So what your saying is if you see a Tesla X parked across two spaces its not because they are a jerk but are actually sparing other cars from door dings.

I dislike Colt’s because they remind me how bad it was at Chrysler in the late 70s but that car looks virtually flawless. NP.

The ability to change the layout of the pickup is pretty big as far as it comes to building a full line of trucks to meet multiple needs. I imagine the difference in cost between a full range of pickups with body on frame production vs unibody has to be extensive. Aside from a few advantages I think it comes down to…

Im actually surprised that a chrome Bumper MGB GT and Rubber Bumper MGB were so close in value. The chrome bumper is more desirable by the MG enthusiasts, although those guys seem to have Stockholm Syndrome. Maybe being able to painstakingly return the Rubber Bumper car to proper Chrome Bumper ride height is what they…

You stay away from the major auction house because as mentioned it could go really high or really low depending on who shows up and regardless of what it sells for they take a cut. This is a car that has a smaller niche. If you have a original numbers matching 1970 4 speed plum crazy hemicuda, taking it to an auction…

It looks like they just made really long control arms and mounted them to the stock locations. If they built a new cross-member and mounted it just ahead of the engine they could use long control arms that dont change camber drastically throughout the range and still drive it on a two lane road. The parts and the…

I thought the philosophy of Lotus was their cars are fast because they are light and simple. You could very nearly buy a Fiesta St 20,000 that would still be lighter than the Lotus by 200-300 pounds. My all steel MGB with a cast Iron V6 weighs 900 pounds less than this Lotus, and its overweight for the class I race it…

I read in an old Hastings Hot Rodding book that the AMC engines came stamped with whether the bearings the factory put in them were under or oversized. I think as the big 3 updated tooling AMC never had the money to keep up. Even looking at early Jeep Cherokees the body panels seemed to be wavier compared to mid-late…

I like the concept, kinda like a sprint car that makes so much power a transmission would slow it down, so they just add and In and Out Box. It must reverse entirely on the electric motors.

They probably didn’t factor it in because crime data suggests that your 95 Accord will be stolen, ergo the Leaf is the better alternative.

My biggest problems not the flaming sword, its the Chrysler Crossfire. Even as a Chrysler fan I cant stand those hateful hunks of scrap.

I would put most used Mitsubishi’s in the crack pipe column at that price. They are great cars to lease but as the miles tick by and the rattles manifest into a symphony of mediocrity, you realize its not a good beater, the type that feels cheap but takes endless abuse, but the other kind where it tries to compete…

1962 Imperial

I can’t help wondering what this would be like in a Dodge Diplomat, SRT Drivetrain with this attention to detail and some one off parts on Corinthian Leather.

I’m not sure if any of these prices are accurate after the rebates. The last time I was in a dealer the Chevy salesmen were talking about how cheap it was to buy a new Chevy because of the rebates they had going on at the time. I didn’t heed it much advice because we were there to look at a used car, but once you look…

But does it run like a Deer?

How many college kids do you know who have 7k laying around for a cheap car? Most of the ones I knew had about a third of that max for a car.

My gut is telling me this is in a lot worse shape than it appears. Those flat panels are a pain in the but to repair, its too modified to easily restore and a 327 with a truck 4 speed isn’t going to be enjoyable to drive. So either its a bad restomod that needs a lot of work to be enjoyable or a restoration project…

I saw them a couple of years ago and glacier national park continues to run thier fleet, although a decade ago ford retrofitted modern truck chassis under them. I assumed that they had done the same in Yellowstone but maybe they haven’t.

Among the rare terrible crop of cars we have seen lately. CP at $5500 or anything over 1500 in my book. There is no upside to this, unless you enjoy being miserable.
