Jason, sorry to hear of your loss.

I've lived in Houston since 1992 and did not know about this jet in the Heights. And I do enjoy a pint at the Petrol Station on occasion. I am definitely going to go look at that thing this weekend. And maybe I'll have to have a beer at the Petrol Station too.

It is cool but it doesn't really look like a radial engine, more like a flat opposed 4 or 6. And racing it in Lemons is cool but no real running airplane engine is worth less than $500.

My brother has an old Fiberfab Aztec Avenger. It is a pretty cool kit car. It was probably made in the late '60s.

I have a yellow '75. It was a great car to have when I was in high school and college. And it got about 40 mpg on the highway.

I have a '75. That one is a GTII.

It isn't the fault of the Dexcool. I worked in the research lab where it was developed and I was part of the tem that won the GM factory fill business. The Dexcool has been completely exhonerated in all of the root cause analysis of the cooling system problems and GM is still using the coolant nearly 20 years after…

How about a '74 Econoline with 3 on the tree? A former telephone company panel van.

There are so many great choices.

Thanks for the article Matt. I went out there on Sunday and bought 3 of the clay warriors. The 6 foot fiberglass ones that were left were pretty beat up so I was disappointed not to get one of those.

Glad to hear that TGUSA was renewed. It may not be as good as the original now and it may never achieve the quality of the original but I have always looked at is as in addition to not instead of. Compared with most of the dreck on TV, I will gladly watch both Top Gears. I agree with many of the comments about the…

I think you have the pounds and gallons switched.

@Cheeseslap spanks his ACR for being good: You say that like it's a bad thing.

@Powerlurker: You know, the insurance thing could be solves simply by allowing insurance agents to issue the stickers rather than grocery stores. If you buy insurance for a year, you can buy the license sticker for a year. If you buy insurance for 6 months, you get a sticker for 6 months. If you want a refund, you…

Good riddance to the red light cameras. There should have been a vote before they were even erected.

Good riddance! They never should have been installed without allowing a vote by the public. I am glad to see them rejected.

@B-Sel: Why would anyone live anywhere but NYC? (a little sarcastic jab at the elites)

Of course the T6 makes a spectacular aerobatic aircraft too. Especially when there are 4 of them.

This behavior infuriates me. I see it in Houston traffic every day. I am glad to know this city has so many people who are so much more important than the rest of us.

If the choice is only between the Duster and the Vega, the Duster wins hands down. The Vega was such an unpleasant car to be in while the Duster was just your typical American car of that era. Not wonderful but not terrible. And those Slant 6s really were bullet proof. They would run forever.
