This completely tops my dream where I picked up the Lancashire & Sumner families in my Triumph Spitfire and they were all “By Jove! I do believe only one of us will fit in that diminutive death trap!” and I was all “Nose game!”

First of all, this is a loaded question because we keep redefining “muscle car”. It used to be pretty narrow - It had to be made between 1964 and 1972, and the Camaro/Mustang didn’t count because they were “pony cars.” So the Mustang II should never make the list,  even if you extend the era. It was never meant to be…

I wonder how many people go to Copart every day and leave disappointed that it’s not a place to share their fan art of police officers.

I feel like Ric Flair would have the answers to any questions we have about this one.

Virginia remains the only state where radar detectors are illegal. This is in spite of the fact that police radars can already defeat most detectors and in spite of the fact that most radar detectors are less accurate than just using Waze. I think the law is still on the book just because there’s almost no point in…

Awesome! I love TR-7s. And I love pop-up headlights. I daily an ‘89 Firebird.

I want to see what it looks like when it evolves into a Carizard.

-as someone who’s seen first-hand what Taco Bell has done to people, I can confirm.

I was infatuated with MGB’s when I was little. Once I had the disposable income to add a British Roadster to the fleet, I ended up going with a Spitfire instead. I still love the way an MGB looks, but honestly, it feels a lot bigger than a Spitfire (and especially bigger than a Sprite/Midget) and if you’re going for a…

“Reimagined” shifters. We don’t want a dial. We don’t something shaped like a computer mouse that doesn’t move into each position. Just give us a lever that locks clearly into each position so we know 100% the car is safely in our out of gear and that we’re grabbing a shifter and not the volume knob.

The Renault R8 in the wild stalks its victim. He should have known better than to wear red...

Right now this is your best chance at getting an Audi with reasonable miles for $15,000.

Carjacker: Get out of the car!
Me: Ok, just make sure you throw it into first a second time before you try to get it into second. It can be temperamental.
Carjacker: What?
Me: Oh, and don’t twist the ignition key to hard. The lock cylinder comes loose.
Carjacker: Ok ok...
Me: And don’t open the driver’s side rear window.…

The one time it became abundantly clear for me was when I started stripping the paint off of a cheap 1963 Corvair convertible I had purchased. Underneath the paint, I found rust, more rust, variations on rust, bondo, poorly done metal patches on rust, and more bondo.

I feel like Chrysler’s insistence that “for” rhymes with “star” is all I need to know about where their heads were in the 1980's.

Yep. Based on the true story.

I had a short run at an ad agency. The classic Lucky Strike campaign was required learning. Basically, an ad agency guy asked a Lucky Strike exec how the cigarettes were made. He listed the ingredients and described the tobacco as being “toasted” during the process. The ad exec latched onto the word “toasted” and…

I knew it. Poor sales didn’t kill the Gremlin. Tennis Ball Tubes killed the Gremlin. Damn those bastards at Big Tennis Ball.

To be fair, a Snorlax with hyper beam is way more dangerous left out in the wild than a couple of armed robbers. 

I used to own a C4 and I never noticed or appreciated these features. I feel like I missed out on a precious piece of real life.
