My dad’s ‘64 Rambler had the same thing but it went to 12. I used to jumpstart it in the yard and drive around the block when I was a kid, laughing about going 2mph.

Back when I was a kid, I dreamed of getting that kit and putting it under the gold Chrysler Laser that was parked for years in someone's backyard on my way home from school. Then I went to the Mopar Nationals near Columbus, OH, and there was a guy with a white 80's Dodge daytona with the RWD kit and a magnum 360 doing…

A little disappointed you didn't reference Bobby Brown with that last sentence...

I always thought the front airbags were there to protect people who won't wear a seatbelt...

Well played.

You know, in addition to Ford overusing the hell of limited, they named an entire series of car LTD (short for limited) and produced multiple body styles (coupe, wagon, convt, sedan, HT sedan) for nigh on 20 years. I remember asking my dad what LTD stood for and he got very aggravated with me. Probably more irritated…

Technically, isn't that what the safety and emissions requirements do? Your Vonnegut reference has (as typical) sparked a whole new discussion in my head.

When I was a kid, there was a '68 Olds Cutlass for sale on the rural highway about an hour from my hometown...we used to pass it on the way to my grandparents for holidays, etc. I always wanted to stop in and take a look at it, and one day a friend and I made the pilgrimage, just after my 16th birthday. For the first…

We got our "several hundred dollar jogging stroller" off CraigsList for $50. It had been used exactly twice. Totally got our money's worth out of it over the past 5 years.

There have been a few AMC, just not many...there was a 71-ish Javelin in a Jalopnik Forza package a few years ago (I almost bought an Xbox 360 just for that), and a few years ago there was a fictionalized Gremlin in one of those dystopian MadMax future games.

Made me look. You are correct about the Google image search...

No, you aren't.

Yeah, but once he burned up a sweet Cadillac just to get rid of some heroin, so I don't know if I can trust that guy.

"trans shifts smooth"...it's gotta be the automatic. If it were a stick, I'd be a lot more enthusiastic with NP.

I have two: a guy I was assigned as a roommate in college in Ohio swore that back home (in Florida) he had a Ferrari F355D. D was for Diesel. Didn't argue, just went with it.

My (older) cousin had a 73 or 74 in brown with tan(ish) half vinyl top. We used to pretend to drive it in Grandma's barn while he was deployed. Not too many pics online that aren't candy-painted and donked out.

Truck must've had a pretty sweet paint job.

I would have gone with "Thunderchero", but I'm digging the sliding rear window. :-)
