straight cut cam gear FTW. the motor goes WeeWeeWeeWee all the way home.

@JessicaLovejoy: Laughing, riding, cornholing!: you get a grad student's attention with a vaguely po-mo title involving a colon. you make the sale with free pizza.

oh come on, with the 993 overheat BS. At least you understand that proper 911s are aircooled. Sure, Porsche really could have gone watercooled much sooner, but they stayed AC to prove a point (we kick ass at engineering).

@Serolf Divad: they should have gone with more of a TVR griffin treatment, but yes, i wanted that bad.

@Kerc 2.0 beta: i love those things. and they really do seat 4!

so basically, he's talking about a 5 series beemer?

i've always enjoyed the fact that mopars command a big price because a lot of them have rotted into dust. Ironic. So wait, to make sure a car's worth something, make it really poorly, got it!

who is copyreading these weekend pieces? BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO.

@Ralph Wiley Is Poised: VI, IV, you know what i meant. I do love the Choo Choo Customs line though!

this is bullshit. a bubble caprice makes it and no Lincoln MkVI?

@screemname: he apparently owns a cavalier z24.

@ccc40821: like that shitheel even knows where Stalingrad is??

@gray totoro who wants to be a mechanical engineer because he loves cars.: that, and the famed "GS" will go 60 all fucking day long, up hills or down, whether your hair is cut neat or you wear a parka in the wind and sleet or not. Seriously. I rode an SS180 200 miles and the damn thing just goes 60-65 all day long…

@DMCVegas: oh my god, i remember that book! i ordered it in what, 4th grade, from the little Scholastic order form, remember those. i also had a stratos rc car from radio shack (not that i knew wth it was). The 80s were a good time to be a little boy.

this pains me to my soul.

Prediction: Vinny trashes the Henry J for poor mileage.

@TexanIdiot25 - can't heel-toe downshift with big feet: ok, so my money math is wrong. now tell me that car doesn't kick ass... you can't.

this is a great piece, sort of a pilgrim's progress. humility is something i look for in jalopnik writers.

@vc-10: says what? they knew it wouldn't break down.

@MattScheidt: i want to know what this moron drives, so we can check back in in 50 years and see who still carries a torch for a cavalier.
