NP! I used to own a 1991 C4 6-speed (not the convertible - I always like the targa top better). The “it’s rare” thing is always misleading with Corvettes - given the total number they built each year, every engine/transmission/color combo is technically “rare”. Mine was teal and there weren’t a lot of those either.

As soon as you pointed it out I saw Alfred Hitchcock choking on a sausage.

As an ‘80's kid, I remember the Muscle Car era had a pretty specific definition - cars built from 1964 (when Pontiac ignored GM’s displacement limit and made the GTO) to 1972 (In ‘73, the fuel crisis and bumper regulations neutered the cars), and often narrowly defined as mid-sized cars with larger engines shoehorned…

Miata. In 1989 I was 14 and up until then I had been infatuated with the MGB. At that point, the world saw two-seater convertibles as unreliable nightmare machines from the factory. The Miata was the first reliable roadster and was plenty exciting to boot.

Does it get much more 80's than the 3rd Gen Firebird/Camaro? They ran from 1082-1992. This is my ‘89. The dashboard and console are full of 80's grid-style backgrounds. Sadly, I can not call it to come pick me up from my watch.

...and now Silverado guy is both literally and figuratively upside down in that truck.

Even if you want to go by location instead of function, This would put the butthole at the equivalent of the car’s thigh. No car has had a solid butthole location since license plates folded down.

This totally reminded me of the old joke about the border cop:

Rob Lowe used one of these to wash Chris Farley after the cow-tipping scene in Tommy Boy. Clearly not enough people on Tik Tok have watched Tommy Boy.

Looking forward to you flying to Hawaii and wrenching in this puppy to get it in shape so you can drive it back from Hawaii to Detroit. I will watch every video if you figure out how to make that happen.

As the owner of a 1968 Olds Cutlass, I can tell you that the siren call only gets worse the bigger the engine gets. 

This would be incredible if you wanted to supplement your income by doing some deliveries on the side.

Simple, but effective: Had a friend of mine in the passenger seat while I was pulling into the parking space right next to his truck. When I got close enough to the truck, I slammed on the brakes to make it feel like I hit his truck when I was really still more than a foot away from it.

Knee Steering:

I paid $500 for a 1963 Corvair Monza 900 convertible. I knew it was a project, but I wanted a project Corvair and it looked fairly solid at first glance. I probably should have glanced a bit closer. I started stripping paint off and there was nothing under the paint but a hodgepodge of poorly done metal patches, bondo…

I can’t even begin to underscore the value of being able to explain this level of preciseness exactly how much bend, flex, sheer and load your wood can take.

So it drew a dick, then got stuck in the mouth of the Suez and there aren’t enough seamen with enough thrust to push it out. And the longer it’s in there, the more screwed we are...

Spent a bunch of time on my 1980 Triumph Spitfire trying to diagnose why it was leaking clutch fluid. Replaced the slave cylinder, the line, and finally the culprit - a bad clutch master cylinder. This took a while to diagnose but was relatively easy to fix. I bled the system, got a new tunnel cover, added a gasket to…

Lol - It’s one-way. And I’ve seen people do that, terrifying the hell out of me.

I’m also fairly agnostic on this - I don’t mind people backing into spots with one exception - When the spaces are angled to favor people pulling in nose-first. The parking garage at my office is set up like this and I still see people try to back (impossibly) into these spaces. When the space is angled, it makes it…
