I love talking about/looking at pictures of ones I'll never have while on the internet. Err, we're still talking about pairs of designer jorts, right?

Yes. Oh hell yes. E: Looks like that's Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top's Cadzzilla, done by Boyd Coddington. Time to add a new wallpaper to the rotation. redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 04:08 on Jun 3, 2013 |

VikingSkull posted:Boyd, at one time, was a great hot rod builder. After his shop started getting on magazine covers, he either had the work farmed out or had his in-house employees do the deed. That's where Chip Foose got his start. Chezoom and Cadzilla were of this period, and while he did do some of the work himself, this was the start of his transition to businessman. Anything after this period he probably didn't touch personally. It's sad that my first real exposure to the Coddington/Foose style of hot rod builds were the awful TV shows with them yelling at their respective shops about deadlines or whatever's this week's drama. I really need to play NFS: Porsche Unleashed again.

With luxury cars I take the 'who's line is it anyway' approach: the numbers are made up and the letters don't matter. As long as you can still look down on anyone with a smaller number on the back, of course. redgubbinz fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Aug 16, 2013 |

This generation of GM wagons was amazing. My dad had an Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.3 I believe, very little rust or trademark GM decay for its age. 30mpg reliably, more space than some full size SUVs, plus the holy trinity: bench seats, column shift and a rear facing back seat. Unfortunately a combination of a careless Prius driver tweaking the bumper, no heat and a temperamental starter meant its service ended at just over 200k miles.

Pretty much anything American with a 3-speed auto and a carb for maximum misery. Preferably from the late 70s-early 80s, with vinyl seats and no A/C. Or if the show is to be entertaining, any one of the many botched SBC/SBF swaps available on Craigslist with the goal of making it do

Probably the same reason the USPS still uses those shitheap LLVs, easier to deal with terrible economy than a more complicated (and expensive) machine. Although with the tanks you lose out on both...
