An example of so much that was wrong with Detroit in the 70s. Ford should buy this car back and hide it from public view.

BMW has run hot and cold with design for decades, and some are downright ugly. This one is is bad, but it’s not the only ugly duckling to wear the propeller badge. Yes, they are (almost) all great cars to drive, but for the $$ they should also be great to look at, and this one just isn’t.

Boom

In Minneapolis where i live, Paul Stafford Electric (a contractor) had a hearse as his service vehicle. Practical and quite distinctive. I still use these guys, but now they just have, I think, Ford Transits.

Awesome video- Boot Hill Express too! God I feel old knowing this stuff...

LS swap?

Car is push-started in this sequence. Soon will come a day when only old guys like me will even get how this is possible.

fast and cool (to a kid?). I nominate bumblebee:

Just to be clear- the owner pays ME $6,800 to make it go away, right? Nah- still CP

Good news indeed, since previous Alfas have started when they darn well pleased. I’ll show myself out...

Nah- no muscle cars for me- never owned a V-8. Typically attend sports car events/ IMSA/ F-1 etc. plus maybe concours. Other comment are spot-on: if you are already 5o grand in debt from school you’re not shopping for a new Ford Focus RS, no matter how fast and furious it might be.

This. Exactly.

Neutral: I hope enthusiasts aren’t dinosaurs, but it seems like every race, car show etc. I attend is filled with 58 year-old guys like me. Hoping the industry can re-invent itself and stay relevant. And by “relevant” I don’t mean touch-screen dashboards that look like i-phones. I have 2 twenty-something kids, and…
