heart-click for you, couldn't agree more!

Did you even read the article? This isn't about people who don't look where they're going—it's about people who *can't see* where they're going because visibility out of modern vehicles is generally so poor.

Amusing, but high beltlines aren't caused by mandated safety standards. High beltlines aren't objectively safer, they just (apparently) make new-car shoppers *feel* safer.

If cowls keep getting higher, we might have to—especially for shorter drivers.

I find myself completely un-rankled by this. Let's face it, automakers and consumers have conspired to make this device a necessity by designing cars with ridiculously poor outward visibility, and by buying said cars, respectively. Manufacturers have surveyed consumers who say they feel "safer" when they are…

Yeah, I don't know how I've managed to beat the odds for so long. Even my previous 245, which suffered from a wonky blower motor (the level of noise depended on which way the car was traveling—straight ahead=sort of noisy, turning one way (forget which)=really noisy, turning the other way=no noise), kept going for…

Just picked up a 92 245 that had been off the road for a few years. Got it fired up yesterday, went for a drive around the block, turned on the blower motor and . . . it works perfectly!! The motor in my '75 242 also works great (knock on wood). The blower in my DD '88 745 is pretty noisy, though...

The Cord 812SC was pretty damned advanced for its time: supercharged V8, front wheel drive, hidden headlamps (as well as hidden door hinges—unusual for the time), a radio (again, unusual for the time), variable-speed windshield wipers (when many cars still didn't have wipers at all) and much more that I'm sure I'm…

That is probably the most entertaining thing I will watch all week.

Not a screaming deal, and not a too-perfect-to-drive restoration, but a very clean and sorted-out looking Amazon. It would probably make a nice DD. Everybody who's bitching about the car being slow, dull, etc., is missing the point. Yeah, this car might get smoked in a drag race by a Chevy Aveo, but for many of us…

You guys have it all wrong. This is a prototype of Aston's new retro-themed V8 Vantage (the styling of which, in its original iteration, was often compared to the Mustang). It's gotta be worth a fortune!
