I like it, but I don't like it more than I like the $20k it would take to buy it.

I don't have as much love for the 70's barges, but a diesel would solve a lot of my objections.

I love the 4.0 in my Comanche, but without doing a full stroker punch-out, extra power isn't readily available.

Staying with my much-loved L6, I'm thinking 2JZ, S50, RB26DETT... something sacred to a particular set of fanbois.

A 4/6bt would be fun, but very heavy, and would overlap with my modern-diesel-in-a-60's boat daydream. Cummins in an Imperial, Duramax in a Cadillac, or (my current favorite) a Scorpion in a Continental.

I saw a Challenger today that was a faded maroon. Woman in her fifties or sixties was driving it. Patina like you wouldn't believe, and it sounded mean.

I tried to thumbs you up for that jazz club joke, but thumbsed you down by accident. Stupid thumbs.

So, which does the owner drive when it's raining?

This?


Or this?



Or even this?

It's a shame I have little interest in rods of this generation, because I have a restored steering wheel off of a '27 Model A that would look just perfect on one.. Blonde wood, black spokes... it will have a place of honor in the office if when we move into our new house.

Attention, Tanshanomi...

I'd never heard of this particular model - the Suzuki RE5 rotary... What do you know about it?

A wise person once told me "Spend your money on your shoes and your mattress. For most of your day, if you're not in one, you're on the other."

I haven't made it quite to nice-mattress land yet, but good shoes are an absolute must.
