Maybe for the same reason the gas-turbine-electric locomotive failed? They were great operating at full speed, but the turbine had to run wide open all the time, wasting fuel.

“...since 2007.?”

This is a brilliant idea. Donohue was one of my favorites back in the day...him and Mario, AJ, Gurney....

So, you’re telling us a shit actor in shit movies has shit “fans?” Huh.

Srsly? You haven’t noticed what we used to call the American “working class” have been trained to be the world’s most accomplished shit eaters?

A new minivan is a better car than the Challenger.

Good memage! Watching the Ford GT stream, I was struck by the M8's size....anyone have a good unedited shot for a true comparison?

Nice work! But we all know about Michael P. Smith, right?

That’s the smaller Monarch, aka Ford Grenada. Not the same car.

I want to party with you, man.

Equalizer, maybe? Of course my friends’ cars had those back in the day. Were they worthless? Probably.

More egregious than an AMC Hornet?

Any sports car is the Buick of the car world.

Ah, yeah. Miles deserved to be known among the all-time greats.

Or you could, you know, choose not to immerse yourself in sports-fan idiot culture. I’m from New England, now in the Midwest, and have found it’s really not that difficult to completely avoid the minority who allow some millionaires’ laundry (which is what sports franchises are) determine their outlook. And it is a…

Yeah, back in the 80s I covered a dust explosion at an elevator similar to this one. The basic concrete structure was intact but every window, door, interior wall was gone and houses across the street had major damage. 6 people killed.

The bicentennial summer I graduated from high school I “worked” for a Chevy dealer driving cars to/from auctions in SD, ND, MN. These were late model full-sized GMs mostly. You’d be surprised what a ‘74 Cutlass would do flat out on a Dakota two lane. Good times.

I was there. The entire “personal luxury” era was abject surrender to the idea of ever again having cool, engaging vehicles, coupled in this case with 1970s GM build quality. Not only opened the door for Japanese makes, it held the door for them and carried their bags.
