As long as you’re there do both. There’s enough variety to keep you entertained.

Just not to the point where you’ll need to replace your knees in another 20 years.

If I means there won’t be screens in my face and maybe a few necessary dials for speed and charge remaining I’ll call it a win.

This is really aggravating and implies that everybody’s going metric rather than electric.

The idea of a car running on a nuclear motor the size of a walnut dates back the 50s. I just hope it’s got good shielding.

Why would you do that when you can go over Loveland Pass instead? That’s what all the cool* trucks do.

Copper Harbor has Brockway Mountain Drive

There are a few real and decent replica WRC Quattros in Michigan alone.

Show cars/rods/lowriders are the creature of their creator or the person it was made for. Any subsequent owners are caretakers of that person’s legacy and that can be really cool when it’s something that’s part of the family or club or a friend.

Someone beat me to Hunter’s Interceptor so I’ll go with the Morphomobile.

We can’t make fun of religious fanatics anymore. That makes me sad.

That car as NO alibi.

It still had a solid rear axle, but wasn’t too bad. Plus Lotus helped develop a decent twin-cam head.

Didn’t that change in 86 as well? Otherwise it’s the same setup BL used in the 60s and 70s.

That wasn’t appropriate to use in conversation forty years ago and this guy is 28? What rock have these people been hiding under? And more importantly what has brought them out?

My only nits so far are that souped up puckups weren’t really a thing in the 50s, and the geography of “Midwest” east of Chicago never seemed to end. Once you’re halfway through New York (and definitely east of the Hudson) the geography really changes. The Bentley’s a nice exotic touch and the 49 Fords look good.

You can’t get a bench in the Malibu, anymore, though.

I was really interested in that. They went through the trouble to give it an independent rear suspension and everything. It’s still sold in the rest of the world but the US market is rigged to peddle nothing but generic crap unless you’re rich.

I remember finding a Top Gear episode on YouTube from 82 or 83 where Will Woollard explains it with a spare Audi transmission/front diff on cinder blocks. Subaru’s viscous system was a good cheap alternative in the early 2000s but I think Haldex has finally caught up even if there may still be some electronic concerns.

If one glance at his record doesn’t make that obvious you’re spare parts, bud.
