Did you do an LS swap? Read more

I’ve had a few people who are either deaf or have suffered severe hearing loss. Obviously, I’d love for everyone to know these stories. But, at this point, there are no published transcripts of the episodes. Do you ever use any transcription/speech-to-text browser extensions? I ask because two people said they use… Read more

Not surprised that Patrick replied; he rules. And I was kind of half-joking (but half not). International stories for a guy like me aren’t impossible, but it wouldn’t be a given, either. Read more

This car brings me back. Grandparents had one. I can still remember what the window controls looked and felt like. CLASSIC. Caprice Classic. Read more

See now you’re supposed to tell me about this stuff BEFORE you do it so I can get Jalopnik to fly me out to Wales and so I can cover this madness! Read more

The Catalina Ventura is seriously sweet, and it’s crazy how few of them you see anymore (or at least I see, anyways). I knew that about the Trophy 4 being basically half of the V8. Did not know that about the 326 being a smaller 389. Is Phillip right about it being closer to a 333? Read more

Thank you so much! I really love the I6 and S6. And a ‘72 Scamp? AWESOME. Sounds like a luxury to me—especially with the houndstooth! Read more

As Buddy said, “I don’t do transmissions.” Knowing my dad, he was very happy about his ascent to the top, then got a taste for what happens when you start down the road of modifying cars, and got gunshy real quick. My dad’s not much of a mechanic. He has an old saying about himself. “I’m not great with tools. Half the… Read more

The Ford Probe. Talk about an underdog! Read more

GAHHHH! So cute. My son just lost his first tooth yesterday. I was walking him and my little girl to school today, and I was like, “Buddy, I remember when you GOT your first tooth. Now you’re losing them!” Time sure flies. *sniffle* Read more

For some reason, in the last two years, I have completely fallen for these cars. It’s like, for the first time, I’m seeing how really weirdly awesome the styling and design in. And, yeah, they can be had for cheap, and they make a hell of a blank canvas! Read more

This comment reminds me that there’s like an ‘84 Dodge Omni in my hood that’s in way too good of shape than it has any business being in. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it looks like it rolled out of the factory. But it looks damn good. Like, it’s two years old or something. Anyways, I am about 95% certain that… Read more

The truest underdog! That smile is worth only about a trillion dollars. Congratulations on what sounds like an incredible family. (A common theme in my essay and podcast is just this: it’s not the cars, it’s the people.) Thank you for sharing. From my family to yours. Cheers. Read more

SO GOOD! Damn dude that should be engraved in a fucking rock! Not going to lie, there were times when I was cutting this together, I thought, “Boy, what would Rootzle do to a machine like a ‘61 Tempest?” Thanks for listening, man. Read more

A DIY Viggan Wagon?! A Vagon?! Hell yes. (Hope you listened/listen to the episode!) Read more

So true! And especially true in this episode. I really hope you listened/will listen to the episode! Read more

UH WHAT?! Please email me at tempest@jalopnik.com. We need to chat. Read more

HAHAHAHAHA So funny because I was literally just telling my wife that’s one of my favorite parts. She was like “maybe you should have clarified that’s what he meant.” I said, “No, it works better to just leave it there and let people make that discovery on their own.” Speaking of funny things, you listen after the… Read more

Boxy Volvos are hands-down fucking awesome. I LOVE them. I love everything about them. When my wife and I had kids, I really really strongly considered trying to track down a boxy Volvo with a manual. And, yeah, in my mind, they should never be compared to a BMW. Read more

Oh man that’s amazing! Would love to speak to him about that: tempest@jalopnik.com. Not kidding, I really want to get in touch. Not a ton of people go to great lengths to preserve their ‘76 Darts. I MUST KNOW THE STORY. Read more
