Gotta give some love to Jennings Motorsports. Listening to this guy calmly talk his way through trying to get a car that rusted halfway through a tree 70 years ago to start is all the optimism you will ever need in your life:

Glad to be of service, although it’s hardly nostalgia for me. I had a ‘94 Trans Am and loved everything about it except that awful LT1 engine. And the T-Tops didn’t leak a drop.  And it looked more bats**t insane than the Camaro. The LT1 randomly threw a rod on me, sadly. Now I drive a 3rd Gen Firebird (I have a soft…

Everything that was right or wrong with the 1990's is on display with the 1993 Camaro. No corners. Bubbles everywhere. Our strange obsession with hiding roof pillars. The strange idea that it should have a spoiler that you can’t see from the car’s profile (WHY?!?!?). Little to no grill.

Here’s a deep cut - The Oldsmobile 425 V8.

Tempted to pick this up and stick it in my garage. I have a Triumph Spitfire and since it doesn’t have it’s “Spitfire 1500" badging, I get a lot of shouts of “Nice Alfa!”.

My mother loves her 2014 XTerra and has kept it longer than she’s kept any other vehicle. It’s getting old and she wishes it had more creature comforts... but she doesn’t want to give up driving a real truck-based SUV.  She also doesn’t want to deal with a car payment since she’s trying to be responsible with money.…

As someone who was born in 1975, I’m really proud that I’ve held up a hell of a lot better than the Chevy Vega. 

Not just missing HB Halicki, also Hal Needham should totally be on this list!

I was rebuilding the shifter in my 1980 Spitfire. It’s a super easy job because Triumph was cool enough to make a removable tunnel panel between the seats, giving you full access to the transmission from inside the car. I decided to do some cleanup while I had it all apart...

I’m not sure anything can beat making Ricky Rudd drive around in a giant box of Tide.

My biggest frustration with my 1989 Pontiac Firebird? There’s a plastic lower panel under the dashboard that covers up everything below the steering column, but it constantly slips down just far enough that my toes hit it when I’m trying to clutch or brake. I don’t want to just rip it out and leave all the wires…

“and there’s an oil leak that may need attention.”

I’m going to have a mural on my 1976 Chevy van of a 1976 Chevy van, but just two inches to the right. 

When I had a 1991 Corvette, I got a little excited because there weren’t a lot like mine - Obnoxious teal with a 6-speed and cloth interior (and that awesome L98 engine - still hold this was way better than the LT-1. Fight me).

I think I’ve related this story here on Jalopnik before, but it fits this category best, so here goes...

Ran when parked. Heater blows hot.

Gonna have to go with the Soviet’s Prop-M Mars Rover. Probably should have designed a better way to get that bad boy onto the planet without crashing into it.

Southeastern Virginia, AKA Hampton Roads, AKA Tidewater, AKA Coastal Virginia, AKA bridges and tunnels everywhere. The main artery and in out of the area, the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel is a bizarro traffic nightmare that backs up simply because people don’t keep their speed up in the tunnel. That’s it. The reasons…

Yeah! Why would they carve her tweet into the wall when they could blast her singing it through the loudspeakers instead?

Again, not saying it was a boring truck or not fun, just compared to every other car I’ve had it was the least interesting. It was crazy fun. Especially when it snowed and for practical purposes it was useless, but so. much. fun.
