None of those things were true of my ‘85 Mighty Max except perhaps the small interior part and that never bothered me because I'm a skinny guy to begin with.

THIS. I spent a week in NYC with my foot in a boot and the subway was very difficult to get around. I can’t imagine what it’s like got someone with a permanent disability. I guess you just have to move to Omaha then or something.

After spending a week in Manhatten I found myself asking why there are no crosstown tunnels? Add a couple of those and watch traffic improve everywhere. Oh and charge extra to drive in Manhatten if your car isn’t painted yellow.

The only thing better than a classic Corvette is two classic Corvettes…

So what about the 124 Spider Abarth??? :-)

I was very happy with my first-200 1995 Dodge Neon ACR sedan. In fact if I hadn’t been rear-ended on the freeway I might still have it today (it was repaired but the rear quarter really should have been replaced, not repaired so I was never happy with the work). A great handling car with good performance for the day.…

It’s starting to look to me that the problems are outweighing the prestige Pirelli gets from supplying Formula One with tires. IMHO they should just walk away and let F1 buy their tires elsewhere, perhaps from Firestone. Else Pirelli = blowout is going to be entrenched in people’s minds and how is that going to help…

My dad used to pick me up after football practice/games in his 300SL, that’s pretty insane IMHO. Sadly he sold it just before I got my license (I don’t think this is his pictured although it was red).

I actually kind of like the way the PT looks but as it was a bare-bones car underneath it lacks the punch that the HHR SS had. With a better engine under the hood I’d give it to the PT on looks but as-built I have to give the early-2000s retro-car crown to the HHR.

I had an ‘88 XR4Ti I bought with just 29,000 miles on it and loved it. I even added Ford and Sierra badges to it but even so there’s no way I can go $15k on this one given the better examples in the comments, both replicas in the U.S. and the real thing in Europe.

Having grown of age in the 1970s pretty much every new car we lusted after was one of the worst cars ever built. But the worst car I actually considered purchasing was a 1979 AMC Sprit. Instead I went for a ’79 Mustang coupe with a turbo-4 and the TRX suspension. However that was as half-baked as every other American…

Dang, someone flagged it. No one had a better top-10 choice so they flagged this one?

This $27000 1985 Lada 2105 with a claimed (but unexplained) 650 hp is probably the worst deal but also one of the coolest things for sale on Craigslist at the moment.

Easy to do in Seattle!

Let me try again, inspections take time which require paying employees properly to do them. If the charge is allowed to float some shops will try to undercut others not by paying their employees less (mechanics, at least good ones, can easily change shops) but by skipping steps or doing nothing at all but calling it…

But the difference here is that Russia’s ability to replace lost aircraft is nowhere near ours, both because of low capacity to create replacements and because of money. Each crash degrades their abilities a small amount and over time these small losses add up. If were were loosing 6 aircraft every two months rather…

The article also mentions losses of MiG-29, Su-24 and Su-34 fighter jets, I on,y brought up the Bear because it graphically indicates how high their loss rate is and because unlike the fighters they have no capacity to replace lost aircraft. The Mig-29 problem was even so great they grounded the entire fleet for a…

Yes it is although the Abarth is also rumored to be slightly detuned to around 200 hp so as not to embarrass the 4C.

The state clearly doesn’t want or have the resources to monitor the inspectors but by setting a minimum charge equal to what it would really cost to do a true inspection (going labor rate times the amount of time to properly inspect) it will remove the temptation for shops to offer cheap “rubber stamp” inspections…
