Me: The dealer did the right thing! That was an irresponsible and dangerous use of a customer’s care and a breach of trust!
My 1980 Triumph Spitfire is not equipped with overdrive, so it’s top speed is maybe 60mph. I wouldn’t dare drive it on the interstate, but it’s so slow and so well-balanced, that you can do whatever you want on curves without worrying about getting in trouble. Plus you can’t see a Spitfire and not be happy, so…
I agree with you because I don’t like to huge wheel look, but I sympathize since muscle cars came with 14-inch wheels but also came with bias ply tires. The lack of give in the sidewall made them handle better. When radials came out, muscle cars were much worse around corners. Huge wheels comes closer to replicating…
Haven’t regretted any of my own mods and this is very minor, but back in the 80's my father decided it would be cool to put a chrome exhaust tip extension on his Subaru GL. It looked okay, but we all still have scars from going to unload something from the back and accidentally touching our knees to the hot tip. He…
Ah-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA!
None of these choices are good for someone who wants to do his own wrenching. It’s not the age of the car that’s the problem here, it’s getting in and out. This guy really does need to move into classic muscle car territory. $30,000 is enough to get a good example of a Cutlass or a Skylark with plenty of…
Can’t wait to see him fill his gas tank.
Looking at this car made me want to put on khaki pants. It made me want to calculate my tip at the restaurant so the bill totaled exactly $15. It made me want to go through my bookshelves and make sure all the books were pulled forward enough so the spines were an even one inch from the lip of the shelf. It made me…
Stuff like this makes me feel even more guilty about that time I left my Snorlax in the Pokemon gym on the Jersey Turnpike.
The Foxbody Mustang. In the early 90's, Ford seemed dead set on keeping the Foxbody stuck at 225 (really 205) HP for most of its run, only giving it a small boost when the Cobra came out as the Foxbody was leaving. The whole time, the car was getting trounced by Camaros and Firebirds, which were more aerodynamic and…
Happy Birthday, David! May all your Jeeps... start.
Now we’ll finally get to see if the “It’s a Jeep thing. You Wouldn’t Understand” defense will stand up in court.
I had a Ford Ranger with a manual and it was definitely fun to row gears in... until you had a passenger in the middle seat. Then it got a little too personal if I had to put it in reverse.
Easy NP here. Prices on these are going up and this is a fair price in the car’s current condition. As a Spitfire owner, I totally prefer the single weber swap over having to balance two carbs, but that’s an easy fix. And I’m one of the weird people that doesn’t mind the big bumpers.
This is not nearly as irritating as the blanking plate on non-Flux Capacitor-Equipped Deloreans.
Big Block Oldsmobile, whether it’s the 400, 425, or 455. During the height of the muscle car age when GM’s brands actually competed with each other, Olds’ big blocks stood out both in terms of performance and, well, when you opened the hood they looked awesome. I mean, come on - big, wide intake manifold, rocket…
I do love foxbody Mustangs and this is my favorite year - the only year for quad headlights and fuel injection - but I can’t bring myself to even spend that kind of $$$ for a foxbody. I would rather get one that needs work than pay this much. (I also prefer the hatchback, but that’s just me). Even with this being a…
As the owner of a 1968 Cutlass, the dominance of the late 70's - early 80's Cutlass always bugged me, but it’s not totally baffling. As an 80's kid, I still remember why people bought Oldsmobiles - Cadillacs were still seen as aspirational vehicles but they had gotten priced out of reach for regular people. Oldsmobile…
