Danger Mouse had the best ride... The Mark III!

For some reason in 2004 I thought a $500 Corvair convertible was a good idea. I bought it from a collector in Charlottesville and dolly-towed it all the way back to Norfolk, Va. I had never messed with a Corvair before and I really didn’t inspect this one closely enough before I bought it. Sure, it looked like a nice…

If blocking a vehicle with a cone gives Waymo the legal right to prosecute, then I should be able to prosecute the hell out of the Virginia Department of Transportation.

I think that I shall never see
An SUV stuck in a tree.

I was 15 years old. I had just taken a job at a Baskin Robbins in a mall food court and after just a couple of weeks on the job, I was fired - and in the worst possible way. No warnings, no major indicators about my performance, instead the boss intercepted me when I showed up for my shift and let me know before the…

Anything from the Christine sountrack... automatically I see that ‘58 Plymouth Fury

Cozy Coupe. Learn to pad a seat, Little Tykes. Jeez.

Polestar?!

People who jump up and crush towards the front of the plane as soon as it comes to a stop, then stand in line impatiently with zero understanding of how long it takes to attach the jetway.

I feel like this is my fault.

If he just needs 40 more horsepower, then a K&N Air Filter and seven performance part stickers should do the trick.

No love for Smokey Yunick’s infamous cheat-loaded 1966 Chevelle?

Awesome, huh? Also recommend watching the first film adaptation - Wages of Fear. Also good for different reasons!

As the co-host of Reels & Wheels Podcast, I’m putting in another plug for my surprise favorite movie in five years of podcasting - Sorcerer. Yeah, it’s got a very long first act before the wrenching starts, but man, from the time the main characters start working on the trucks to the very end it is pure awesomeness.

1983 Hurst Olds with those awesome Lightning Rod shifters. There was on in my area for less than $4,000 and it looked in pretty good shape. I get a new daily driver every few years and I was in the middle of daily driving a 1976 Celica and had already had a 1987 Monte Carlo SS as a daily. I just couldn’t see daily…

Gonna have to go all the way back to driver’s ed. Our high school had a small fleet of “range cars” that we could use in a closed parking lot - the two “nicest” ones got on-the-road duty - a Gen 1 Chevy Cavalier and a Plymouth Reliant.

The 4-4-2 is an up-badged Cutlass S. I made the decision kind of late in the game when I was getting paint done so I still have some Cutlass badge holes in the body so it’s super obvious. Not that it matters. The original 350 with 2-speed auto both blew a very long time ago and it now has a 425 with a Muncie 4-speed.…

This is definitely a reminder of the major flaw of speed/red light cameras - without a human eye, you really can’t enforce things properly. An officer who witnesses a driver go through a red light can make a judgement call - was this a rampaging maniac who just endangered everyone or was this someone who didn’t stop…

Mine is a 1980 Spitfire 1500. Only mods are a single weber conversion and a header. I really like it with the Weber. Makes it way more trouble free. Going to have to address the transmission at some point since it whines in 3rd gear and likes to pop out of reverse, but I’m having too much fun driving it.

The 1968 Olds is the reliable one. I guess. I mean, the Spit does start every time I try it. And the Spit has never left me stranded. It just doesn’t have overdrive, so the fun has to stay at around 50 mph.
