Okay, here we go, thread of threads. Starting with the Toy VIII thread since folks seemed to like it. I'll add more as I have time. Some threads I did as quote tweets because I'm stupid. As I get time I'll redo those and add them. Usual caveats, don't reply here, blah blah blah

Manual transmissions are dumb. It doesn't improve MPG, marginally improves reliability over the lifetime of the car, and it doesn't give you "more control" over your car.
You only say this shit cuz you made cars your personality and feel personally attacked when people disagree

21 yo me: buys new SVT Cobra
My mom: A sensible decision. You'll finally have at least one reliable new car.
Me: bring it straight home from the dealer, tear it apart and mod the shit out of it
1). Here's the saga of the yellow car for anyone who missed my random posts and/or gives a shit. The car ran in the mid-10s with an N/A 4.6 4v. It wasn't legal for any heads up class in NMRA or NMCA or whatever but that didnt matter because it was always primarily...

Years ago I bought a dozen complete 3-2 set-ups off a guy down in Oklahoma. There was a lot of unique hardware in a 440 6 that made it a good basis for a street sweeper but the 3-2s were often seen as a drawback so guys would swap them for a big single four.

440 Six Pack: 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee: Would you keep this Super Bee as a brutal street machine, or dial it back closer to stock V-code specs? barnfinds.com/440-six-pack-1…

Neither Wilson nor Taylor were good actors. Still, this is most accurate portrayal of street racing that ever came out of Hollywood. Hellman and Wurlitzer didnt know much about the car scene and deserved credit for their commitment to get it right in spite of this

Lol. F&F isnt even close
Is "Fast & Furious" the correct answer, or do you have a better car movie in mind?

As for run-of-the-mill cars, Im not sure how much of that is still being restored. For top-flight stuff, NOS still rules the roost. You buy a 1500 dollar set of shitty Chinese 1/4 panels for your '69 Camaro, you're 5k deep in em before you're shooting color.

I dunno. At this point the tooling all looks like Aella's bored-out snatch. Actually, it looked like that 25 years ago. Be better off starting over somewhere else with new tools but I dont know if theres enough of a market left to bother with the expense

They've been stamping out replacement sheetmetal for old cars in China for years now. They aren't good.

Worth noting that the mundane family cars of today (particularly the electrics and hybrids) brutally mog the “performance” cars of the 60s in the quarter mile
Fast became so accessible that it wasn’t particularly exciting anymore

Something people forget is that in the 80s and 90s photos of super cars would be everywhere in society. Offices. Stores. In peoples bedrooms
A huge chunk of the population was a car enthsuasist of some degree
That's faded a lot over time. Cars are not this cool thing anymore everyone loves.
Now it's down to a small minority.
New things have emerged. Like city living without a car. Or the emphasis on safety/comfort.
Cars are not very cool anymore. Not like they used to be

Ferrari's first EV, the 2027 Ferrari Luce, debuts, with 1035 horsepower from four electric motors. The body and interior were shaped by an outside design firm led by product-design superstars Jony Ive and Marc Newson. The four-door Luce is Maranello's first five-seater, and it arrives in the States next spring.

When you drove a '71 Barracuda convertible, basically every day was a long day of being fellated

I loved Mountain Dew when I was a kid but I lost my taste for it pretty early. None of the soda brands survived the transition to corn syrup and plastic bottles very well but Dew seemed particularly hard hit.

Allegedly the color scheme is original. Makes the mods more unfortunate.

The point is that its like this for *everything*. From fucking cheeseburgers to houses and I see guys on here who I think are my age, or older, reflexively defending the status quo who lived through the same shit I did. That Im describing. And I feel like im going fucking crazy

Bought my first Hemi around this time, '66 Belvedere 2rd hardtop, 4 speed. Out of a junkyard for 1500 bucks. Helping buddies buy cars, too. Pick up a nice '69 Charger RT/SE out of Topeka with a friend. Complete, running driving for 3200, iirc.
