I have heard the same thing from “friends” at the dealerships. Tesla has been the king of this model. I hoping competition brings us somewhat back to the norm over time. ... View more

Do road bike bicyclists just chuck their bikes over the tailgate? and instead of impressing me with $$$ of empty plastic tubs impress me with cubic feet of cargo space! I think a grown man could sleep back there too. If he curled up in the fetal position or hung his legs over the tailgate! Looks like a fine vehicle for the right people, just give me the specs. ...

It’s a shame that one can’t take their kids. How can the hobby/love of cars be shared? I understand the liability but I was awed by what I saw as a kid. As a teen, I even dabbled in selling parts off of a 240z parts car I owned, after seeing “how it’s done” ... View more

Great job on the article. Brought back many memories of going to find parts at the “junkyard” with my mechanic father. It was a kids playground; finding interesting treasure laying on the ground, “driving” cool wrecks, postulating the events surrounding the wreckage etc. I still enjoy going on occasions! In fact my car club, KYANA region AACA, does a junkyard tour of local yards that specialize in antiques. We have a ball! (Whether we buy parts or not!) It’s not about the kind of car you work on but about the hunt and enjoyment you get! Thanks for a fun read. ... View more

I believe the writer is mistaken. Firebird’s were available with the 455 and 455 ram air in the early 70s. I had a friend who had a 1971 Firebird formula for 55 ram air, it was a bad car! Then there were the 455 super duty models in 74/75. Even the 1976 Trans Am had the 455 available, albeit the one from the station wagon. ... View more

You are so right! I own a 1976 TA! (I assume you do) ... View more

I see nothing special about this Neon. It’s not even the last Neon. They were still being produced as Dodges. Davis should’ve bought the last “Plymouth” Prowler. Even though they were continued (like the Neon) as a Chrysler. I’m sure someone with a thing for Neons or Plymouths will shell out for it but, why? ... View more

Buying it all ahead of time? Another reason not too, as many of us have found. It may not fit or be defective when you get ready to use it years later and it’s been too long to return. Unless you are going for a total 100% concours restoration, most NOS parts will be extremely costly. There are a lot of good new restoration parts available. As far as disc brake and LS swaps; first they aren’t as easy as the 30 min shows on tv say and second think about how your going to drive. You may not need all of that stop or go power! ...

Nice recognition for what was one of the most iconic cars of the 70s. These cars were almost the American version of of the Countach. Kind of racy, kind of over the top. Right up there with the Super Bird. Congrats to the builder and Hot Wheels! ... View more

I’d have to differ with you on the T-bird article. T-birds actually outsold the Corvette in the early years but Ford went the personal luxury route (imagine if they hadn’t what the ‘Bird might be today, think GT) instead and let the Corvette become The American sports car. ... View more

Quality aftermarket valve covers tend to be built stronger,specially cast aluminum. These seem to torque better which allows them to seal better. And of course those decorative fins help  to dissipate heat a little more efficiently.  But they still look cool! ... View more

I never knew there was an “original”. The Nick Cage version is not Oscar worthy, but is not bad. I watched the original version after reading this article; I’ll take the reboot any day! But to each his own!  I did enjoy the article!  Thanks for the enlightenment! ... View more

I was 10 when those cars came out. Thought I could make them faster on my gravity powered orange track. Put a drop of penetrating oil on each wheel. Man they were fast ! A few days later all of the tires cracked and fell off. 😕 I was disappointed but  undeterred. Didn’t have any money so I bent the  axles enough to get the Delrin bushings to touch the track and they  we’re still fast! Needless to say, when I got older I threw those poor old cars away. While gone to college my mom threw the track away. Wish I still had them.  Great fun! Thanks  for the reminder! ... View more
