RANKER puts forth the Camaro, but perhaps I’d personally prefer the Ford Falcon of that year? Or maybe be really into my British and get a Corsair 2000E?

Not to mention all those Airbus superjumbos and Boeing 747s that the airlines are retiring now.  Why settle for less when you can have more?

Dumb idea I’d had years ago:

Living in eastern Tennessee east of Knoxville. Went to Greenville, SC for a trade show several years back, and on the way back missed the road to Hendersonville, NC and wound up going east to Spartanburg, where I caught the Interstate going back through Asheville.

My Toyota Tercel (owned from 1990 to 1992) only had sixty hp but since it didn’t weight very much I didn’t care.  My Mercury Topaz, OTOH, had 50% more horses but certainly didn’t feel any better to drive.

The reason why Jones joins the LoTeks is that the U.S. LOST its last war and is a failed state that can’t care for its veterans, human or otherwise. The place has as much loose military firepower as Yemen; in Count Zero one of the protagonists gets a relatively new fighter jet and a surplus armored hovercraft among…

The real mistake was that Studebaker-Packard got Curtiss-Wright as their management, who proceeded to loot and plunder them out of profitability.  but what would have happened if S-P had gotten Kaiser and Willys FIRST?
