I never not remember that scene whenever there's airbag related news.

An X-Wing and a Colonial Viper fell in love and had a baby? I'm in.

Don't forget that almost all vehicles that are not pickup trucks or fullsize SUVs are unibody now and bolting a hitch to a U shaped channel of thin sheetmetal on the floorpan of a car is not the same as bolting it to a thick, beefy boxed framerail that runs the length of the car. Ratings are going to be much more…

Yeah, not dying on the highway was not as highly valued back then has been in more recent times!

There are complicated and confusing interactions between ETs and trap speeds and sometimes your highest speeds are on your slowest ET runs. On your best runs time wise you may have gotten a better launch and covered so much ground quickly at the beginning of the track that you ran out of room to reach higher speeds at…

They should just go ahead and Hellcatify the Durango too.

What would make the difference for you in deciding whether to buy one or not?

My '96 GT used to seem big compared to other coupes and sports cars on the road, and even compact and some midsized sedans. Now it feels quite tidy compared to everything else on the road other than Miatas and FR-S/BRZs. The stuff we used to consider small must feel like driving one of those Shiriners' parade cars the…

All I know is I want one of the giant inflatable gorillas that were popular before the WWIAFTMs took over for my house.

Me too. Now I'm smelling burlap, rusty springs and horsehair or whatever that itchy stuff they filled the seat cushions with was.

Lift-throttle oversteer was easily inducable and easily controllable with the gas pedal in my old '91 Daytona on dirt roads. So much fun to be had sliding around at low speeds on dirt. Sadly they're all paved now and the one or two that aren't aren't maintained like they used to be and are almost undriveable in a…

I would add that at the time Ford was calling these 2V & 4V motors there wasn't much in the way of 4 (or 3, or 5) valve heads in production to compete with them for the naming convention - everything had 2 valves except for some weird or exotic stuff. It wasn't until the 80's that it really got confusing.

ah, wasn't thinking about prop wash.

I would see model planes doing hovers like that a lot at the model aviation park by the baseball fields - the power-to-weight is easy enough but I haven't figured out how they keep the plane from counter-rotating against the prop. The control surfaces wouldn't work if the plane were truly motionless. This one looks…

Seriously, we're to believe Steeda didn't weigh each corner as soon as it rolled in their shop?

Ugh, I hate that they put it in the glovebox - my '96 GT has it in the same place. You have to reach over awkwardly to reach it (even with my orangutan arms) and all the crap in the glovebox falls out and then it won't latch back because it's not actually deep enough for the owner's manual that came with it so it's a…

This kind of lack of foresight and planning is a big problem down here in Alabama. You just don't schedule a wedding for Saturdays in the fall. Not if you don't want to hear a lot of complaining from your friends and family. Just don't do it if you want people to show up and if you want the ones who do show up to be…

Yeah, that whole class of cars doesn't make much sense anymore - 30 years ago when a 7 year old used car was likely to be a rusted out, falling apart piece of crap with no compression left and interest rates for used cars were through the roof, a stripped down, tiny, cheap new car made sense if you only had so much to…
