Suspected impaired driver crashes into “Report an Impaired Driver” sign:

This reminds me of the recent case in (I think) Florida, where some flooded-out Teslas caught fire. “Get rid of that Pinto (or similarly accused vehicle model) and buy yourself a Tesla,” they said. “It’s so much safer,” they said.

Unlike many new cars, in which case knocking off the hideous stuff would leave you with just the engine, seats, windows, and tires!

The ’67 Newport that was as much a part of my childhood as the human family members had similar “cup holders,” too. Likewise for some Dodge B-vans. Motorized demonstrators of Newton’s First Law. :wideyed:

Ah, yes, Radio Shack. I worked at one near the close of the Eighties; while it wasn’t my favorite workplace, it was hella fun to shop there. I might print a couple of those myself. My T&C already has a dealer and state inspection decals dating from when it was a new/late-model car in South Dakota.

What does sales code Y14–Solo Car (Sold Car?) mean? I’ve never seen that before.

I’d love to know how much it costs. It sure looks like an awesomely useful tool.

I know what alternative you mean, but I can imagine others of a geographical kind: where winters are nice, but the people aren’t. Or with hurricanes that make the residents think, “blizzards are for sissies.” Or bugs that are big enough to shoot. Not to mention obscenely expensive real estate...

Someone is damn lucky to have avoided qualifying for a Darwin Award!

Hey, where was Robynn S. when I needed to get free of my boss from hell? Stupid buzzword.

Too many computer geeks watched Knight Rider as kids.:p I’m reminded of the scene in Jurassic Park where the driverless Ford Explorer stopped at the wrong moment. Not that we have to worry about man-eating dinosaurs (and the Explorer wasn’t really autonomous), but I can foresee self-driving...

Tesla recalls 362,758 vehicles, says Full Self-Driving Beta software may cause crashes And Elon Muskox got pissed off at the word “recall.”

If mine had a wayback seat, I’d keep it raised except when I need the floor space. It’s part of the nostalgic charm.

What is that round thingamajig—the sheet-metal-holdtogetherer—really called?

Coachbuilder in the Sixties: 1967 Imperial Limo brochure on Dezo’s Garage website

I normally don’t go for aftermarket rims, but they really work here; the stock ones with the BSW tires looked too plain.

That is neat! Interesting, though, that the front seat looks more like one from a Newport than an Imperial. I wonder how much of a Mopar following there is in the Philippines.

Late to the discussion here; just stumbled upon the thread. That was my car’s “birthplace.” Sad. Those were the good old days when “ICE vehicle” meant only something like this:

Google coughed up plenty of results (mainstream media, not conspiracy websites) to back this up. I was going to post some examples, but they were yucky enough that even pictures of new Toyotas could work as eyebleach. When I moved back to Nebraska from Iowa, the license office gave me my...

That says something about how these things were built.
