This is clearly one of those guys that has NO business owning a firearm. I love firearms and respect the hell out of them and can't imagine a world where people treat them as casually as this guy clearly did.

France disagrees...

All good points. My bad with the "scumbag" thing, nothing personal. I might need more sensitivity training! You are absolutely right on, though. Most people in my generation got lazy and shied away from three-pedaled cars and crank-up windows and those who followed felt the effects of my generation's laziness. …

I admit I might be a bit of an anomaly in my age group. I didn't venture into the fuel infected end of the carpool until several years after I got my license. I got pretty good at sorting out Quadrajunks and Hollys in high school (out of necessity, not desire) and drove several malaise-era barges through many…

"Old School" is such an overused and poorly defined term... I mean, to me (an American in his early 30s), "old school" means carburetors, no traction control, no ABS, no stability control, and Heather Locklear's ass planted firmly somewhere on or in the machine. To a gearhead my age, the Ferrari F-40 or Porsche 959…

You suited up and everything! I guess sarcasm isn't for everyone. The rest of us got it though.

<ahem>

If race cares are allowed, I always thought the old Lola B2K/10 was kinda neat with the center lights (sort of Tucker-esque). Unrelated to the lights was the awesome fact that Caterpillar sponsored one with a VW diesel V-10 in 2004...

Not sure if movie cars count...

As someone who drove mostly Malaise Era rwd barges in Michigan for most of my life, I can say with confidence that if you need studded tires, you're doing it wrong.

I vote Mercedes W196 engine. Desmodromic valvetrain, inline eight (because inline eight), and one of the most beautifully executed direct injection systems ever.

He was a pro drinker, for sure

Mort was pretty good, but I was a Bill Bonds fan from day one. To me, he IS the news. Hell, he was even in one of the original Planet of the Apes movies.

Wrong class. If you want to compare Trans Am rivals from the first season, then maybe you should use Bob Tullius' Dodge Dart

I prefer the Honda Pike's Peak minivan...

I used to occasionally drive a Beetle with that semi-auto box and I liked it! I never considered having one in a Ghia... kinda I want...

THAT'S what I was looking for!

You guys do remember that Honda raced an Odyssey at Pike's Peak this year, right? It wasn't 1,000 horses, but it was fast as shit and seemed to turn well enough since, ya know, it didn't get stuck in a tree...
