Looks like my '06 STS, but shortened. Ought to be great fun at around 500HP for sure! Wish they'd also make it in a nice, big STS (or still better, an even longer one like the Chinese market only SLS) for older farts like me to navigate like a proper land yacht when not in a sports car or truck, or astride a "proper" bike (gasoline-powered) 😉 .

What is this, "spare time", you speak of, and what planet are you from? 😂

In the spirit of the old VW "Rabbit Races" I loved at Road America, I humbly suggest filling a road course with Scion xB or Kia Souls, or both combined. Seriously, who wouldn't want to see newbie or professional racers piloting these vehicles around, and into each other?

Great article, thanks. That was a lot of research and explanation, and is much appreciated.

I believe the actual quote was from his wife, “Give my old man a copper building large enough to work on chariots, and I shall never receive another Archimedean Screw ”. Hint regarding a set of golf clubs, "not fitting in a Miata" they will fit, easily. As with my Solstice, it's a golf BAG that will not fit. Burlap bags make great Christmas gifts for Miata owners 😉

In a world of Al Gore leaving his swimming pool heater on even when he was in Europe (on important environmental business no doubt) to the tune of a $30k utility bill for at least one year, it'll always be shooting fish in a barrel to attack eco-hypocrites. That said, Mr. Baruth hit it out of the park. Just because they may pitch to you underhand, doesn't automatically mean you'll crush it. Well done, sir.

Great choices. Speaking of Golden Earring (and to keep it car-related) also on that album is "Candy's goin' bad". If you have a ride with a good sound system, you will get a speeding ticket.

Great song for those of us who went through it, and good story from Sammy on how he came to write it.

Freaky can be fun. Give it the ultimate test - clean it up and paint it white.

Interesting, but can't shake an obvious "parts bin" feeling overall. The view from the rear quarter reminds me of a late Riviera and I like it, but the Lincolnish grill doesn't work at all IMHO.

Yummmmm, seafood, a distillery, then a Tim Horton doughnut. Don't want to be in the stall next to me at the truck stop later. 🚽

Awesome stuff, and I don't even have to turn in any reports, I can just nod wisely during the parts I cannot understand.

Does anybody really care anymore? Designed the Allanté, owned by Mahindra, it's already dead in my eyes. They had great successes, and some real turds. Like with Ghia, does it matter to many, any?

The Nomad & Vista Cruisers should obviously be up there instead of the Suburban and Shamu IMHO, but I agree that the '67 Country Sedan was the best example of this car, in '68 they went to side by side headlamps and it lost it's cool 😉 (I may be biased, having owned a '67, '68, and then a '66 in the mid & late 1970's as I struggled to keep a running car after high school. I'd also nominate a 1963 Buick LeSabre wagon to bump any of the more modern rides off the list. (the 401 engine from a totaled Wildcat under the hood would be nice, too) 😉

I miss the super-duper one I got to use on my factory automation-tech. days. Super accurate, could read bus terminals and breaker connectors easily, you could compare 3 phase 4160v fuses for a quick look for unbalanced legs. It had a much narrower beam/measurement spread. Can't remember the brand, probably Fluke or Snap-On. The Harbor Freight variety are fine to read most stuff, but you really get spoiled with a good one.

I was sooooo jealous of friend's dad's turbo Corvair after driving my dad's '63. What a difference those extra horses made. Even the long throw shifter couldn't keep one from feeling they were running an exotic machine.

Most "Canadian cars" were a perfect example of pay to play, where American jobs were sent to Canada to pay for the permission to sell other US built cars without fiscal punishment. Actual Canadian designed and built car brands were unaffordable in comparison with US mfg and labor practices, and the entire industry was soon transformed into building factories in Canada to produce US cars with different names and minor details. I wouldn't have an attitude about this except folks would are horrified and angry if/when the Chinese and/or SE Pacific countries did the same.

After seeing the same Nissan, Kia, Honda and Hyundai ads touting how their new cars have features to outsmart their idiot owners, I'd like to suggest their new sales pitch for the 2021's- "We'll keep you on the road, even though you don't belong there." You're welcome. No charge.

Am I missing something here? It's a new car, not a restoration, and it meets pretty much none of the modern safety requirements that other new carmakers have to conform to, yet it doesn't even have to cheat by only having 3 wheels? (wink wink)
