One more - On my 1976 Toyota Celica GT, the steering wheel had two horn buttons on normal locations on the front, but they also had identical counterparts on the back of the steering wheel, too.

And pretty much everything on the Corvair. Aside from the obvious (Engine in the back isn’t too weird, but for Chevy it was)...

Also want to throw in the parking brake in the C4 Corvette. Mounted on the driver’s side door sill. It’s designed to flop back down when you pull it up so it doesn’t trip you on the way out. It’s also designed to defeat any mechanic who has never worked on a C4 Corvette. Friendly advice to new C4 owners, don’t use the…

My Triumph Spitfire has this, too. I was a little shocked to see it in a Triumph since I thought it was just a Ford thing.

I’ve had a lot of cars, but the award here goes to one of the least weird cars I’ve had - a 1990 Mustang GT. For some reason, Ford put the button to pop the rear hatch inside the glove compartment. You had to open the glove compartment lid, and a yellow button was to the left, just kind of hidden by the lid. I guess…

Hell yes.

GM Executives are notorious for refusing to take a backseat to anyone.

Honestly for me, it would be writing about them. Sadly, I don’t think I could make what I’m making now if I made that switch.

I am proud to announce that I have subscribed to Kinja’s FSC (Full-service Commenting) program! Sure, the software isn’t totally cooked yet, but I don’t have to waste my time typing comments anymore! Here’s my fully automated comment to this story:

I can’t. I just can’t. I recognize that an example like this in this kind of condition is rare and interesting to a lot of people, and I respect whoever decides to pony up the cash and love this car, but... just... no.

I hear his explanation, but we still can’t be sure that the roof didn’t just fall off.

Up until now, Lincoln only had to worry about attacks from the Ford theater. 

Here’s a pretty good deterrent:

My first memory (at least the oldest one stored in my 46-year-old brain) is sitting in my dad’s lap, steering his 1970 Buick Skylark convertible into the parking lot at preschool. I loved that car. (Yellow with a tan top). I was so upset when he traded it.

Gleezbod the Commander: Very important. When delivering our ship to the launch point, do not use Earth Interstate 93.

I have wanted a 1966 Chevelle since I was a kid. Now they are getting less plentiful and unrestored examples are inching out of my price range. Plus I don’t want to let go of my three other cars.

I have it on good authority you better get the hell out of that quadrant before the Tholians finish their web.

I bought a 1994 Trans Am after falling in love with it at first sight. It was a 6-speed with light modifications (headers, skip-shift eliminator, oil cooler) and I daily drove it for a couple of years. I kept up with basic maintenance as best I could, keeping the oil fresh and changing out some minor parts here and…

Maury: Mr. Bumblebee, you are... NOT the father!

WHY?!
