2nd gen F-Bodies, mainly THE Trans Am, but not limited to, are my favorite of the pony cars and the first dream car to me. It happens to be the 1976 Trans Am as that was the first to catch me youngling eye, but later on refining my taste to the 1979 model and then to the 1970-1973. But I gots to say that a 1970 Camaro split bumper is as close to my heart as any 2nd gen Trans Am. That 1979 restomod is just great! I love those updated snowflake wheels. There was a '76 Trans Am with Cragar SS wheels where I lived. I knew the wheels were Cragar SS because in actual fact, the word Cragar SS was on the center cap and it might very well be one of the first words Ive read in my life Big fat wheels in the back and it was raised slightly. The rear window had those sun shade louvers. Beautiful machine!

2nd gen F-Bodies were everywhere growing up, but I was always into full-size cars (even over intermediates). In fact, I used to sneer at F-Bodies. Now tho, I appreciates the hell out of them for their design.

I got the visual!!! Imagine trying to clean out the outside air of a city's downtown core? How long would a HEPA filter last by cleaning out the air for everybody? What about the surfaces? The air might be clean but are the surfaces clean as well? Does a HEPA air filter system clean the surfaces. Surely no bacteria lives on surfaces that we touch in our cars. The dashboard, the steering wheel, the seats we sit our asses on... So much wrong with a marketing campaign focusing on a HEPA air filter system in a damned car. A car???!!! Perhaps one of THE most dirtiest things we touch on a daily basis due to the fact that we dont wash our hands nearly half as much as we should, even during COVID times, eating and having crumbs and coffee spill and sauce from Big Macs fall, or slush during winter, driving around in cities where smog exists and a car is not hermetically sealed. Like not even 1% hermetically sealed... Leave it to the Mercedes fanboi to toot toot toot such a useless marketing bullshyting campaign...

• Trans is all buttoned up now- new front & rear seals, pan gasket, filter. Exterior cleaned off, linkage gone thru/lubed. It's off to the side, waiting. • My helper did a cursory cleaning of the cylinder heads- removed grease & flaky rust. • Finished deburring the lifter galley & block exterior. Going to take the block & heads to the engine builder next week, along with my brother's '65 GTO 389.

In honour of National Lampoons Christmas vacation. The year goes by and I always forget that a baby blue Continental is quietly parked slightly out of frame minding its own business until l I see the movie again. I get all giddy looking at it and New Year's Day comes along and I forget the car until... the following year. And the cycle continues... And yeah, Im watching the movie with my wife right now as I type this. I gotta say, its my favorite XMAS movie.

"Can't we all just get along?" ? Folk in here need to chill; none of us are making industry policy here... we're just talking.

I think you need to stop assuming things about people and their habits. I grew up on manuals and spent the first twenty years (after I was legal to drive at 16 in 1988) driving nothing but manuals, from a busted ‘81 Chevette to a (at the time almost new) ‘94 RX-7 and everything in between. Even after that, I have driven everything from a 2018 Corvette Z06, with a 7 speed manual, on down. I haven’t owned a stick in over a decade now but it was personal choice and had jack $h! to do with driving enthusiasm or lack thereof. STOP ASSUMING $h!, is the point here. Save your lofty standards for another site where they don’t mind the condescending tone of your posts. Again, assuming $h! you haven’t the faintest clue over.

All the bold parts say that true enthusiasts enjoy manual transmission, period. This is not mutually exclusive of the car enthusiasts that enjoy other types of vehicles. However, to be honest, on this forum IMO I see very few real auto enthusiast. Few people who were, and were contributing something of real value, pretty much all left. Most of the people that here currently just like to argue for pages about stupid sh@t. And it is getting old. So call me what you want, but at least I did and I do follow my passion as much as I can, not just argue on the internet.

One and only thing I do agree with you, I should have stopped wasting my time here long time ago. There is only one true enthusiast and a decent poster left here @balthazar . The rest of you are full of sh@t and excuses.
