I used to have a mate back in Australia who would change cars every 2 years. He would buy a stock standard white V8 Ford Falcon and have it delivered to his mechanic, an ex F1 mechanic. The donk would be removed, balanced and blueprinted and a whole shitload of toys installed and suspension and braking upgraded after…

Listen cubby, 160k km might not be much in the US on a quality built car but here in Brazil where the cars don’t meet us safety standards and are poorly built, roads are mostly holes and post sales car parts are often so poorly made they are useless, 160k km on a 23 year old car that is actually a VW chassis sitting…

Yea, all true. I do most of what you said when I buy a used car but you really need a good mechanic who won’t screw you. I love doing my own wrenching but I no longer have time or space. I usually drive straight to the mechanic after buying and tell him to change all consumables, flush and test the cooling system and…

Perhaps he was selling off bits of it along the way to pay for gasoline. I imagine him arriving at the end of the journey carrying just one wheel rim.

Sorry but there has NEVER been a good Chevette, irrespective of where it was manufactured. You could produce a Chevette in a Ferrari factory and it would still be shit.

I don’t care what they say. I just love the damn shape and lines of it

“55 percent of it surgically excised”.

For christ’s sake, get it right!!

Yep, easier to just keep it in the back your and throw a few bucks into it each day.

That’s what you get for listening to women while wrenching.

Nope, nope and even more nope. A sequel to the beauty and innocence of the original would suck and we all know it would. Not interested. Oh and did I mention that Cruise has become a huge asshat with an inflated ego over the years. NOPE. I’ll stick to the memories I have.

After some of the curries I’ve has, seatbelts on the crapper would be a blessing. Either that or I may be the 13th person to walk on the moon one day.

I’ve lived here for 25 years and there is way more to it than that.

Damned if I can pick it but that rear roof line screams 1970s. I think we need some of the older jalopniks to weigh in on this one. For what it’s worth, I see something like this: an AMC AMX Javlin or perhaps a Chrysler MOPAR of some type

For some of us old enough to remember, they already had one years ago. I should know. It was my first bike back in the 70s.
