Gets even worse when you consider that the Charger and Challenger are both based on Mercedes’ old E-class chassi which came out in what?, 1998 or something? That’s 20 years ago!

So exactly what type of “safety assistance is it’s missing? Back-up cameras?, frost warning?, traffic announcements?! 

Erhhmm

This^ No way would anyone be running around with 18" wheels back in 1983.

Damn lunatics! I hate to admit it but the respect for the speed limits probably has a lot to do with a country's traffic death rates.

Probably true: I remember going to Spain once and I was literally shit scared over how little respect they seem to have for the speed limits. For example; our taxi driver held a steady 120 km/h on a 70 km/h road going trough a city. And it wasn't like he was the only one doing that, almost all other drivers seemed to…

No we don't! However if you're caught driving more than 20 mph over the limit they take away your licence on the spot and give you a 500-ish dollar ticket to go with it. Hence the small amount of speeding.

Daaaamn them lines! Just looks so futuristic.

Alfetta? Never heard of it, maybe you're referring to the Datsun 120y coupe?

It's also about 10 times cheaper than an AE86 since it wasn't the star of some stupid Japanese anime. (I may be a bit biased since I've DD a s12 for the past 2 months. Goes like hell and no major issues other than a blown turbo...)

Nissan 200sx S12 commercial from 1984, for those who wanted to be like David Hasslehoff but couldn't afford a Trans Am.

PSA: Nearly all mid '70's Camaros and Firebirds were exported to Sweden. Or at least that's what you'd think if you look at the swedish craigslist.

Why did this year old comment suddenly become relevant again?! But yes, the "cowl technology" of the 60's and 70's were just too awesome to be true, though I have to correct myself by saying that the GTX's cowl wasn't automatic.

And yet, even to this day, the replies to that question I asked over a year ago still haunts me.... :P

The last time?

Big fan of you and all, and I've pretty much watched every episode of Overhaulin at least twice. Though there's one thing that kinda bugs me...

Well that's a plus, but still irrelvant. Only watching it because of the car (and Kurt Russell).

What?! A movie with a T/A in it that I havn't seen? I know what I'm doing tonight!

I've heard about this movie before but I've never actually seen it. Anyways I decided that now was the time to watch on this here youtube clip;

Pinchcliffe Grand Prix from 1975. A wonderful "animated" Norwegian movie about a bicycle repairman that decides to follow his dreams and build the ultimate racecar. Might not look like much judging from it's cover, but trust me it's good. This is probably the movie that turned me into a gearhead.
