It will always be “National” to me.

An additional $5-7k will need to be baked into the total initial cost, but I still kind of like it. If it can be bought for $10k then NP.

A “Fuel Shark” for EVs? Damn! I could just kick myself for not thinking of this! Maybe it’s not too late to hawk one for solar panels!

You do know that all goats have worms, don’t you?  

If it had the Lima engine and a 5 speed it would have been mine.

Non-matching tires is an automatic disqualifier, no matter what brand of car.

I will never buy a Ferrari from Facebook Marketplace. ND.

When I had my windshield replaced on my Chevy Cruze, the guy from Safelite said the crack wasn’t in my “field of vision”. I got very indignant and told him I consider the entire windshield my “field of vision”.  He replaced my windshield and my insurance carrier covered the entire cost.  Bullshit.  Every window is my…

Second place:  Put Em On the Glass.

DeSantis and the current Republican Party have no ability to consider the second and third order effects of their decisions and policies.

Neutral:  The last Crown Vic.  Ford perfected that 30+ year old body on frame.  BOF forever!

Please don’t tell me you were pulled over on I-95.  Damn, every other car has Ontario or Quebec license plates.  

Maybe I should crawl under my pickup and put air in the spare tire.  Maybe I should replace that spare tire since it came with the truck 16 years ago.  I don’t know, seems like a lot of work.

A recent article at Hagerty spelled out how dire it is with collision repair:

I’ve seen this Olds V5 in an auto magazine many years ago, and small writeups on other web sites. This thing has me intrigued, but I need more information, starting with crank configuration and firing order.  It seems that whatever specs that were developed hit the dumpster decades ago.  

When I started my first “real” job in 1982, my branch chief had a secretary to handle calls and correspondence.   Years later when I was promoted to the same level, my secretary was the computer in front of me to do my own damn correspondence.  My phone did have caller ID, so I could screen calls, at least.

My brother bought a brand new ‘78 Trans Am when they were just slapping them together on the assembly line, and it showed. It was an incredible piece of shit. It rattled and squeaked like it had 100k miles on it. The dealership’s remedy for the leaking T-tops was to give him a towel. The best part was that I owned a…

If for whatever reason I owned an albatross of a Mustang II, I would do the same thing. However, I remember reading that the Pinto-based Mustang II frame couldn’t handle the horsepower and torque of anything more than the lame engines they put in them.

If they called it the Pinto II instead it might be considered a performance car.

“Selvage” title and pre-Selvage pictures?  Run away!
