I was never a fan of Ford’s 10-hole boring wheel that showed up on Foxbody Mustangs and Thunderbirds and probably a bunch of other generic Ford stuff. 

Thanks! I can confirm we have had to watch MOST of the movies on this list.

Buying a used Cordoba is understanding that somebody else had sex on that rich Corinthian leather. NP, just scrub those seats before you check that moment off the bucket list.

I’ve owned two Corvairs, but I don’t hate Nader. He got a raw deal on the pushback from his actions, which never actually killed the Corvair - the car lasted until gas got cheap enough that it wasn’t selling. And having owned two Corvairs, I can tell you he wasn’t totally wrong. The ‘60-’63 model had a turn-in issue…

The 1964-1972 American muscle car era was peak awesomeness for Detroit iron. The sounds, the smells, the chrome, the lines - all better than anything we have gotten since.

I didn’t hate Deathproof, but my biggest problem with it was once you know about Quentin Tarantino’s foot fetish, you can’t unsee all the foot scenes.

As the cohost of Reels & Wheels Podcast, I could probably fill this whole list for you, but I’ll stick to my top three worst car movies that I was forced to endure thanks to my co-host (Love ya, James. Really.):

Love Shack. That Chrysler is as big as a whale AND ITS ABOUT TO SET SAIL.

When I was in high school, in 1992, my generous father got me a 1990 Mustang GT. I was so in love with the car, I wanted everything to be perfect, so a broken piece of trim behind the inside driver’s door handle bothered me enough that it became my very first wrenching project. I got the part from the dealer and did…

I feel like Virginia should get more recognition for everyone’s complete inability to merge. What? A lane’s ending? Let’s all come to a complete stop!

Once again, this should get a $10,000 discount to account for how much time you’re going to have to spend explaining to people what the hell it is.

#3: Thoroughly inspect the vehicle to make sure the words “Nissan Versa” do not appear anywhere on the car or paperwork.

1980 Triumph Spitfire and 1968 Olds Cutlass. On of ‘em is a bit easier to get around to grab stuff in the garage.

Ready to start the ‘68 Cutlass back up after a long hibernation, but alas we’re having work done on the house and there’s still a dumpster in the driveway blocking it in the garage. This won’t be a long trip. 

I never thought I’d see a future where a Hyundai slowly became a rolling Playstation controller.

I had a 1991 Corvette (obnoxious teal with a 6-speed - coupled to the L98 engine, it made a really fun car). I took it to a local shop on the recommendation of a friend. I asked (as nicely as possible) if they worked on Corvettes - sometimes mechanics don’t want to deal with them, and they assured me they could. After…

Delorean. I feel like they didn’t even try to paint the cars.

Not on board with this take, purely because after selling Oldsmobile to GM, Ransom Olds went on to for REO, which remained in business until 1975. Oldsmobile may not have been as big if GM had not stepped in and I’m not even criticizing GM’s management of the brand, but Ransom Olds was clearly capable of making the…

In 1901, Oldsmobile had a whole lineup of cars ready for mass production... until the factory caught fire. A couple of factory workers managed to push one prototype out and it was the only car they saved - the Curved Dash Oldsmobile.

Can’t wait until these guys release their fruit punch flavored antifreeze.
