Ah, nice. And now, no matter what happens with the rest of the car, it'll FEEL more reliable -- thanks to the seats from a trusty old Miata. You have elevated the endeavor's status to "Project Car HECK."
We often think of the 70s or mid-80s as the heights of cheesiness. But this just goes to show that cheese actually peaked in 1990, just before grunge exploded to the mainstream.
After 1990, it seems like every Pontiac was painted that awful metallic teal green.
Toronto's big water tankers for flushing the streets. The trailer is old-school, like in "Duel".
I bet it turns out to be another one of them viral marketing campaigns...
Ames Iowa. Driven in a straight line along highways, (from Happy Chef to Happy Chef?) for its whole life.
Tempo or no Tempo, this is a new car.
Looking for the "Professional Grade."
Not seeing it. Unless they mean "professional" in the current-day, wishy-washy sense. Like "marketing professional."
The production version will probably only be available in the trademark Ford maroon or teal (both with tan fender flares/bumpers) and a sickly beige interior.
Nee, this car is good! How else vill you bring Heineken keg when you make party in the veld?
@UDMan: What's the keyboard for? They've got SCMODS.
@Murilee Martin: Love the GAZ logo you're using as your photo. Looks kinda familiar...
"Designed in collaboration with the legendary motorcycle manufacturer..."
Harley makes motorcycles? I thought it was a t-shirt company.
@TBM-Fan: Damn straight. I've seen first-hand what a Monster Miata (Ford 5.0) can do. A V8 in a Miata is a very very good idea.
It's not an LS1-powered Miata, it's a Miata-bodied LS1.
Similar in spirit to the Gee Bee R2.

Logically, you are saying that everything that shall be, already IS. Hmm.
Whatever. GM doesn't need to bring the ute. It needs to bring the wagon version. And pop that V8 into it.
@five_on_ninetyeight:
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to ask you to apologize to Mr. Accord for that comment. You go over there and tell him you didn't mean it, that he was one of the most important cars of his day, and that it's too bad that soon there will be none on the road any longer.
The UAW members I've seen in the news always look like they're dressed more for a Satan's Choice pig roast than a day on the links. I mean that as a compliment. I guess this place has a relaxed dress code.
A red one of these was wrecked outside of Orangeville Ontario (intersection of Hwy 10 and Hockley Valley road) in the summer of 1975. I saw the wreck -- it is one of my earliest memories.
Which is fake -- the knock-off hub or the lug nuts?
Obvious defections? You mean like Mikhail Baryshnikov?
Allah-hu AKBAR!
