And somewhere out there, Bill Clinton is getting a chubby.

It kinda looks like a zombie version of Babe the pig from that old movie years ago...

Honestly, I care a lot less about the whip antenna than I do that horrid shark fin.

@D_Robb: My first thought exactly.

@MushyHeirloom: Nice one!

@GuardDuck: I lol'ed! Sounds like something I would do.

That'll look nice in the Forzas and Gran Turismos of the world.

My first thought: Why can't Ford's North American design language look more like that? The Gillette look (even blacked out) is getting old.

Good buy. That thing is awesome.

@jeffro: Well played.

@DeadBuick: I had to drive a fricken Aveo to get it worked on for a co-worker who had a maintenance emergency and couldn't leave the office. Peppy little bastard, I'll give it that. Of course my driving style was to push the pedal all the way down. In hindsight, that might have been why I thought it so peppy. That and…

@evanschmitt: And don't even get me started on that fiberglass hood.

I'm happy that cars like this exist. I really am. But my greatest excitement comes not from fantasizing about the car itself, but from the thought of driving a simulation of it in Forza or Gran Turismo someday.

The performance of a 2.0 liter from a 1.6 liter? The nerd in me wants to be excited...

It's like... you know me... like you're inside my head.

Look at the brake pedal. An excessively worn brake pedal = history of hard driving.

This article is so full of WIN.

@Drachen: and that's why I've grown to hate the Barrett-Jackson auctions.

That's a beautiful car indeed. Use to be a '57 Chieftain sport coupe outside a body shop not far from here. I heard a rumor it got "converted" into a '57 Bel Air. If true, it's a crime; the Cheiftain was a beauty in its own right. IMO, you just don't seen enough tri-five Buicks, Pontiacs, or Olds these days.

@Jim-Bob: Heart click. Very elegant rebuttal.
