I think there is some demented importer who is taking KIAs off the dock and dressing them up as Pontiacs. That is the only theory I can think of that explains why there are still so many Pontiacs on the road in the hands of hamfisted yahoos.

“The defendant is accused of selling wine before its time.  How do you plea?”

UPDATE: Kaz Grala now has a ride this season with Richard Childress, so no problems with having to scrounge for a ragdoll car from now on.

Lately I’ve been trying to solve an automotive thought experiment:
* Part 1: What would have been the minimal changes needed for the C111-Ⅱ to be street-legal in the U.S. in the middle 1970s (presuming either a reliable rotary engine got developed or M-B just fitted it with an existing production engine)?

The KnoxNews Auto Show is this weekend and I think you boys just saved me ten bucks I don’t really have.

From what I’d read about Ranger, the idea was to expand the number of dealers, especially in Africa.

How did that commercial go? All supervillains drive JAGUARS?

Does Saleen have an alibi? By your account, this ISN’T The first time for them!

SOLD for $45,000 following an intense bidding duel.

Two days left and it’s at $14,000.

I would never have the money for that in a million years. I’d be tempted to submit that for PowerNation TV as a “Search & Restore” variety project and make those jokers in Nashville do all the work rebuilding it.

Useless Fact: A kilogram of propane has the same explosive force as THIRTY sticks of dynamite.

I hope the Mustang winds up with an SVRA team. It’ll be eligible for Group 10 in a few years...where it can throw down against Chevelles, Roadrunners, and Cutlass Supremes!

It’s an arguable premise that all the best commercials for the Chevy Camaro over the decades have featured woman drivers. Just one of many data.

Surprisingly, Warner Brothers—evidently at the nadir of their Spielbergian period which included Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Taz-Mania and the DC Comics adaptations.
