I wish these guys would stop chopping up vintage cars. Soon there won't be any originals left and no one will even know what they look like.

One thing that was real was the black Honda Civics passing under the truck in the first movie. I'm a trucker and I freeze framed those scenes. You can see necessary modifications to the truck. The air lines are relocated up out of the way and they welded a railing in front of the trailer wheels to protect the Civic drivers from being run over if they got too close.

Oh no! Does this mean the class and elegance of another fine English car is going to be ruined in the name of modern German efficiency? One only has to look at what has happened to Rolls Royce cars with their shrinking grilles and blacked out everything. If I wanted a German car, I would buy one. People buy classy English cars for a reason. The Germans don't seem to understand this.

It's always the punks who debadge everything so it probably had the daylights beaten out of it during the crucial break in period. Don't give "Flipper" your money. Do a factory order and have patients. It's always more rewarding in the long run.

The once great headlights are gone. Can't say I like the new ones. The diesel is the only one that makes sense.

They'll call the new owner "The Hunter" because he will spend eternity hunting for parts.

Ok GM. You have our attention. Now can you please build a Cadillac XT5 EV? And don't change the styling!

Using your good vehicle (non classic) all winter wouldn't be a problem if people oil sprayed them annually and waxed them regularly. Many such vehicles driven in northern winters have no rust whatsoever, even underneath after 20 years of use. Too many cheap and lazy people out there.

While the price is a good deal, let's face it. This was the dark era for cars of all makes. The fact that the doors and other major parts were never handled by McCartney means you can barely say it was his car. Just because some still living, famous guitar guy farts into the seat cushions, does not make it Barrett Jackson car of the year.

Look around your garage. I know of a case where someone bought a brand new Challenger and a ladder that had been on the wall for three years fell on to the side of his car. Maybe the rumble of the exhaust caused it.

They dropped the diesel engine. I won't be buying an F Pace.

They already killed off the most sensible engine choice, the diesel. I won't be buying an XF.

What is it with the thin seats these days? No comfort to be found here. These companies really need to look at the '70s Cadillacs, Lincolns and Rolls Royces. I want an electric vehicle but I won't be buying one of these.

The good thing about a Model T is that it looks just as good whether restored or left in ratty original condition. People just love to see these most historic of cars either way. They should be driven lots too as they are one of the most reliable cars ever built. Mine is restored but I drive it everywhere. Touching up chips with more black paint is easy.

Two that are less common but look just as good are the late '60s Chevy Caprice and early '70s Plymouth Sport Fury.

No mention of fuel mileage. Sounds like the ultimate guzzler of modern times. No diesel option. When it runs out of gas on the desert, the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Duramax Diesel will eat it for lunch.

I wonder if I'm going to stand alone here as someone who hates Zerk fittings and especially the grease gun. My Model T has flip top cap oil holes and grease caps, things I find relaxing and enjoyable to work with anywhere I might be. I wish my modern vehicles were the same way.

Well I guess you're not up to speed on today's clean diesel technology. Diesels are now near zero emissions, way cleaner than a dirty gas engine. Then there is tons of low rpm torque and unheard of mileage as well as superior durability. Everything heavy duty is diesel. If Ford can't offer a diesel then they are presenting a weak offering for unknowledgable consumers which is how they like it.

You don't have to go too far back to find unusual. We're all now familiar with the smart fortwo but what many Americans may not realize is that there was a version with a 3 cylinder turbo diesel. It was a 0.8 liter. You could get them in Canada only during the first two years of importation and infact it was the only engine available. By clipping the speed limiter, upwards of 170 kph was possible and some owners achieved more than 100 mpg. I bought two of them new back then.

It's probably cancelled for just one year. Nobody wants to go more than me but let's not. If we show up in droves with our cars, crowds of spectators will follow, people will die and progress will be pushed further back meaning no cruise next year or perhaps ever again. Let's show the world how responsible cruisers are. Wait for a vaccine. See you next year.

I like the Cadillac. BTW, I miss the quad headlight days because now, so many people drive around blinding everyone with their plastic high beam housings and its sometimes hard to tell if they really are on and if you should flash them. With the quad lights, it was always obvious.
