Any chance you’re heading through Virginia Beach on the way out? Would love to meet up with you guys.

I’ve had a lot of cars - here’s the one I miss the most: When I graduated college, I sold my F-150 and bought a used Miata. Specifically, a 1993 Miata, black with a tan top, leather and every option, including the stereo with speakers in the headrests and shakers in the seats that shook you to the bass in the music.

Watching this one devolve into fighting over which classic Ford (neither of which are close to his criteria) would meet this guys needs after he’s rejecting such a sweet Chevy SS is the most satisfying thing I’ve read today. I love you guys.

How dare you publish this article without quoting how many times General Motors and Ford’s rockets have exploded on landing. 

Ok, this was totally petty, but I voted ND just to avenge the disrespect to yesterday’s Oldsmobile. In your face, 3-series station wagon stans.

Several years ago my wife and I took a trip to Israel. We spent the first weekend in Jerusalem, and rented a car when it was time to leave the city. Our first planned outing outside Jerusalem was to go hike up Masada. I plugged Masada into the GPS, and we promptly went 200km in the wrong direction because there was a

Any time, dude. I have a big Atari library, plus a Magnavox Odyssey 2, NES, SNES, PS1 and Genesis. Not quite as well equipped as Jason’s basement, but up there.

Going for the trifecta with the Tesla Stans, the Mustang-E Stans and the Bolt Stans, I see. Years of playing Atari Berserk should have you prepped for this.

James and I totally have this argument on the next Reels & Wheels, with me sticking up for the rectangular lights. Although I agree that the refresh version of the rectangular lights with the marker lights next to them looks way better.

Where’s the milk I ordered?
In the Thing!
What thing?
The Thing. In the driveway.
There’s a thing in my driveway? What thing is in my driveway?
It’s my thing. It’s yellow.
Look, man. I didn’t sign up for this. Get your yellow thing out of my driveway.

This truck is about to end a lot of marriages.

It started with a 2-speed auto with a column shifter. In college I had a big block 425 put in and we found a turbo 350 3-speed to replace it with. That was great for a while until I found a parts car with a 4-speed.

My Cutlass had one in the right pod. It was pretty forgettable, but I’m glad it was there - when I converted it to a 4-speed, I pulled the dash and was able to dash mount an aftermarket tach and it fit perfectly.

I had to give this one NP props. It looks nice, and I think it’s a good use of the Chevette platform. My only question is... a tow hitch?! Have you driven a Chevette? Even with a fiberglass body, I don’t think you’d be able to go more than -3 mph with any kind of trailer, dolly, bike rack, or luggage shelf attached.

That award goes to my 1980 Triumph Spitfire. It was rated at 72HP new, and that sounds generous. I love it.

First of all, it’s a cool resto-mod, but not $17k cool. Would expect things to be a bit more tucked and tied for that kind of $$$.

“Finish your damn fruit and let’s move, kids. Daddy has a badminton game to get to.”

It’s like that, man. One second you’re chilling in a rooftop pool, the next you’re underwater in your Volkswagen.

The mechanic who rebuilt my 425 V8 had a mop of bushy hair. One day I came to the shop, and his hair now had bangs.

So what should you do if you have GT3 dreams but don’t have the ownership history or want to pay the markup?”
