Yeah, the Mustang II is pretty damn cool. I’ve never actually gotten to race in it (i’m the ‘owner’ of the Sunbird, so i’m usually too busy with that thing to get into the mustang) but i’m sure my time will come soon enough. After all, the Mustang’s owner just did a race in the Sunbird, so he owes me one!

I’m pretty…

It’s a tragic story about local government overreach.

I liked her before I knew why I liked her.

Accord Sport anyone?

Actually, it was once shown as a two-seat convertible, shortly before “production” commenced. Wore “Typhoon” badges at this point in the design process.

Still doesn’t make the model any more accurate, but enjoy the trivia.

Well there’s a complete surprise!

You are correct. A company spent significant money researching viability to reconfigure the ship for current use. There were two conclusions: (1) it’s in surprisingly good shape structurally for something that’s been sitting for 49 years and (2) It is completely infeasible to retrofit it for modern propulsion. Point 2…

i cant imagine my youth without a copy of that book in my hand...it wasnt all about the fat motorcycle twins, but that was a lot of it, i wont lie.

If we’re going to salvage and restore something from the past that was opulent, enormous and useless in the modern world, let’s make it count.

I think that’s just a matter of change of relative circumstance. Say you’re a kid in the 1970's, looking at a C3, marveling at how fast it looks—and by connection, conscious or not, how fast it must be. Fast forward to 2018, and most family sedans with their up-level engines will outgun it without trying too hard. Are…

No, crazy-smart would be getting some rubes to try this and get caught so that Jalops have employment opportunities with border control:

At this point for the lady in my life, it’s cupholders and stain resistant interiors that impress.

“They DO break down in herds!”

You know it’s true. How nice. Look at this. [points to a 90's crapcan.] It’s worthless. Ten dollars from a vendor in the street. But I take it, I bury it in the sand for a thousand years, it becomes priceless. Men will kill for it. Men like you and me.

For the same reason that I paid $16 or so for a September 1997 issue of Car and Driver—reinstantiation of idealized memories. It was the first car magazine I (at the time 8 years old) ever received, and I loved it. I still remember laying on my bedroom floor one evening, reading it to/with my dad, who mostly doesn’t…

*Guy who would totally buy perfectly mundane car doesn’t get why people would buy different perfectly mundane car*

I agree. My crazy downstairs neighbor never saw any return on the cardboard box and cockroach collection that took up his entire apartment.

I’m in the midst of a Sherlock binge, so I really enjoyed this comment.

I always liked Jaclyn the best.

Now THAT is a thing my team and I need to add to our Lemons racing stable. It would fit right in with our:
