Now this I can agree with!

I don’t get the argument that it’s deviating from “stock” when no stock car has TBI any more let alone a carb, no stock car has a 4speed auto let alone manual any more, GM stopped using that rear suspension design in their trucks before I was born 44 years ago and most vehicles outside of some economy FWD cars or most pickups have moved away from a solid rear axle, lots of cars use composite materials and have for much of my life, most vehicles have some form of aero tuning, be it for downforce or mileage as well as wind noise, outside of basic trucks, it’s rare to find a new vehicle with as much sidewall as NASCAR or F1 use and unless it’s some tiny, lightweight economy car, it’s hard to fine a new vehicle with 15” rims, let alone 13”.

Second snowfall of the season! ?

We’re talking NASCAR here Dave, the spirit of Smokey Yunick will remain strong there for years to come and there will still be room to find where to find something not in the rule books to do.

This guy brings an interesting perspective on how to look at the new car!

I’m curious to see how this works out, nothing wrong with bringing the cars into the 1990’s, tech wise, after all. Now if they’d just start putting production style bodies on them again...........

I like that one?

That Vette in the 1st pic almost looks like how the Corvette would have been if Duntov convinced Chevy to go mid engine in the late 50's!

Apparently I've managed to start 2 threads on this in 2016?!

This showed up today

That’s just how Torch is, though it seems to lacking one thing his earlier stories likely involved, something green, leafy, and not yet 50 state legal??

That’s why the wheel placement looks off!

I can see the chop in that ‘56, looks very subtle and maybe raked just a hair, but I’m trying to find the section. Did they take out some of the rear overhang!?

An E-Golf, first time I’ve seen one in person!

YouTube??

If you watch The Fall Guy and Knight Rider, it happened there some too.

I blame AC/DC for finding this band.....

Don’t know how this is the first time I’ve noticed this since I’ve seen it off and in for the last decade, but noticed that the Tahoe that is local Forest Preserve Police Truck is one of the factory Hybrid trucks too.

It!s great if you’re only interested in that era, kind of a let down for those of us who may want to build modern subjects or older, not already made 10 times over subjects.

It is and I know, just wish Mom could have been here for this too. Last Wednesday would have been the 53rd anniversary for her and Dad.

This was actually yesterday, but my niece has started to walk on her 1st birthday!

Awesome, happy to hear this!

I think a lot sooner than 20 years, they’re rare and in the last year or so a ‘00 Civic SI with low miles sold for fairly big money.

There are Gen-Xers and Millennials Are already starting to collect late 70’s to early 00’s cars and having car shows showcasing such cars. I do think that there will be younger generations that could be willing to care for cars like these......both cars like this Caddy and/or that factory turbo/stick shift Caravan.
