Holy crap do I hate the doo-wop music. That alone keeps me from going to shows. I can't wait for the Greatest Generation to die already.
I think Bam owes Ebert an apology.
Perhaps you're from Bizarro World. Or Ironitopia.
My '69 is only a GT (with the 351W 4bbl) but it's still plenty of fun.
What's with all the tuner garbage? How about a man's wheel?
One thing I noticed about this film over the others is that the cars themselves featured much less than the previous films. This was pretty much a straight-up heist movie. That probably does better for most people but I go to these movies because they are mostly about the cars.
Kinda disappointing.

The two are so close I often confuse them for a few seconds!
How many Skylines are we talking about in the US? A dozen, maybe?
Surely "collectors" should be exempt from this nonsense.

My '79 240D has a little trouble starting when it's under -10C, but otherwise it's very reliable transportation. What other 30 year old car can you still see on the road all the time?
yes

a thousand times yes

Hello! Torino!
Whatever you do, don't invest any real money in it because you will never see it again, ever.
Unless you plan to keep it forever, then go nuts.

I'd say this was better than calling us peasants, but not really.
Testing 1-2-3!
@ronmancvu: Can it even flip over?
What's even more retarded is that here in Toronto, where we get snow *every winter*, people still forget how to drive in it for the first month.
Thanks to global warming, however, the number of snow days get fewer and fewer.

I found this thing on ebay the morning it went live and forwarded it to the tip line. I'd like to think this thing ending up on a track is thanks to my diligent perusal of ebay's "Other Makes".
There should be a LeMons race consisting of nothing but stuff found there, that would be amazing.

Hey, I found this on ebay today and sent it in to Hooniverse, and an hour and half later it ends up on Jalopnik attributed to someone else!
I feel slighted.

Of all my cars, the oldest (1969 Torino) is the most reliable. I haven't had to touch a single thing on it in two years of daily summer driving.
The '79 Mercedes 240D is second, but the 2000 Audi TT is in the shop at least 5 times a year.
The simpler it is, the more reliable.

@studbike: Totally agreed on the two press bullshit. My Audi, however, can be set to open all on one using a secret key combo.
