Great picture to lead with. My 5th Gen Camaro on summer tires can hardly get out of a parking spot with an inch of snow on the ground. If we would get more than one or two snow falls in a year I would spring for some winter tires but in the 10 years I’ve had that car it’s only been an issue three times I can think of.

My heart goes out to his family. I’ve been a fan of Block’s since I was a skateboarding teen in the 90’s. Sad to see another hero of mine leave. 

Look like a lot of fun to drive! I never heard about it before your post (gasp!)

I’ve noticed this too. I had some work done at my friends shop and he send me this photo back.

Great job keeping a cool car on the road. I don’t really need the inspiration because I promised myself I’d keep my 03 Z4 on the road by any means possible, but you still managed to inspire me even more. It’s been in storage since 2019 because I haven’t been able to travel home because of COVID restrictions, I miss…

I have driven quite a few number of cars in quite a few different countries during my 20 years of having a license and for me, the most boring car I have ever driven is my mom’s Honda CRV. I think it’s a 2010 model has 4 wheel drive, satellite radio, and all of the top trim stuff and she keeps it in mint condition so…

Reminds me of the photoshop someone did to my Camaro. Somehow I think the blind spot problem of my car drastically would improve if this was real  

That’s a very interesting take and a well written article. My good friend just bought a Yuan Plus here in Beijing and to replace their ancient Peugeot 206. They have only said good things about it, but I haven’t had a change to try it myself yet.

I have only owned 3 cars in my life and I think that they have all been pretty good looking cars, my first car the last year of the Tiburon that I kind of murdered out. Look pretty cool but had not guts. My daily driver, 2011 Camaro looks amazing to me, but not what I would call pretty.

Interesting choice as Jeeps are quite popular in China, starting with the Cherokee in one of the first joint venture arrangements in 1984 and still have huge following.

In my comment I said the same thing. I have 2 cars, one with a V6 and one with an inline 6 and while I love those cars and couldn’t choose a favorite car, the inline 6 is the better engine. It is much smoother and has better torque across the power band. My inline 6 is 1L smaller than my V6 but feels stronger on the…

Thanks for sharing that fact. Its cool to know that the boss was a risk taker and got to enjoy that car... and i respect that! 

I suppose I am kind of an anomaly when it comes to cars (and motorcycles for that matter, I’ve had a pair of V4 Honda bikes a few years back)… but I really like 6cyl engines. My 2003 Z4 has a buttery smooth inline 6 that sounds amazing and is perfectly matched to that car. My other car is a Camaro with a v6. I’m not…

I’m happy to have my home town of Jackson, Michigan mentioned on Jalopnik, and I have taken that train from Chicago to Jackson a few times because I like trains and I live in China where the train service is amazing, efficient, fast and cheap. Amtrak let me down by being slower and more expensive than a rental car (at…

I am probably one of the most calm people I’ve ever met and It’s hard for me to contain myself whenever I see a picture of this. Fortunately, I’ve never seen one in person. It’s hard for me to channel my discuss and disappointment into words but his just personifies everything I dislike about fashion, culture and…

That’s really unfortunate to hear. I had the exact opposite experience when I went to Hawaii a few years ago. I love muscle cars, and daily drive a Camaro, so I wanted to try out a Mustang and on 2 islands and 3 rentals I got a decent Mustang each time. One had a bit of ripped head liner but it didn’t distract.

I feel that it is important to point out that the original black ghost was added to the historic register of vehicles in the library of congress in 2020 https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/1970-dodge-challenger-black-ghost-national-historic-vehicle-registry-1234589799/

I’ve always been pretty good about doing my own repairs and doing them the right way, but since I bought my Camaro in 2013, I have been unhappy with the local market’s regulation of having amber rear turn signals. My car came with outer amber turn signals and inner red stop lights (not to mention the fog light and…

Wow, I am so happy I have a new friend. Thanks for sharing my comment. Also the author’s comments after every post were superb.
