A Horse With No Name

Yellow 72 Ford LTD 2 door, good condition, crusing along ....

Like the darker blue!

Some do, but I think Dfelt is right, gas then CNG then electric. I love the idea of an electric car, low end torque, from the very get go...

Plenty of advantages as well: Lower center of gravity Battery provides for additional structural rigidity More space for passengers and cargo (no exhaust, driveshaft, bulky engine and transmission, etc.) Instant torque Lower NVH Zero tailpipe emissions Greater efficiency Less maintenance Exactly.

It is hard to seperate cars and goverment anymore so you did nothing wrong. In fact it is getting hard to no get into politices on nearly anything anymore from what you eat, drive, wear your doctor etc. For a a ntion that was born from a desire to have personal liberty, we are rapidly becoming a nation that seeks conformity and gov't control over all kinds of crazy portions of our life. I am by no means a conservative or libertarian, but I believe that personal responsibility is being undermined by both the attitude of main street/voters and the willingness of gov't to regulate and fix everything. Sorry to rant....I just want the ability to make responsible free choices as to what I think is best for my family.

That would also solve a lot of the problems for diesels as well....the current VW diesels would pick up about 15 or 20 MPG if they could use slightly less restrictive technology for pollution control. ...I wonder how a converted vehicle would work for competition use. Would be cool to auto-x/race a converted vehicle.

Naw, not the Toughest, just people are sold on a cheap ass plastic interior with rubberband and twin body on frame and a Lego Engine. Cheap to fix, so the bulk of people buy em. Actually I think Mercedes Benz, Volvo, and BMW have the longest average lasting cars on the road, but there are more old Fords on the road largely because so many ugly rusted F150's run forever... CNG is a good idea...

Screwed no matter what indeed, and I didn't mean into make it into a politics thread. However, none of the small performance cars I like (FR-S, Cooper S, Cobalt SS TC, Miata, et al) make the upcoming Cafe requirements, so I guess small car lovers and truck lovers will both be screwed, pretty much no matter what.

Nice looking Z there, BP!

Glad your enjoying it... MORE...

I'm with 'blu on this one...

Critical injuries still happen with modern cars. I have a guy I race against who has a modern BMW (1 series). He got rear ended, and spent 2 and a half months off of work and in rehab. Insurance company fixed the car even though it had like 18 thou in damages...

Having owned (a long time ago) a two door Omni that was a decent but not fantastic little car, I'd have to disagree with the article. I've seen Turbo Chryco 4 bangers of the era embarrass SS 396 Chevelles at the drag strip, so...no I wouldn't call these a failure. ...and the smaller miklls are fu n to rev too. Looking forward to test driving a sonic myself, I've heard lots of great things from owners about how much they love their cars.

I have a huge fetish for vintage alfa's like this one... Since I posted a Miata for myself, I'm going to post this for Balthazar...

I think that this might be a Camino for Camino, but can't tell for sure through the foliage... No doubt about the last two being El Camino's... And a shiny Olds for Olds, just to spoil the mood...

Neat old GTO from Ebay...

Wow, last driven and lic in 1965....it's been dormant my whole life.

It's a closed body style 4 door, and will see the light of day again, some time... But wow, less than 10,000 original miles on the Tucker...

After a brief period of time with the initial purchaser, the fastback was purchased by a man who would ultimately be the caretaker of the car for the next 46 years. Seeing road use for a few years before going into long term storage, it was in the same storage area that the car remained until just recently when it was acquired by Legendary Motorcar Company. Remaining largely intact, with a little coaxing the 289 fired up and ran remarkably well. In addition to this, electrical components such as lights, wipers, heater blower, charging system even functioned as they should! Having been a little neglected for a few years, but being such a very special car, it is in need of and certainly warrants a complete restoration. It is an excellent foundation with great provenance to begin with. The car even comes with a copy of the original title with all stamped renewals dating back over 40 years!! With major milestones such as the 50thanniversary of Shelby American taking place, interest in Shelby products has only gotten stronger and this GT-350 is a true diamond in the rough and ready for the next chapter of this special history.
