Dibs on a tire sale kiosk.

Engine swappers rejoice, a bunch of cheap 401-HP V8 donor vehicles will flood the market in a few years. Dips on one for my Firebird.

The correct expert to go to for this one is Chunk from The Goonies, who referred to a Jeep Cherokee in the chase at the beginning of the movie as an “ORV”, which I assume meant “Off-Road Vehicle.” This covers your accuracy issue properly and nicely implies that SUV’s are NOT off-road vehicles.

I bought a 1963 Corvair Monza 900 Convertible for $500 and towed it home. I really didn’t inspect carefully enough before buying. What looked like solid floors where actually rusted completely out and replaced by pop-riveted pieces of sheet metal. I started stripping away the horrible paint job and underneath I kept…

If I were CEO of Harley Davidson? I’d take the Dunkin Donuts route - stop focusing on the donuts and sell everything else that makes money. Cut motorcycle production down to one tenth of what it is and populate existing dealerships with one tenth the motorcycles and the rest of the space with branded products. They…

I’ll pass on calling dibs. Few things are more humiliating than being underwater on a Hyundai.

One choice here. 1961 Lincoln Continental 4-door convertible limo. Plenty of space and access to the back seat. Open air so you can ride to the polls in style. Just pick your route carefully.

Probably plenty of cops wish they had this thing for stake-outs.

I believe Mr. Stapp piloted that vehicle with arms wide open and I have faith that it took him higher.

Neutral: Let’s get a movie on the launch of the Aztek.

One of the most baffling/fun parts about playing Rad Racer was using your Ferrari to bump a Beetle from behind until it hit your 255KPH max speed, using it as a safety blocker, then watch it speed off when you slowed down for a curve, never to see that fast little guy again.

At the gas pump. I had just bought a ‘94 Trans Am and had no idea the gas gauge was off. It would linger at 3/4 full until it was nearly empty, then shoot down to empty with little to no warning. I made it to a gas station ran out of gas with just enough momentum to coast to the pump.

VW was so far ahead of society when it came to accepting translucent batteries. GM and Ford wouldn’t even consider a battery unless it identified as 100% lucent.

I always optimistically assumed these Toyotas would behead each other until there was only one.

How cool would it be if that whole glass panel had a built-in LED system so you could just decide what shape and location/configuration your taillights would have?

I still remember seeing this thing on Motorweek. Found the clip, too:

Now if only an angry Ford built an SUV to compete with...

You gonna track it down? There’s gotta be some kind of end to this story. 

If they had used the original Mini platform, they could have gotten plenty of range out of six AA batteries.

Let’s not poop on Jeep’s quest to set the record for “Most individual points on a car where you can fail state inspection.”
