And why not DUAL bike tires on each front corner? Lower contact area but more spread out.

1) Keep my current car running till this time next year, when it qualifies for Antique plates.
2) Get a new-to-me daily driver.

Invisible Monkey Time

Back then it wasn’t just Chevy. Look at the Vauxhall Viva/Magnum and how well that did in Canada.
If some time-travelling adventurer stranded me in 1972 and I had to buy a small, GM built car, I’d go to a Buick dealer and order an Opel.

If your desire to know more has intensified...

I’m reminded of Richard Hammond and his adventures with the Noble supercar in Italy on TOP GEAR...
“...sure it’s got an engine from a Volvo SUV—but Yamaha makes it, and they’ve done some amazing bike engines...and then the carbuilders stuck a couple of turbos on it.”

The translation really helps the video.

For the Christopher Reeve movie Somewhere in Time they used Mackinac as a location and brought in antique cars to help the setting.  Just a Datum.

Absolutely all for it.  Heck, film production companies should buy them for the motor pools.

Last time I did I had the excuse that I was doing the legwork for the actual potential buyer (in this case, my sister). I did once test drive a car for the prize that they were offering, only to get shafted out of the prize. I don’t feel guilty about that. Decades ago, water under the bridge, the place went out of…

Think Jalopnik can do an article about how to be a profitable loser team in NASCAR? Lose on Sunday, win in the spreadsheets?

As a Simona fan, I feel very conflicted.

This was more interesting than I thought it would be. I want to do my own low-budget motorsports movie someday and the video was an education of sorts.
Back in the Seventies Fangoria or Starlog did an article about the shop that built the vehicles for Damnation Alley and the original Death Race 2000.  The builder said…

Riding Bean was a one-shot video by Kenichi Sonada, who is famous for also creating Bubblegum Crisis and Gall Force. It’s in the same continuity as his Gunsmith Cats series. As you can see, he borrowed heavily from Stateside chase movies, and The Blues Brothers is one of his favorites.

Closest thing I got to doing something like this with my own mother was to take her to a pre-owned luxury car dealership so she could try out the passenger seat of a Rolls-Royce.
She was a fiction author.  It was “research”.

Other people are free to call my car boring. I don’t blame them.  I’ve had plenty of fun with it over the fifteen years I’ve had it, so I won’t complain.

Energy drinks usually give me headaches (possibly because of the guarana).  How about this stuff?

They’d be pics of Pontiacs.
