Kind of surprised no one mentioned this guy. He's been rocking Firestones since before I was a little Jaloplet.
You actually beat me to it! This one (or a clone) was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale this year or last.
I was looking for a better way to mount my bike on my Miata! I'll test this one out...
Meh, I'm a Ford guy, so I was close.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the 1941 Chevy COE van from Jeepers Creepers. The 59 Impala isn't bad either. NSFW language. Turn the volume UP for maximum effect.
The automatic seatbelt. I will say no more. Video for reference.
Mercedes CLR. Mark Webber flips one twice, Peter Dumbreck did it in the video. They cancelled the project after the one Le Mans 1999 race. What race car also doubles as an airplane?!
Just noticed that the drivers aren't wearing safety gear. Nice!
This is one that I've thought long and hard about. While you need speed, you also need comfort and fuel efficiency. The ability to blend in helps, too. I actually want to say my buddy's former vehicle, an e34 M5 with a bunch of Dinan bits thrown at it. He averaged 25-30 mpg while going about 140 for a few hours in…
Well, at least it stays in Japan...
That's because you drove the automatic Fit.
Ok, guys, let's take a pedantic English roadster and put a massive American V8 in it and go racing. That seemed to work out, so let's completely modify EVERYTHING ELSE and go beat Ferrari on the world stage. Great article from back on '07 on Jalopnik about it: [jalopnik.com]
The Insight is the sibling I referred to. My whole comment was a bit longer, with my vote going towards the standard model vs. it's hybrid powered equivalent. Took me slightly out of context, but got the point across.
I believe we owe them a bit more than that... [www.guardian.co.uk]
You are both correct. 87, your translation is literal, supraman's is more lexical. El Camino, literally, "The Walk" but it doesn't really shake down that way, so it's "The Way"
I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and say any car that also has a hybrid drivetrain. I'm immediately thinking about Honda Accord >Honda Accord V6 Hybrid, Honda Civic > Honda Civic Hybrid, Honda Fit > Honda Insight. That last one in particular. The Honda Fit is a fantastic small car, and performs best with the throttle…
The very first car that I lusted after, and I mean saved newspaper clippings and dealer brochures lusted was this. My first car (as a high school graduation present) was a 67 Galaxie 500. Coincidence? Hell no.
Fun fact! There are more Hemi muscle cars on the road now than Hemi engines that ever originally left the factory.
THIS! Go even farther old school, and toss the GPS. Get a paper map and get directions from locals!
