Between a boat on a trailer and a tow vehicle, if they start going in the water, seems like the best place to be, if you have to be in one of either the boat, trailer, or vehicle, is the one that, you know, floats happily on its own.

There once was a man from Limmerick

As a Mustang owner and lifelong Mustang fan, the Toyota Celica-stangs, Ford/Mercury Capri-stangs and, hell, even the 2-door Mavericks, were better mid-70s Mustangs than the MII. And the 1967/68 Cougar is the greatest Mustang of all time.

You guys can gnash teeth about this car being a compromise and not a pure Toyota product but this is the reality of making sports cars these days for mass market manufactures folks. Head over to https://www.goodcarbadcar.net and poke around at the numbers and you’ll see why no one wants to build a new sportscar and…

I don’t get to say this often enough but the 944 is the greatest car ever built.

Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering why it sounded like a dying moose at first.

Yes, and that is why rear exiting exhausts should be offset to one side or the other or both but not centrally, unless it’s quad tips like a Corvette, to avoid the literalness of that analogy.

I’m disappointed. I thought from the banner image it was going to be either The Batman or The Wu Tang Clan :(

As much time as it took from ball in to when he took a shot, I assumed this was a Princeton robot.

I know everyone seems to think flush door handles are a sexy good idea but there is a certain inelegance to flush handles in use that you’ve described that makes them, um, inelegant in practice.

lol, that looks like me getting out of my Mustang.

We picked up a practically new 2017 LaCrosse Premium last year with the LGX 3.6L and 8-speed transaxle and it is a fabulous car. It’s a shame it’s going out of production when they finally got it right (a fine GM tradition).

I was never a big fan of the Capri’s bubble backs but the Capri had one of the best Foxbody grills and those boxy fender flares were sexy as hell and all Foxbody Mustangs should’ve gotten them after the Capri was retired.

You can keep the Cragars. That thing deserves some proper turbine or wire wheels. Although, they actually don’t look too bad.

Mmmmm... green and rich brown leather!? Mmmmm, mmmmmm!

Are we sure Carlos Ghosn isn’t Dan Akroyd impersonating Richard Nixon impersonating an auto executive?

Ah, beautiful.

They were slushboxes because they literally had fluid sloshing around in a torque converter and because they felt slushy because they were typically set up with loose converters to make up for only having three (or even two!) forward gears, and because shifts were set up soft to make them super smooth.

> They were coming out of the woodwork like Corvettes.

I’m waiting for a gas spike and resulting panic sell off to upgrade my beater truck.
