It’s kind of frightening that they’d let you on the streets with tires in that condition. Is that normal? How do you break them in without dying?

Well, that full-width taillight assembly sure screams FD.

Yikes.

Perfect as-is! I’d be sourcing a vintage looking radio. IMO there’s little that lets an old car’s interior down as much as a modern radio faceplate. The funky paint must stay!

Couldn’t you drive that at home?

Honda CRX HF (High Efficiency)

Yes, but that wouldn’t be a very interesting list!

Fun video, but it’s useless! They skip a few generations/changes (including the 4th gen), and show a ‘59 even though that generation started in ‘57. Cute graphics, but I’ll still refer to Wikipedia.

I also would bet if he’s part of the royal family, he can bring whatever he wants into the country. But, I’m not part of a royal family.

Well, it has tract in its name and all...

Don’t encourage them! I like weird cars, but...

I need more info on this truck!

I personally built a 40” long boat tail on the back of my old Ford Probe and it rocketed my highway fuel economy up to 40mpg (versus 28hwy EPA “estimated”), with no discernible stop and go detriment... so I know that rear end extensions work. They work very well.

Yum.

Yeah, it goes back 80 years!

Yes, definitely. Most people underestimate the power of aerodynamics, but when you’re driving on the freeway, the thing that makes a difference is not weight (you’ve got your momentum already), but drag. In the city it’s the opposite, but even a hundred pounds extra won’t likely make much of a difference in fuel…

Kamm showed us how to set up the rear bodywork for a teardrop shaped wake, but the more you fill that wake, the better your aero will be. Remember, spiraling eddies of air in the wake take energy to spin, and that energy is coming from the engine. However, it’s a law of diminishing returns, and the last 10% of the…

It’s a concept... wait a few years and it’ll get nice and bulbous over those rear head room criteria! Hehe, only half kidding.

All of Uhaul’s trucks are registered in Arizona, where the company is headquartered. Similarly, I would guess that your local police department rents or leases the vehicle from a Montana company... but I’m no lawyer!

So, within 15-20 years of this feature being standard you’ll see it on kids’ used cars. Some things just take time.
