Ah I knew of the 968 but was under the impression it was only the late model convertibles which is why in my mind it had the seperate designation.

Does anyone else get hard for all original (aside from the obvious visual mods such as hood, engine, and cage) 13,000 mile 1967 Mustangs that ran Bonneville in '68 and '69 with Edelbrock 390s?

So when BMW/Audi announced their new headlights that run high constantly and change the cutoff for oncoming traffic it was said that the system isn't legal in the US because the highbeams are no longer on a switch.

I drove a Tesla today... it has auto high beams. Automatically turns highs on when it detects no oncoming traffic or car ahead of you. Why can't BMW/Audi do this? There is still a high beam switch, you just don't need to use it when you click the auto highbeam button.

Apparently current BMWs also have auto highbeams. I'm talking about these lights though.

Don't worry, they'll only be on higher end cars, and everyone who buys those knows what they're getting into for maintenance on finicky, expensive systems that are cheap and simple on all "normal" cars!

Saab Sonett III - I've never seen it driving around but it looks like it's in good shape from a distance.
I met the guy that owns this - apparently it runs and drives just fine. At one point he owned FIVE of these things in various conditions. He started buying them during the pipeline boom days. He says they're super heavy in the front so they don't handle well but with studs they're awesome in the snow. His other car is a really nice FD RX7, another oddball you don't really see much up here.

Just in case working on real cars was getting too easy, some Finnish dude is making a car building game:

http://www.johannesrojola.com/msc/

The geocities look is part of the humor, if you have an hour to burn watch the dude's video because it's hilarious. He adjusts valves, talks about lovely radio music, drinks and drives, and talks about how Forza or GT4 is about mastrubating to shiny cars. The game even comes with a van you use for part runs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0IZ_TEzg7M&t=1618s

Later on he gets stuck in a ditch and tries to use a milk crate of beer under the tire for traction before rolling the car. "I don't think I can turn this over with the beer case."

This is glorious. I skipped to about 25 minutes in and watched to the end, then skipped back and watched it all again. "Grilling sausages, drinking beer, causing havoc and bad habits like this. This game about summer. Finnish summer, with young people driving old car that he likes very much."

Awesome.

That is such a cool Cutlass. I've always loved those wheels. Spyders, IIRC.
That's a '69 cutlass, BTW, with a '70 W-25 Outside Air Induction hood - fiberglass from the factory!. It's also still using the factory Hurst "his-n-hers" dual gate shifter and console. Neat!

This gave me some good ideas. I've been daydreaming about a new transmission in my old 68 Sportwagon. Maybe to compliment a built and fuel injected 455 Buick.

The regular TBs had some kind of GM in-house clutch type AWD that also had low range, and it was by all accounts complete junk. The SS actually had a Torsen center diff and thus full time mechanical AWD, which was fine except now that all the wheels had all the traction all the time, and an LS2 under the hood, the transmissions only lasted about 35k miles between failures.
