Feel bad for the guy. But with this sentence you can certainly feel the cultural divide.

See ya on the side of the road! Toot toot!

And not just the traffic in the right lane, either. He slowed down the middle lane while hunting for an opening.

Don’t compare this to a zipper merge. This is NOT a zipper merge. At all.

Good. Seriously fuck this guy and everybody like him. They actually slow traffic down because everybody needs to brake to let them in.

This is the unpopular opinion but, I agree. This thing looks to be built with care and is very cool and one of a kind. That price is indicative of what it is - one of a kind, quality built cool. Why would it matter that this thing has an Iron Duke? It’s a camper, not a performance machine.

The driveshaft, I assume, would have cut into the headroom in the camper.

Before I bought my Chevy SS last week, I was looking at 67/68 Pontiac Firebirds, preferably 400's but would settle for a 350. Some can be had for under $30K and still be decent. Not crazy stuff like the Camaro’s

Late 1950s- early 1960s GM cruisers. These are fantastic cars to have around, they are comfortable (with A/C) and are happy on the highway. If you stay away from the late ‘60's/early ‘70s you can still get decent mileage. (I know the Cadillac isn’t going for $30K but she’s lovely.)

I’m going to combine two themes here and suggest a W123 wagon restomod.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that nobody suggested an old Caddy. It’s got style, it’s GM, it is built for cruising, it’s big as a whale, it’s got the big bench seats, it’s got a big trunk, AND it’s in the budget (probably). You can find these early 60s Caddy’s in good shape for $20k-$30k. More doors for even less.

“Shit the bed” - my new favorite expression.

Hasn’t grown on me yet but here you go:

How do they manage to offer 35 different colors and none of theme is British Racing Green?

I used to own this 1949 Hudson a couple of years ago and drove it quite a bit. I was surprisingly reliable.

As a woman, I like to think that I’m marginally better than even the best tailpipe.

Real car people only realy care bout cars. And nothing else....Real car people want an automotive website to discuss only auto related content. If you want more than that from an automotive related website. You are not a real car person. You may be interested in cars. Or like cars. But you are not a real car person.

Nope they are not. They may like to think of themselves as “car people”. But “car people” they ar not. Real car people come to Jalopnik for the car stuff and only the car stuff. Anyone else just stops by jalopnik to kill a few minutes out of their day.

I would be impressed if reality car TV showed real problems, like figuring out that pesky intermittent misfire on someone’s old Jeep Grand Cherokee who can’t afford the repair bill, let alone the gas bill when it IS running right, and the car is 3/4 filled with fast food wrappers and old french fries. Because that’s…
