A '96 might be a bit late, but I fully predict first-gen Chrysler minivans will be a thing within 10 years.

Exactly. I like to snoop around junk/antique shops, and anyone in the business will tell you anything that was sold with a "collectable" label is worthless.

Wait, "Slim Borgudd?" Did he go on to a successful sprint-car career, at least?

It's actually frightening how similar these look. This is the '85 "high performance" variant. My buddy had one that wasn't quite this nice. We're both lucky to be alive.

We had Cavaliers here in the '80s, too. No way yours could be worse.

See, these are the NPCP entries that are brilliant in their insanity. On the one hand, this took a level of skill and drunken imagination I have to admire. On the other hand, WTF?

Was this a body kit offered for the C2 back when these cars weren't worth jack? I don't know, and the ad isn't telling. Once thing's for sure, the work that was done looks - at least as far as Craigslist can offer - to have been professionally accomplished.

Would Haas make a run at buying (totally random pick here) a Marussia or Caterham? He's no idiot. If he has a realistic idea what he's getting into and has the money lined up and will spend it, I'd say he has a shot. This is without getting into the driver issue, of course.

These are an option, but they cost twice as much (at least) as regular one-lane gates.

Really? So an engineer shouldn't be traumatized after killing some kids whose dumbass parent ran the crossing lights in front of his train?

No, the key word here is "racing."

Yeah, it deserves the win just on weirdness alone. At $10k, though, I don't know that I'd spend my money on it.

Connecticut IS a gated community.

Gattica is utopian scifi, right? Because in the future everyone drives a Citreon or an Avanti?

Man, this one is hard to answer. If we're voting with our own money, no way I could afford $20k for a 40-year-old car. And can/should I drive it? But as a car, it's awesome. Suppose you found one of these in excellent shape with, say, 60k miles, for under 10 grand? Put a set of Minilites on it, you'd have a Japanese…

I forget the precise figure, but I've read the governors on Schneider rigs (and others I'm sure) are set around the low 60's.

Well, it's the track switches, not the entire track itself, that require heating. Track switches are the sections with movable (sliding) rails that allow trains to shift from one track to another. The mechanism that does the sliding must be kept unfrozen and free of ice and snow to function, hence the gas-fired…

I'm pretty sure Schneider is among the companies fitting their tractors with governors so they can't speed.

Can we just have one vote for all time on these and move on, please? The Camaro/Mustang/Pinto/whatever-on-a-4x4 has been around since at least the early '80s, and no one other than their builders wants one.

Brilliant, man.
