So to convince us the HR-V has more cargo room, they photoshop firewood and coolers that are smaller scale than actual?

Ironic that it is called pure sound when it is fake...

GM does not have automatic headlights as standard in the US. They have daytime running lights as standard. Not the same thing as tail lights are not on when DRLs are on.

There's a rear license plate shown in one of the images. I imagine it is registered as a motorcycle and wouldn't need a front plate.

Couldn’t agree more. Touch screens that take your eyes off the road or shut down for no reason, removing control over everything is not progress. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

My uncle owned many Jags over the years but never suffered the fate of the Prince of Darkness or any other typical maladies. He owned early E-types, XJ coupes and sedans, a coupel XJSs, up to and including the latest F-type (at 90 years old!). He gave them proper maintenance and they never gave him any problems. Probably helped that he owned them from new or with a well known service history. Neglected ones will bankrupt you!

Realistically, you need to know the specs. of the original shock before you can think about replacement. What are your collapsed and extended length requirements? What level of dampening is wanted? Stock? Different from stock? Need to know what you have now in order to get what you want. Hopefully you can find that information for a classic Chrysler such as yours.

130 degree incline as in past 90 degrees as in upside down? Now that is impressive!

I like chocolate covered coffee beans for really long stretches. Keeps me alert without making me want to find the nearest restroom. Need to make sure to keep them out of the sun and not leave them in your car when parked for a long time.

Story indicates it has a big block Chevy.

When will manufacturers learn that touch screens take your eyes off the road? I'll take mine with buttons and knobs, please.

Regarding A&W 1920 comment...Drive-in and drive-thru are two different concepts. Drive-in requiring you park and have carhops bring your meal.

“Ridged”? Did you mean rigid? Since when is a yard a metric measurement?

Finally got another manual. I feel it is my duty pass on the skill of driving a manual to my son. Have to make sure the next generation can carry the torch. GT350 seems appropriate. Long live manuals!

Price? If you have to ask...

cdkrek · ‎12-07-2021

I remember the same story. Little ignition keys and all. I seem to remember that they didn't say he shrunk them but led you to believe that. If memory servers, accompanying picture was a late '60s Impala and he only ever "shrunk" regular everyday cars-nothing special. (Nothing anyone would miss?)

cdkrek · ‎18-06-2021

Where did you see them? They haven't delivered any yet. I've only seen Bronco Sports out in the wild. This is probably what you saw.

Charger or Challenger? You can’t get a Charger with three pedals.

2 doors too many for shooting brake?

Couldn’t help but notice the 3 pedals. Nice! You do the manual swap yourself? Turbo Coupe parts?

My 66 had turn signal issues. Wiring and grounds were good. I just needed to clean the contacts at the flasher to get hyphen working again. Contacts can get a little crusty after more than 50years. Don’t know if it will work for you. It it worked for me.

From the Department of Redundancy Department, “ the dot on the top left is a Ferrari 250 GTO in the top left.”

Except the Camaro, rushed to market to compete with the Mustang, used bits from the ‘68 Chevy II, which was already in development.

“ Use a razor blade held perpendicular to the surface ”. Did you mean to say parallel?

cdkrek · ‎23-01-2021

I thought there were no Marti reports prior to 1967 due to Ford destroying build records.

Outback been around for 25 years, not 15.

cdkrek · ‎15-01-2021

"The Outback nameplate initially designated the sole wagon version of the Legacy sedan." In what world? Legacy has always had a wagon version-they just stopped selling it here in 2012 because we (not me) are so wagon adverse.

Boss 429? 99-04 Mustang GT scoop was fake, wasn't it?

cdkrek · ‎31-12-2020

I'm getting Pacer vibes too...as soon as I saw it.

$594,000 redo for a 300HP 308? No thanks.

The Essex Engine Plant is also in Windsor, not in the town of Essex. Ford has more than engine plant in Windsor, which is located in Essex county.

No more exciting new cars to write about? Have to write about yet another boring SUV...zzzzzzzzzzzzz. This is no Defender.

cdkrek · ‎04-09-2020

Not interested. Overpriced. Oversized. Not a true off-roader. Where is the Ranger that we used to have? Many configurations. Many price points. Just the right size for daily driving and weekend chores.

cdkrek · ‎18-08-2020

So many people adding moveable headlights to the list. This list is for fixed headlights with doors that hide them...

cdkrek · ‎08-08-2020

What kind of truck?

cdkrek · ‎28-07-2020

Quite a varied collection. Love the Gilbern. They didn’t even mention the Lamborghini or Ferraris. Curator needs to brush up on his Mustang knowledge, though. Radio was installed way after that car rolled off the assembly line. Although a stereo 8-track was available as an option, a cassette deck with LCD display was obviously added much later than 1966.

cdkrek · ‎18-07-2020

Can you add the headlights from a 2000 Merc C class to 1976 Camaro? Always wondered what that would look like. Front is kinda similar

cdkrek · ‎18-07-2020

Marlin

cdkrek · ‎18-07-2020

FC RX7 vs mid 80s Dodge Daytona/Plymouth Lazer? if you squint hard, I think the side profile of current Mustang is similar to Ferrari Daytona

Celica Liftback was introduced in 1973 for Japan and 1974 for export. This has the bumpers of liftback earlier than 1976. I would say 74 or 75 due to steering wheel on left

cdkrek · ‎11-07-2020

Fourth what?

cdkrek · ‎26-06-2020

Relax, people. It's just a picture. If it was a total custom from the ground up, people would think it was beautiful but because it has a Duesenberg chassis, some people get all wound up. I think it looks cool. Would I want to hack up a restored original? No. But I am always curioius to see what Chip's imagination provides.

cdkrek · ‎08-06-2020

Wheels may be close to production intent but I am sooooo sick of black wheels. Hope the production tires fill the fenders better than PP2 tires.

cdkrek · ‎19-05-2020

Interesting styling exercise. That’s all this is. No need to be so harsh. The original is definitely beautiful but I too have always thought the rockers were a tad high and there was a little too much space under the car.

cdkrek · ‎29-04-2020

I seem to recall Quadrasteer was part of a package when it was first offered. That’s why it was so expensive and had few takers. Once they started to offer it as a standalone, interest had waned. They also had a new version ready that was no wider than the standard axle. In true GM fashion, they killed it once they got it right.
