It wouldn't be a bad base for a performance build, though - not too horribly heavy, and has a six. For that matter, a slightly more modern OHV six wouldn't be a bad swap if one wanted to avoid the SBC or LS cliche. Maybe a Jag 4.2 six? The look would be good enough.

As a side note, I want all three of the cars in my post. Massively, and in that order - Pontiac first.

How about fastback *pre* muscle cars?

I should point out that it "Muscle car" is a category of classic, and not an overplayed model. But, since the rest of your argument (given the origins of many NHRA stock classes and the origins of NASCAR) is fallacious as well, I can see how you didn't feel like letting that stop you.

Speaking of painfully outdated, I haven't seen white people from the suburbs rapping as a commercial trope since the 90s. Good thing his own stereotypes are up to date... or not.

I think he's alleging we shot it down with a Thud to be equally anachronistic and to keep things sporting.

Just as with the classic computer "PEBKAC", the best solution may be to remove the user.

One of the guys who posts on Oppositelock just completed rebuilding a chassis for a Spit that had a bunch of rust. My normal thing to this point has been repairing firewalls and chassis on Series II Land-Rovers - my family have a bunch of them.

No preblom.

There is a Prius often seen on my way to work with fenders and other parts in primer. I'm not sure Prius and "restore" should be spoken aloud in the same sentence without the speaker combusting, but it doesn't look bad at all.

Falcon Ranchero. Falcons are about as infamously rusty as Scouts. I have roof rust, bed rust, pillar rust, firewall rust, floor rust, door rust, rocker end rust, gate rust, and rear fender rust.

Oh, sure, like he was gonna buy a "not-rustpile". You sound like a crazy person.

I own a set of these for my project, but have yet to have the fellow Opponaut in whose custody they are ship them to me from the UK. Totally necessary to have, though.

Fridge Largemeat. Buff Plankchest. Flint Ironstag. Gristle McThornbody. Smoke Manmuscle. Bob Johnson... oh wait.

It's a "big convertible", so despite crossover ungainliness (or perhaps in harmony with it), it's the ideal car for a modern day Fear and Loathing.

Well, the "Chocobo Sex!" is an actual scene. Which just got funnier.

This demands Red Mage from 8-bit Theater with Fonz style pointing fingers:

He said I'd opened and closed these wire valve-cover holders enough times that one had bent, and it was letting the valve cover get loose and oil leak out. This is when he started to root around in a nearby trashcan. He started telling me he was looking for a 'shim.' I did not actually know what a shim was at the time.

"Pronard" backwards is "Dranorp"! I'm onto you, Toyota, or should I say "atoyot"...
