Jesus Christ, Allpar doesn't even mention why it's called the Mopar Missile, and who exactly is participating in that aero test. The answer is NASA Link

I would daily the thing. You dont know me. I would also buy the weight of the car in detailing stuff and the most comprehensive insurance. But still, I would DD the poo poo out of them. (Also because after expenses it would be my only car and home.)

If I had enough money to buy a Singer Porsche as a toy, I would drive it like I stole it, and let it wear its battle scars with pride.

The Mustang is like a rock star that rose quickly to fame during the 60s, peaked in the late 60s then descended into drug abuse and obscurity during the 70s. For 30 years they only appeared in scandal magazines, until they eventually cleaned up and made a triumphant return in 2005 with a brand new album.

If I had Singer money I'd buy one to rag it about and never clean it simply to annoy people. It'd be maintained but gently caress cleaning it, it'll only get dirty again anyway...

Imagine that engine bay coated in filth and that carpet covered in dirty footprints and that beautiful paint covered in chips. You can't use it so what's it for? Other people may say they'll thrash it but I'd use it for exactly what it's for, a show car for looking at. If I had Singer money I'd get the Singer then keep it absolutely perfect while I thrash a much cheaper Z06 around town every day. But that's mainly because I wouldn't want to lose all the money it's worth. I wouldn't keep it pristine just because it's too beautiful to use, because just look at the donor cars they used to make them. These things are practically built from nothing so it's not like they can't make more anytime they want.

Imagine that engine bay coated in filth and that carpet covered in dirty footprints and that beautiful paint covered in chips. You can't use it so what's it for? Do you live inside of a muck plant? Because I'm able to drive my Not-a-Singer car (with gusto) and not have any of these things happen, and if I had a disposable $5000 a year for detailing money like a Singer owner would, my show car (8 year old daily driver) would probably look even cleaner.  The Singer is a race car that is meant to be rebuilt as required, so why not drive it like it's meant to be used and worry about your paint chip bill when it becomes an issue. You can always take a mortgage on the second yacht if a respray's cost is too daunting.

Today I passed an ordinary looking sedan on the freeway and the next thing I know the dude is whipping past me in a rumble of V8 fury. I squint at the unfamiliar yet familiar logo and realize: it's a brand new Holden Commodore SS. On a southern California freeway. For several more miles this guy would drop back and then do a ridiculous pull up to 120 and repeat. Didn't realize you could import those here. edit: I guess he just bought Holden badges for his Chevy? Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Mar 16, 2016 |

Lots of GTO and G8 guys do the same thing.
