Pham Nuwen posted:You know how everybody calls old sedans boats, talks about how they're so big? Really? Because my 2005 Crown Vic is 212" (17' 8") feet long and over 6' wide, and the frame for an '86 is essentially the same. The newest Camry is smaller in every dimension. It's shorter by almost 2 feet. That said, modern pickups and SUVs definitely eclipse it. Sagebrush posted:I park my little 2-door econobox on the street between a full-size Lexus SUV and an F-250, and I literally cannot see my car until I'm about 30 feet away. My car is so much smaller and narrower that from down the road it just looks like there's an empty space between the other two. Periodically I forget about this phenomenon and panic that my car's been stolen. Same with my wife's Spectra5, or, when it was drivable, my tiny little first-gen RX-7 (14' long, but, like belly high - 4'.)

The shape of the C.V., plus the slightly lower original height (and maybe add a little more sag for old busted suspension) probably just fooled my brain into thinking it was smaller.

Olympic Mathlete posted:https://twitter.com/nkoleszar/status/1337931826250342402?s=19 One is a 'fullsize' while the other is a 'compact'. Double cab or not, one would naturally be larger than the other. The small one is probably a 2wd while the big one is probably a fore-ex-fore. Which typically adds height with tire and suspension upgrades. A more valid comparison would probably be an f150 crewcab of the same vintage as the Toyota to see how much difference there is. Or just for the hell of it, an f350 of that vintage vs the modern f150. wesleywillis fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Dec 15, 2020 |

My experience is mostly with B-body caprices, but I always found them remarkably maneuverable given their size. They had relatively short wheelbases compared to their overall size, and hilariously overboosted power steering with no CV joints to limit steering angle.

They had relatively short wheelbases compared to their overall size, and hilariously overboosted power steering with no CV joints to limit steering angle. The Vic's steering was also boosted to hell, the ride was soft, and although that Windsor was shockingly underpowered the AOD wasn't afraid to kick down a gear. I enjoyed doing donuts in the gravel parking lot at work and just loving flooring it around town because the engine wasn't loud enough to cause any fuss when I did. It was also extremely fun on a curvy road. I'd absolutely own one again if I had a place for it; since I work from home, the 16 mpg wouldn't be quite as painful.

You know, even if you unironically love the FF franchise, Paul Walker was probably the last reason. Half the appeal oF FF is that it's like the sole AAA franchise out of Hollywood that actually has a mostly non-white cast.

Both are amazing dads but are definitely super stressed daily and back when we could actually visit i would feel a little guilty about leaving them at the mercy of their hordes.

^^^ I want to say Escort too but it was barely in a few scenes IIRC. I definitely associate the series with the Supra and the RX7, and between them the Supra was much more tasteful so I'd have to say that's my pick. Rhyno posted:Paul was a draw for a lot of people. Whole lotta white trash car guys identified with the character. drat right about Han though  For some personal terrible car stuff, I just received like 8 parking fines in the last few days. They said they wouldn't enforce the stupid parking zones in the city center during the lockdowns but apparently they did or started enforcing them way earlier than planned. It took them forever to issue too, so some of them are from loving April fuuuuck
