Don't wreck vintage cars with these modern modifications. Leave them original. Disc brakes on a Model T? Horrible. If you want a new car, buy one.

The New Bronco looks like a cheap plastic toy. More of a mommy grocery getter to haul the kids around. The Colorado ZR2 Duramax Diesel shall remain king of the trail.

I think the current Mercedes Benz styling is very boring and sometimes ugly. The cars they made during the years 2005-2012 give or take, were awesome! Ever see the front end of an SLR or even a CLK?

Dave404 · ‎21-06-2021

Boy do I remember those cars, saw all of them and drove most of them. I was a passenger in a red '71 Opel when a Olds Cutlass landed on top of it. There were actually three of us in the Opel. It was totaled but we walked away. The Express trucks were cool. There was also a black version called "The Warlock" if I remember correctly.

I once asked a man, "How do you like Uranus"? He said it was bigger than he thought. I asked a woman the same question, she said she can't get her husband out of it.

Dave404 · ‎09-06-2021

What no diesel? It won't be landing in my driveway then. I guess the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado will continue to rule the midsize market in durability, capability and fuel economy . Nevertheless, this truck is very much needed in a world where full sized trucks have gotten so stupid big that they actually look ridiculous. Good for Ford. I think they will sell a lot of them.

Dave404 · ‎08-06-2021

Yeah but that "chicken farmer worked for Ford. Speedster people did not. Actually, the Ford executives did built one sporty Model T. Henry Ford took one look at it and smashed it to pieces with a hammer.

Dave404 · ‎08-06-2021

But Carl. There's nothing original about a Model T "Speedster". Ford never made them. It's nothing more than another hacked up hot rod. Maybe you should give a real Model T a try.

Dave404 · ‎02-06-2021

So now after all that money, those fine parts will just sit on static display? Transaxle without a cause.

Dave404 · ‎02-06-2021

Hideous. Rolls Royce cars are the best in the world but only up until 1980. The company that now owns them has ruined them.

Dave404 · ‎26-05-2021

I've seen at least one Queen driving around. I don't know which variant it was. I would have studied it more closely had I known it was that rare.

Dave404 · ‎21-05-2021

No thanks. If I want an F150, I'll get the diesel.

Dave404 · ‎12-05-2021

What no diesel option? It won't land in my driveway. I'd rather have the GMC Canyon which has a proper inline diesel truck engine with a cast iron block. Heavy duty!

Dave404 · ‎05-05-2021

The problem is today's generation of punks who don't want cars or even drivers licenses. These sloths are content sitting in their pajamas in their parent's basements smoking dope and playing online games day and night. The chips go to the gaming console makers and massive car factories shut down as a result.

Dave404 · ‎29-04-2021

They need to bring back the V16. I'll buy one.

Dave404 · ‎29-04-2021

Forget the hybrid and electric junk. What's needed are more diesels across all vehicle lines.

Dave404 · ‎15-04-2021

Not much of a car to drive by today's standards I think but certainly a well preserved piece of history. I hope the new owner keeps it that way.

Dave404 · ‎14-04-2021

The Ponies were easy to spot. Just look for a rising cloud of blue smoke and man did they rust. Worst junk ever made. I will never buy a Hyundai. The new ones look a bit better. That's all.

Dave404 · ‎13-04-2021

It's gonna be really embarrassing when the proverbial sudden , unpredicted rain storm comes along and they always do.

Dave404 · ‎10-04-2021

The wheels didn't come off the ground. Maybe the seat bolts were loose and the seat fell backwards LOL.

Dave404 · ‎10-04-2021

And what about the GMC Sierra?

Dave404 · ‎24-03-2021

Nothing there worth my time or money.

Dave404 · ‎20-03-2021

I met Peter once at that great shop. He really is a right on guy. At this moment, I'm so close by I'd probably hear that Cobra if it was completed and he revved it up outside. As for missing out on a car, I still can't forget the Plymouth Superbird I saw for sale for $28,000 in 1987 or so. I had no money then. Ouch!

Dave404 · ‎17-03-2021

The front plate appears to be bent. I'm offering 15 million.

Dave404 · ‎11-03-2021

I'm so glad to read this. As a former race car driver myself, I now enjoy driving my own 1919 Model T on a regular basis. Joey was already one of my favorite Nascar drivers. For sure now!

Dave404 · ‎06-03-2021

If you watch Dirty Mary Crazy Larry, Peter Fonda turns into a dirt road while being chased by a cop and says, "Remember Robert Mitcham in Thunder Road? I'm gonna powder his face".

Dave404 · ‎06-03-2021

You're right! I didn't even think about the 1971 part.

Dave404 · ‎06-03-2021

You missed the best one of all. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry. Great story, great actors and acting, awesome cars. '66 Impala, '69 Charger ( One is a '68 if you look closely), Dodge police cars with 440s. Best stunts ever, all real and unrehearsed. I don't understand why this movie is always overlooked.

Dave404 · ‎03-03-2021

I was thinking of ordering one of these until I got to the part about self driving and Super Cruise monitoring your eyes. Ain't gonna happen now. I deactivated OnStar from my diesel truck. I'm just going to keep that truck forever now. I hope the big brother tactics sink GM once and for all.

Dave404 · ‎18-02-2021

I can understand this. Not my kind of car but for those who like it, it is the best of the best. There will not likely be a second chance.

Dave404 · ‎13-02-2021

A scrapyard near me installed a bright sign out front, "WE BUY CATS". It's just down the street from a Honda dealer. Makes me wonder.

Dave404 · ‎13-02-2021

Need a text to your phone alarm and a hydraulic suspension with remote . Drop the car while the little **bleep** is under it. OnStar should offer this option.

Dave404 · ‎10-02-2021

Great article! I got tired of watching my rear view mirror in my fast cars. Nowadays it's almost impossible to avoid the man and the penalties are insane. Now I look ahead while driving my 1919 Ford Model T. It feels like a race car at 45 mph and I am ticket proof.

Dave404 · ‎05-02-2021

People really need to stop modifying (destroying) all the classic cars. Soon no one will know what an original old car is. The sights and sounds of authentic old cars just enhances peoples lives and the vehicle numbers are so small that their tailpipe emissions are meaningless. Tell these battery fanatics NO and let their silly investments bankrupt them. Better than that, don't vote Liberal. If you want electric, buy a new one for your daily driver.

Dave404 · ‎01-02-2021

I'm ready to go electric but won't settle for a self driving car that is largely controlled by the manufacturer as in the case of Tesla. Just make it a normal vehicle with privacy, no OnStar etc. They talk about SUVs and full size trucks. How about the now popular midsize trucks like the GMC Canyon? Also, I can charge at my house but what about the millions of people who live in apartments or houses without driveways?

Seems he is morally bankrupt on all fronts.

Dave404 · ‎28-01-2021

I love Cadillacs and have owned a few of all sizes from that era. I can confirm that those FWD versions did indeed have the same luxurious and high quality driving characteristics of the big ones that came before. I always wanted any version in that pale yellow with matching leather interior. Maybe one day.

Dave404 · ‎27-01-2021

I'll take the Bentley. The rest can go to the scrapyard.

Dave404 · ‎25-01-2021

I think people are finally realizing that those cars have a look like nothing before or since and are true mean machines. I always liked them but like many, thought they were 2nd place to the '68-'70 cars. Not anymore. They are now old enough to be true classic muscle. The last of the best.

Dave404 · ‎21-01-2021

Too bad because diesels are now near zero emission vehicles. Way cleaner than a dirty gas engine and are the best in so many other ways. Electric might be viable one day. Not quite yet for most people.

Dave404 · ‎19-01-2021

Now that I'm done bugging Haggerty staff about typos they made, I would take the Impala. I'm well aware how rare and special the SS 427 package was compared to just an SS with a 427. One car I've always wanted was a '69 Impala SS 427 hardtop with 4 speed.

Dave404 · ‎19-01-2021

You fixed your spelling error. That was fast!

Dave404 · ‎19-01-2021

That '68 Chevelle must be really rare. I never heard of an option called "posit taction" 🙂

Dave404 · ‎15-01-2021

I've always been surprised at the C1, C2, C3 classifications. I would have thought the '53-'55 models would be a C1 and '56-'62 would be C2 etc.

Dave404 · ‎14-01-2021

I've seen and even driven cars I found for sale that I used to own. I wanted them back but soon found out why I sold them in the first place and the reasons still exist. And still I have regrets.

Dave404 · ‎18-12-2020

Adjust the hood so the trim lines up.

Dave404 · ‎26-11-2020

Doesn't sound very environmentally friendly. A Tesla Model 3 Performance would blow it away in a drag race.
