]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on What Defines A Bad Driver?]]> @MeMikeYouNot: Every driver in Las Vegas; they don't use turn signals, they weave in and out of traffic on the freeway and on surface streets, ALWYAYS exceeding the flow of traffic and ALWAYS with a cell phone clamped to their ear. I've driven in lots of major cities and this is the worst.

I think is's impossible for EVERYONE to exceed the flow of traffic.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on U of M Survey Contradicts Others, Claims Fewer Buyers Satisfied With Detroit Automakers]]> People buy a Hummer and complain to J D Power about the fuel economy and J D Power counts this as a legitimate complaint (with a straight face!) BTW, gas is now $3.35/gal in Oklahoma.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Detroit News Lists Best From GM's First 100 Years]]> I have a soft spot for the 1977 GM B Bodies: Impala, Caprice, Lesabre, Electra, Eighty-Eight, Ninety-Eight, Catalina and Bonneville. Nearly a foot and a half shorter and 800 pounds lighter than their forebears, these cars were nearly as roomy as their predecessors and did just fine with small-block power. I'll take a '78 Caprice Landau coupe with the angled rear windshield, thanks.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Detroit News Lists Best From GM's First 100 Years]]> Clealy the best 60's car for the Detroit News is the AMC Coronet.
Also, the writer apparently doesn't know the difference between Cragar wheels and Krieger (Robbie Krieger of The Doors?)

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on The Muscle Cars Of The 2008 Woodward Dream Cruise]]> About twenty Mustangs ago, I was ready to grab the camera and throw it in the nearest storm drain.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Cruisers Converge, Pity Those Who Commute On Woodward]]> Is that a 'vette between the T-Bird and the Solstice? A CHEvette, that is, with wiiiiiiide rear tires. The better to get the power to the pavement, my dear!

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Secretly Recording A Traffic Stop In Massachusetts Will Land You In The Slammer]]> Videorecording is legal in public, witness the zillions of "security " cameras everywhere. Audio recording people without their knowledge is illegal in some places, I believe.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Because You Can Do This In America Dept: 1986 Homemade For Sale!]]> Where do you begin?
Malaise era radio
$10 A/C
Cracked scuffed steering wheel
5 pickup hubcaps
Bus driver seats
Cheap bedroom carpet
Plow lights on fenders
Home depot grill

I can't stand to look and I can't look away...HELP!

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on 1967 Imperial Crown]]> Jay Leno has a '67 that he bought from the original owner, a movie producer. He wasn't really interested at first, but it was so nice he had to have it. Have a look at jaylenosgarage.com . It's my favorite out of his whole collection.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on GM Cuts Saab Warranty To 4-Years/50,000-Miles]]> @crankcase: The Trailblazer, not the Tahoe was badge-engineered into a SAAB 9-7

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on 1982 Pontiac 6000: Now The Excitement Really Begins!]]> The hype would have been more appropriate for the later 6000STE

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Project Car Hell, Arc-Weld Your Soul Edition: Electric 911 or Electric Spitfire?]]> That Spitfire needs those foot thick bumper blocks on the BACK of the car, the better to push you home with, my dear. Come to think of it that applies whether it's an electric with a dead battery pack or a normal IC gas car.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Plug-In Hybrid Pickup To Get 100 MPG, Sticker Of Calvin Peeing On Our Foreign Oil Dependency]]> It probably gets 100 MPG/gasoline equivalent for those first 40 miles it's propelled by electricity.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Do You Have In-Car Air Conditioning? No, Ours Is On-Car!]]> The duct looks like a coffee can, but it's crimped so I think not.
This would be a winner if the A/C has remote control, no hanging out the window.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Project Car Hell, Graverobber Edition: 1970 Cougar or 1972 Torino?]]> The font of the numbers on the Torino's tach looks like it came from a tax form.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Repent! The Future Of Crossovers Is At Hand, End Times Draw Ever Closer]]> I don't even think that making this into an abomination-amino would help.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, Part One]]> I saw one in Bucksport ME a couple of weeks ago... orange also. Appearance in person is a contradiction, lines are blockier than the orig. but the lines all work together so well the car looks smaller than it is.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Ultimate Diecast Toy Car Created: 1979 Chrysler LeBaron Town And Country!]]> BTW, I'll take my T&C Wagon in Family Truckster Green, plz.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Ultimate Diecast Toy Car Created: 1979 Chrysler LeBaron Town And Country!]]> @Hoser Dave: Well, yes,they do have Gremlins, Pintos, Mavericks AND Comets, Omnis AND Horizons... and a '71 Mustang.
Malaisetastic!

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on For Sale: Clean Mazda Miata, Slight Water Damage]]> Yes the pool is suspiciously free of flotsam. But, although I've never owned a convertible, I suspect you need to keep it fairly clean so that all the crap doesn't blow out when you drop the top. Those McDonald's wrappers you're looking for in the pool would be long gone. Also, a nice car like a Miata would be more likely to be kept neat than, say a '91 Cavalier.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Progressive Automotive X Prize Mustang Claims 400 HP, 110 MPG; We Claim Baloney]]> I'm certain that this car gets 110 miles per gallon of GASOLINE when burning E85. Unfortunately, it also burns five gallons of ethanol to go that 110 miles.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Saleen Developing Gibbs Aquada And Quadski For American Market]]> Most amphibious vehicles fall into one of two categories: cars with propellers, or boats with wheels. The Quadski on the other hand seems more original.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on PCH, Hopelessly French Edition: 1925 Renault Type 45 or 1951 Citroen Traction-Avant?]]> How touching that his friend "owned and cherished" this hood for decades.
Still, a hood without a car is not better than nothing, so I voted for nothing.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Ten Greatest American Police Patrol Cars]]> My first car (in '83) was a beaten '70 Coronet 440. I LOVE the front end styling, and liked the car, except that it was in such bad shape.
Got sooooo tired of trying to explain to morons that just because the MODEL is 440 doesn't mean that it has (or should have) a 440 engine. The 318 was just fine.

Also, in the '80's the Hampden Me PD ran Volvos

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Super-Rich People Are Just Like You, Only Better]]> Ummmmm, I don't suppose sketchy BORROWING practices might have something to do with people "getting thrown out of their homes and living in their soon-to-be-repossessed cars"?

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on DOTS-O-Rama Sunday: Studebaker Cruiser, With Bonus Boler Trailer]]> I suppose Jack missed the '60's Chevy(?) van nearby?

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on DOTS-O-Rama Sunday: 1959 DeSoto Fireflite]]> @General Dearthair MacAwesome: Uh, Murilee is a GUY, but maybe that's your thing...

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on What's The True Cost Of Power?]]> Clarification on the Volvo: for that $248.24 per HP you get a vehicle that can tow everything here all at the same time..

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on 1979 Ford Ranchero]]> Everyone goes on and on about low horsepower ratings in 70's cars due to emission regs. But these engines still had plenty of torque. A relatively low torque Camry engine would die a quick death in this vehicle.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Will It Float?]]> Hoist the sail to improve MPG!

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on 2009 Ford Flex, First Drive]]> The pricing is crazy. Who are they trying to sell this to again? Edmunds says a Flex can be optioned up to $47,000 MSRP. $4000 more will get you a base Lincoln Navigator, which I have to assume is pretty well equipped itself.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on PCH, Turbo Malaise Edition: Saab 99 Turbo or Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car?]]> I thought we were voting for which one is most Hellish, not which one is the most cool. Saab takes it.

]]> <![CDATA[scottcom36 commented on Buick Roadmaster Hot Rod Makes Flat Black Look Good]]> Note the El Camino next door with opera bars on the cap: Hearse-amino?
