Too soon. This just happened last week. No word if my car is totaled yet, but this was a meticulously maintained 1991 Thunderbird SC with manual transmission that I had just bought two months ago. Someone was going too fast when traffic slowed to a stop and rear-ended this pristine piece of history... Thankfully I’m…
I have a lot of opinions on this and I’m sure we’re getting a lot of suggestions including Lambos, BMWs and the like, but right now the winner for me is the Mercedes GLK 350, specifically the one that wrecked my Thunderbird last night. Looks like a nice SUV, but it was definitely driven by someone who was speeding and… Read more
Yeah, he said the same thing when he kicked a Ferrari out of his dad’s garage.
This is New Jersey. I’ll bet that buyer met the deer later and slipped him $250 for bringing the price of the truck down.
The Supreme Leader was expecting a vehicle that could withstand the Holdo Maneuver.

In 2013 (I think), I bought a 1994 Trans Am from a small dealership in Pennsylvania - got a ride up there with a friend, then went for it and got started driving the Trans Am back to Virginia. Things were going great, and the gas gauge was sticking around 3/4 full for most of the trip. About 40 miles up the road, it… Read more
Toyota is just subtly letting us know they have a lot of shit in the works that they just don’t want getting out.
Plenty of people have already pointed out rampant misuse of the left lane as a cruising lane. I think we need to start training slower drivers (even if the reason is legit - your car has problems, you’re carrying an open load, you have perception issues) that the interstate is not for you. 99% of the time, secondary… Read more
I feel required to take up for the Thunderbird SC since I recently bought this one. So much to love about the Super Coupe - the supercharged 3.8, the ridiculous amount of ahead-of-its-time tech, the understated sleeper looks, the ability to out-perform its Mustang contemporaries...
The guy who sold me my Corvair got it as a pair with a ‘64 Corvair Monza convertible originally owned by John Glenn. That car was still only worth less than $5,000 and his expectations weren’t high once he was finished restoring it. If I was filthy rich, maybe I’d make a big donation to that charity and tell them they… Read more
Hard to pick a winner between stuff like my General Lee, my Jaguar XKE pedal car or my insane collection of matchbox cars, with particular favorites being a ‘73 Challenger (blue with red hood scoops) and a late 70's Mercury wagon, but the most unique had to be my US-1 Electric Trucking slot car set. It was full of… Read more
Lol. Not my problem... Besides, this place is like a support group compared to the comments on pro wrestling news sites.
I’m just surprised there are people who play golf and still need a free Mercedes.
How has the Iron Duke Camaro not been suggested yet? Putting the Iron Duke in the Camaro/Firebird in 1982 was the equivalent of putting a lawn mower engine in to power a nuclear plant. It was a touch small for the job.
If NASCAR drivers all had to drive identical stock Toyota Tercels, as I’ve continuously advocated for, all of our problems would go away.
Ok, part of me is doing this just to be contrarian and see how hot the flames get stoked in the comments... but I’m going out on a limb and saying this anyway: Read more
I daily drive a 1989 Firebird that I paid cash for. I also have a 1968 4-4-2 clone that I paid cash for back in 1995, and have put way less than the cost of a new car into it since then. I also have a 1980 Triumph Spitfire that I, uh, paid cash for. Read more
Danger Mouse had the best ride... The Mark III!
For some reason in 2004 I thought a $500 Corvair convertible was a good idea. I bought it from a collector in Charlottesville and dolly-towed it all the way back to Norfolk, Va. I had never messed with a Corvair before and I really didn’t inspect this one closely enough before I bought it. Sure, it looked like a nice… Read more
