As an old geezer who was a teenage car nerd in the 80’s, please let me explain the phenomenon of stashing turbo Buicks as future collector cars that was rampant in 1986-1987. In the mid 1980’s, the automotive world was firmly ensconced in that fuzzy, depressing state called the Malaise Era. Cars were slow. Really…

involves cutting a giant hole in the hull.

Guy couldn’t even tell us the colour of the boathouse at Hereford. 

I recently re-watched Ronin for the first time in a long time, and I had forgotten just how good and how beefy the car chases are in that film. Solid film with some really great car action.

I would consider that justifiable force.

Tracy breeds rust, he doesn’t repair it.

Now I don’t work in marketing, but ragging on the people most likely to be able to afford your product seems counter-intuitive.

Ignoring the community part of Oppo that definitely wouldn’t be replicated in r/cars at Reddit, the inability to post photos in comments is a deal breaker.

Probably a more specific, Jalopnik centered, sense of community? It’s existed all this time with Reddit also existing so people found something good about it. 

California’s CHP had Fox body Mustangs for ages.  There’s even a documentary about CHP motorcycle cops (where are you gonna put a perp on one of those?).  I think it was called CHiPs.

Agreed. Honestly, at this rate, I’d rather let them shit out the digital copy and release the physical 3 months later and I’d wait for that.

Why in the hell wouldn’t I just buy the base model and do an aftermarket update that unlocks all that for next to nothing?

“He does a lot of the behind the scenes stuff, unlike Mike ever did.”

Maybe they had family that was killed at Cars and Coffee? 

No, we need to focus him on RX cars now.

It seems like Jeep has always been owned by an auto manufacturer who can’t afford to actually be an auto manufacturer. It took the 4-door Wrangler to make Jeep rich enough to finally prop up its parent company.

lol

There’s a world of retro games out there, if you haven’t dipped your toe in yet. We’re replaying Parasite Eve in the spirit of Halloween (even though it’s set at Christmas)—it’s fantastic, and not a micro transaction in sight!

I need to get a new hobby, one that doesn’t involve micro transactions and dlc.

Seeing the Roadmaster sedan (and wagon) and Olds Custom Cruiser in that condition and knowing that they are becoming increasingly rare hurts my heart a little bit. I can only hope that they were hopeless heaps before they ended up there. Still a petty awesome event though, would love to join something like this myself!
