What exactly do you find onerous about it?  I’ve done this job multiple times on the two NA6's I’ve owned and didn’t find it too much of a chore aside from timing the camshafts (and I found a way around that).

Alcohol:  Helping ugly people get laid since the Middle Ages.

I had a ‘85 Chevy Sprint for a while in college. It was well under 100 hp/ton (48 hp in a 1,600 lb car), but with enough patience you could break the speed limit on a freeway.  And I often did - as long as I wasn’t climbing a hill or driving into a headwind.

“Showboating and speed are not the whole of car culture, or even the majority part. It is just the loudest. And the most expendable.”

I’d eat at Del Taco more often if I didn’t have to drive almost half an hour to the nearest one.  Along with generally better food than Taco Bell, they also have some pretty good fries.

Saw the lead pic - like the color; thought to myself, “I shouldn’t like this car this much.”

Funny thing is, I remember seeing quite a few Daytonas back when these were new, but not many Lasers.

You might be thinking of the Charger/Turismo twins, which debuted as the O24 and TC3 respectively. Those were derived from the Omni/Horizon.

Not a NASCAR fan, then? (And yes, I know the Speedway is in Concord.)

This basically looks like a chicken tender chalupa.  And I’m fine with that.

True, but the Rolex 24 did get red-flagged a couple years ago due to heavy rain. But to be fair, it was rain heavy enough that it would have been hazardous on a natural-terrain road course.

Ovals in the rain are dangerous enough in the dry, thanks to the complete lack of runoff.

You’re not going to hold anyone’s interest if it takes almost 12 hours to complete an event.

Other than the price, nothing really.  Shell tends to be at the upper end, and here in the Bay Area it seems gas prices in general get higher the closer you are to San Francisco.

I don’t watch a lot of NASCAR these days, but I’ll probably tune in this weekend.  I like the fact that they’ve expanded the number of road and roval courses this season; might even tune in for the dirt race at Bristol if I’m home that weekend.

You sat there and darned if you didn’t tell me you’d get me this car, these options, without the sealant for nineteen-five.

Do you live outside the US?  The Escort we got here was, as noted in Rob’s article, based on a different platform than the European-market Escort.

Nope! This is Ron White’s burner account.

Too bad we can’t put the signs on the stupid people....

I learned while researching a repair job on my wife’s Sebring convertible that there’s not one, but TWO online forums dedicated to Sebring convertibles.
