Except it wasn't hilarious. It was barely funny. Stale stereotypes don't get less hacky when said in Ye Olde Englishe Accente.

Those were great! I've always wanted to try my hand at driving an older diesel truck with the duplex gearbox.

“Isn’t Rolex spelled with only one X?”

This right here is just a bad sign.

Ditto. I just like the way they look and it’d be nice to not worry so much in winter. But I have a tough time buying a car that’s less practical than a Miata in a lot of ways, and gets such awful economy to boot, just because I like the looks of it.

Funny, last year at the Chicago Auto Show (2014), all the wranglers were sticks. I feel special!

This will be voted a CP because a seventies barge isn’t in the typical Jalop wheelhouse, but I believe it’s priced about market, maybe a tad high. But, if it’s a genuine sub-30k miler and original, then it’s quite a find.

Well, what currently passes for “drifting” in competition should really be called “power sliding”. A proper drift involves having all four wheels sliding, and not just the rears in a cloud of smoke. The linked video is of some proper four wheel drifting. It’s a thing of beauty.

RHD imports aren’t that common here, because obviously the nearest RHD markets are long sea voyages away. Outside of the vintage car market, you’re not that likely to find an RHD car for sale that was originally sold here in LHD form. It happens once in a while with old British cars, but that’s about it.

Lots of things I’d buy if I had the cash, unlimited storage, and found a good one for sale:

Datsun B210 (probably the nicest crapcan I’d get)

CP, but I kind of like the idea of rescuing it and turning it into a hot rod or something. Just not at that price.

A lot of people will go “but Crown Vic! Police Interceptor! RWD!!!” But you need to think outside the option package. What we have here isn’t a direct competitor to an all white Crown Vic. What we have is a dirt cheap sedan, with a decent amount of space, that’s been properly taken care of and not beat to death,…

It’s unusual. It’ll stick out in a parking lot full of Fordrolet Corollaccords as well as a show and shine full of ‘60something Mustamaros and Chevellacudas. Fast enough and practical enough to be actually driven places other than the show and shine, and not so terribly expensive that you feel the need to keep it…

It was the day I finally quit actively trying to watch F1 racing on television. I make a sole exception for Monaco, because watching cars drive fast through the Principality is always fun - I’d rather they televised the Monaco Historique but you take what you can get.

Well, trucks were a large GM bright spot for a long time - my uncle’s got a ‘97 Silverado 1-ton 4x4 work truck for his company that’s got something like 200K on it, sits outside most of the time, and is used for hauling stuff all over the place (like a full load of scrap from a jobsite) and plowing the parking lot.…

I realize he’s just walking but at first I thought he was just leaning over at an angle, falling down.

Not an original manual transmission car. I believe that the manual was only available with the V-12 for the first year, and they were leftover E type four speeds. Any other factory sticks were six cylinder cars.

Nice car but way over market.

There was a guy around my neighborhood who had a Mustang II hatchback that he’d built up into a stupidly fast drag car. Started with a clean base model, had a huge crate motor on it, cage, the works, and it was still street driven quite often. Apparently you can shoehorn in all kinds of drivelines. I’d totally rock…

I saw Rusty Esophagus do an amazing show at the Aragon back in ‘77. Diesel Brown and the Stix opened. Fuckin’ awesome.
