergo, I can sew (marginally) and my sisters can all change not only a tire but also their oil or an oxygen sensor…

Groupthink, writ large.

The nest of snakes intimidated me when they were new and had factory warranty. Why would anyone volunteer to be abused by this vehicle?
