How does this only have 180 horsepower?

My 1992 BASE MODEL Ford Falcon had 200 horse from a 4.0L six, and that thing was /in no way fast/. I’d call it adequate. This thing must be an absolute hog.

Grills are awesome.

It’s almost as if the designers have a secret forum where they go:
“HELP! We spent all summer doing crack and we haven’t started our halo concept design yet!”
“It’s okay, it’s your turn to put out the swoopy long-hood coupe, you’ll be fine. Just throw some rims on it and a different spoiler.”

I’d like it more with a turbo I6 but hey, I’m 27 and stuck in a 90s JDM hangover.

Looks awesome.

As an Australian with a taste for JDM metal... I find myself really, REALLY wanting a Lincoln SUV.

I don’t get this. Like, I really don’t get it.

I always thought Rolls Royce were above cheap, tacky “luxury” adornments, and yet they’re the only carmaker I’ve seen who have a fucking light up headliner.

Just reminds me of those star lights you put in kids’ bedrooms. Tackiest thing ever.

This sounds amazing. Just wish it was an article as well so I could read it at work. Can’t get away with headphones in my job. :(

Taking this vehicle on a cross-country…

whoa. that is just dripping in style.

You can sometimes get by with less. Me and two other dudes were able to lift and drag the rear of a similar car (Holden Barina), so if you had six people, you could probably shuffle it around fairly easily.

Note that I’m not a particularly strong person either.

sheesh, sounds like my fucking Volvo...

That is amazing.

It’s a sick and twisted state that arrests people for unpaid traffic violations.

COTD.

Quick question - how would these have been typeset/printed? Would it be done by a local town printing house?

Fantastic writing.

The way you discussed the history of these cookbooks and their place in society reminds me a lot of the way Regular Car Reviews approach their work.

Supremely interesting.

Thanks for a great read!

Lol, crackpipe. I bought a running AND driving 740 Turbo in moderately good condition in AUSTRALIA where everything costs way more...

...for $750.

You could really use a Dulcich-esque farm. That’d be perfect.

I looked into buying myself a lil’ something, but anything within 2 hours of the city is either:
