<![CDATA[Jalopnik Comments]]> <![CDATA[Jalopnik Comments]]> <![CDATA[]]> @tonyola: The 1972 grille did have a rather cheap plastic look, and the 1973+ had the unwieldy 5 mph bumpers. So, yeah, the 1970-71s were better. I'm partial to the 1968-69 because the styling is more original (and the detailing a bit cleaner than the 1967).

The rear of the 1970+ was given a swept-up-and-forward back end that -- like so many other cars of that era -- copied the original Mustang. At least the Dart's new front and rear matched the swept-forward arc of its wheel cutouts.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Buickboy92: Yes, there are a lot of old mining towns in CO. Quite a few of them have a small population of people who want to get away from the city. The towns are fun to visit and explore, but I wouldn't want to live there.

The only towns with legalized gambling are Cripple Creek and Central City & Black Hawk which are West of Denver.

I think you have to be 21 to gamble (for sure in CO). And they are very strict on carding.

]]> <![CDATA[]]> @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: On the first day, I was the guy in charge of telling the penalty box who had been black-flagged. It was pretty brutal. Even if you don't count the dozens of black flags that were given for transponder problems or mechanical issues (one of the corner workers was pretty freaked out when he saw the Caddy's brake discs glowing red) there was a lot of boneheaded driving. Too much contact, too much passing under yellow, too much spinning and going off track. It was annoying.
Then, on the second day, I got to race. After ten laps, I became shrouded in the Red Mist, overcooked Turn 14 and slid the car into the dirt. After that, it was a little harder to get so indignant about other drivers making bad decisions.

Outstanding! Best thing ive seen since Bullitt. But I gotta call BS. No Marelli ignition system would have survived that dash through the water

]]> <![CDATA[Top Ten Least-Ticketed Vehicles And Why]]> Just wondering. How often are these cars stolen? Are any of them on a top 10 list of most frequently stolen cars?

My guess is that cops would rather pull over cars that get stolen more just in case they get lucky.

I spent my Junior Highschool years working part-time at the local Radio Shack selling CB radios during the craze in the mid-1970s. I think most of the models had a "P.A." switch that was precisely for your Dad's intended application. Back when cars had room for all-weather horn speakers under the hood.
