'37 Studebaker Coupe Express.

I rebuilt a Renault 1.4 top end once, for a shade tree mechanic who pulled the head in his front yard. It was a nightmare.

@arozzi: I got stuck behind one on the way to work once. It was very random.

The Pinzgauer. Damn sure doesn't look too good clean, anyway.

When he gets to heaven, I bet you a dollar he calls St. Peter "bro."

@pauljones: I think you both have a point. American car consumers would be stupid either way, but 'Yota could have been less Machiavellian about marketing cars to people who were bound and determined to turn them into deathtraps.

Chimpanzees are not monkeys! Good night!

@Kangaru: And don't forget about the carburetor fires....

The Olds 350 diesel should be in the top 10. I think it still has the record for AFA warranty claims.

@hawkeye18: The other problem with the Northstars was the gasket on the bed plate. Another job you had to do with the engine on a stand, and they blew a lot too, because nobody knew you were supposed to periodically retorque the main bolts.

Shit, just 0.12? I could swing that at 8 in the morning most days...

@Ben Wojdyla: Like the old pope. I've actually been mentally pronouncing it that way the whole time.

@87CapriceEstate going on 2 years: Thank you for pointing out that chimpanzees are not monkeys. That's one of those things that really gets under my skin.

I saw a Lomax in town once.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Or his nuts.

MkIII Supra. I just think they're pretty.

@BrtStlnd: I keep thinking he was inspired to it by watching Gene battle cancer and host shows by phone from his hospital bed. They're gamers.

@Optixtruf: My mom just bought one.

My neighbor got one of these recently, and he loves it to death. He commutes 75 miles each way to Oakland, and has never gotten less than 41 mpg on the trip. He let me drive it, and it was kind of fun trying to keep the mileage as low as possible. Nice interior fit & finish, too; very unlike Fords of old.

@brandegee: When I worked as a machinist, I once had a guy call me and tell me he had broken off a thread chaser in a head bolt hole on one of these things. He said, "what do I do?" I said, "cry."
