Virginia is a bit misleading because this place is like three different states. In Southwestern VA (the mountains), everyone knows how to drive because they learn at age 2. They get plenty of snow and can handle all types of driving conditions. Northern Virginia is full of insane people. It’s the only place where you…

ND for the $1,234 bit alone. Come on, man. If you can’t fill in the price on a simple web form it means you’re either dishonest or technically inept. 

If that was an Oldsmobile, I’d assume dad was about to proudly unveil that he’d replaced his hand with a chainsaw.

The 1920's were a notoriously tough time and people had to resort to some pretty extreme measures if they wanted to get high.

Dude needs to keep the Rondo for his daughter and get himself something new. 2008 cars were plenty safe and the Rondo is plenty ugly, so no concerns if she enhances its appearance by cutting it a bit too close in a parking garage.

The Spitfire leaked all of its clutch fluid. First, I got a new clutch slave. Access to replace it was super easy, so that was good, but once it was bolted up, the fluid still leaked. Then I replaced the line. Had to bend copper/nickel brake line, and once that was done it didn’t leak from the line anymore, but now…

This is the truck the captain of the Chess Team buys to try and impress his former high school football playing dad. That’s not an insult, btw.

I don’t mind 6 cilindros, but I prefer my Ladas in two-tone.

Elon - this is not what people meant when referring to how we’re trying to break through the glass ceiling.

The next logical step in this lunacy is a Chevy truck commercial promoting a beverage stabilization system shown preventing beer spillage while the driver gets road-head.

Carbon Bucket Seats: When the only thing that outweighs your carbon footprint is your carbon ass-print.

In Virginia the law is that your headlights have to be on if your wipers on all the way on. Once I concede to the rain and turn my wipers all the way up, I have to turn on my headlights, and I have pop up headlights, so it’s a pretty strong commitment. I guess I have commitment issues.

And here I thought “Sasquatch Package” was just a euphemism for someone who really needs to clean up and trim the landscaping down there.

I like the A-Arm independent front suspension. Stouts are so much better without overdoing the hops.

Giving a responsible answer:
Everyone makes tough decisions.
Timing must be considered.

Too many cars can be overwhelming
Help could be limited
Each person has a wrenching threshold

Try running some numbers
Read up on long trips in these cars
Act out the worse case scenario
Be cautious, but
Yearn for adventure
!

This is the worst French rip-off of Speed Racer I’ve seen so far. That doesn’t even look like a monkey.

Thanks. Actually took it while taking my art student daughter around the Pungo area of Virginia looking to do some photography in the style of William Eggleston. It’s got plenty of torque, but the engine rebuild is more than 20 years old at this point so I’m looking at some options for refreshing things. If I can…

Yep. ‘68 Cutlass S. Bought it in 1995, swapped in a 425 out of a Delta 88, later switched transmissions to a Muncie 4-speed. 

Drop by if you ever want to relive that.

Good to know - my Spitfire doesn’t have a radio at all right now, but I would really dig taking it to a drive in.
