Yeah if you are in a burnout contest or something sure, not going to take that trophy. Otherwise, righteous burnouts are always accepted, by virtue of their very existence. I grew up in the 1980's. Burnouts were not common, but were always righteous. The advent of front wheel drive cars with...

I don't care to much about the social distancing thing. But there is something to be said about personal space. There is a certain distance where you have to wonder if it is intentional or they are just drunk or otherwise mentally slow. I was in a store recently at the checkout, and the wife...

Yeah when I was a young man people were snagging 305's out of the Camaro on the cheap and putting those in there. Nowdays they go for the supercharged 6, less overheating problems. In the 80's though, only chicks bought them. "look at me!!!" As they put along with the iron duke laboring to...

He bought a Fiero. Only chicks bought Fieros. That is to say, back then. Nowdays people swap 240HP supercharged 3.8 V6's from Buick Rivieras into them. Chicks don't do that, they were happy with the iron duke. But yeah in the 80's? Yeah that guy messed up.

I know this is a mopar board but I am a gearhead and worked with Fords in my youth more, so i will regurgitate some info on this.... 352, 427, and 428 were based on early 60's FE series. Before these were the short lived Y block engines, and before that flat heads. Ford was not alone in making...

Yeah turns out all they had to do was stop offering big 4 door cars and crank the price of the big SUV's into the stratosphere to get people to look at 4 door trucks :)

That'll buff out.

Evian water. Naive spelled backwards. Costs more per gallon than gasoline, upwards of $11/gallon

100% fatality rate.

I live in WI. Salt will return any daily to the earth well before any car wash can harm the vehicle. Auto wash for things I don't care about surviving. Hand wash stuff that gets put away in winter. Note: my 2013 AWD Charger gets the auto wash. I have no intention of dealing with the rolling...

How are you? This is a simple, formal greeting among men. It is used because the answer does not obligate the responder to commit to actually commenting on how they are, what they did that day, or whatever else. It leaves the answer up to the responder to be as detailed or not as they wish. In...

I own a landline, much to my providers dismay, as they have to maintain the line then. Laws about landline phones are OLD, and hold the providers accountable, mostly to do with emergency services liability etc. You can report the provider to the Feds if you really want to. If it goes down, they...

Nope, count me in. And I am 20 years the younger than the average b-body forumite. I had one issued to me by my work for a while, used it to make phone calls exclusively, to coworkers. That has been gone for a while now and I do not miss it!

I could never afford to own one of these and likely never will. I will likely never own anything besidesmy home thta could bring money like this car could. That said, it is not really a survivor car, but you should advertise it that way anyway. Yeah it got a repaint. Like you said in OP, it is...
