Dude, awesome! So glad this series is back. I'd completely forgotten about it! Read more

Vote EL Camino? Read more

This is actually kind of cool, but the wheels are hideous and have got to go. Read more

Boerne Stage? As in Boerne, TX? Are you from the hill country, Matt? I used to be with a Civil Air Patrol unit flying out of Boerne Stage Airfield. Read more

I wish I had the cash to spring for this right now. I would totally drive it on my 1 mile commute to work Jay Leno in a Stanley Steamer stylee. Read more

@rennsport964: The point being - there are competing two post lifts without an upper crossmember that restricts your lifting height. This one sucks. Buy a Mohawk. Read more

What good is it with that damnable crossmember going through the roof of your hoopty everytime you lift it to upgrade to bigger rims? Read more

Hey Murilee, don't forget the boys in Kenosha and the -boy designation. AMC truckcars are named after the AMC Cowboy. Read more

You know why mister? Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an 80,000 dollar BMW. That's my name. Read more

This is why it really chaps me when people dis the French. There engineering sensibilities and sense of "what the fuck, let's build it" are as close to ours as any other country's may ever be. They're just tweaked a little with a Gallic sense of humor. When we were building SR-71s and canceling the XB-70 they were… Read more

I just sold my early '86 Nissan pickup to the junkyard after its long, strange trip came to an end. 43 Hwy MPG is laughable. With the 3-speed automatic and the 2.4L NAPS-Z engine it averaged 18mpg combined cycle. Granted the '82 model had a Z22 in it, but the .2L displacement didn't make much of a dent in fuel… Read more

I'm not sure whether I'm proud to say that I had a moment of indecision when I saw the Lotus. Do I send this to Murilee or do I BUY IT?! Luckily, my sense won out and I passed it on to Los Jalops. Can you imagine the hell? This was surely a backyard, junkyard swap. Not only is Lucas there, but he's angry, because… Read more

Subaru B9 Tribeca. Flying Vag FTW. Read more

Uh, the Daytona pretty much sucks. It was the car that put an end to imported RWD Mitsubishis. No more Plymouth Arrow (Lancer Celeste), Dodge Colt (Lancer), Dodge Challenger/Plymouth Sapporo (Galant Lambda). Instead we get a FWD piece of crap with a K-car engine. LAME. Read more

I counted 230 for my '74 Beetle and 160 for my '72 Porsche 914 if I count the Porsche as a convertible. If I count it has a hard top convertible it's 135. But a German targa top on a midengined car with two trunks, does that really qualify for the hard top convertible penalty when that penalty is clearly designed to… Read more

How about David Wilcox' Rusty Old American Dream? Read more

That's clearly a Fiero. Read more

The timing of this DOTS is personally painful. I've just lost a 1979 Plymouth Arrow (base model 1.6L 4G32/4-sp) that popped up for sale here. Someone else made it across the state sooner than I could and scooped it up. I'm pissed. Read more

@Al Navarro: I know of a factory Porsche 924 Martini & Rossi edition for sale. It's been really hard for me to be fiscally prudent in this matter. I may yet cave. Read more

@Counterglow: Electrical contact cleaner is non conductive and thus much safer. I wouldn't spray any conductive liquid into electronics even if it's powered off and unplugged. Read more
