Pay for this. If it’s going to be your DD, you want this done right and you don’t want the car scattered across the garage for the week or two it will take to accomplish.

Ok, that’s a legit problem. How much did this thing cost you and how much did Tavarish tell you was wrong?

I drove one of those through 4 or 5 winters. As long as your bumper isn’t pushing snow, you will be fine. Get some decent all seasons or some snow tires and you’re set.

One of these might be my answer to the “What car would you build if there were no safety requirements?” QOTD. I’d love to pick up a new one.

God I hope the trend of freestanding screens dies soon. It looks like a flat screen TV was dropped into quick sand.

A brand new one of these, or really, anything built before serious safety regulations:

The best looking Firebirds have always been the ones with the least amount of cheesy spoilers, scoops, and graphics tacked on them.

This is good. This is the profile all hatchbacks should have, not some sloped thing that cuts out storage space. Also, an actual window between the B and C pillars that isn’t a triangle the size of my phone’s screen.

Stef answering the important questions: will it kidnap?

So, the first flight* was in December 2010. It’s December 2015, so that’s 5 years from first flight to FAA approval. Do you know what that’s shorter than?

Are you wondering why they aren’t wearing bright yellow or orange safety vests? The camo is their generic working uniform, so they wear it for everything.

They weren’t recalled because they were discontinued before the standards that Dieselgate circumvented came into effect, IIRC.

This deserves more stars.

The early ones are almost worthless at this point. I don’t know how much more they could depreciate.

If you’re going to get a VW TDI, why not get the ‘screw you, I don’t care about the environment, I just like torque’ version - the V10 TDI Touareg?

This was my suggestion, though a Phaeton W12 would be a good alternative. They’re also expensive, rare, undesirable for anyone who isn’t a massive nerd, and horribly unreliable.

A custom race Powerglide could probably handle it.

Yes. The Turks are one of the larger M60 users these days, and offer a variety of modernization packages, which they don’t seem to have many of, seeing as that one doesn’t even have ERA.

Preferably on Barrett Jackson or some other sales venue that would bring out people with more money than sense. Maybe one of those Japanese classic car shows on the west coast?

If the Italian Mafia were a gang of RPG slinging religious fanatics driving around beheading people for not speaking with a sufficiently cheesy New York accent, then the American people might be ok with foreigners bombing said fanatics. It would help if said foreigners weren’t dropping dumb bombs on schools and…
