The inscrutable, ineffable world of midcentury press shots is not for us to understand, Duell!

These "Rope Drive" Tempests are part of my favorite cohort of GM compacts; their stablemates include the (in)famous Corvair (though I prefer the second generation), the later-turbocharged Olds F-85...

That ad in the final post is fantastic! Back when "wing" mirrors were actually on the wings (fenders)! It's interesting how enthusiastically the Japanese took to them; I'd imagine the primary...

Was this not sent to Canada under both the Pontiac and Asüna badges? CDM FTW.

I'd be curious about people's EV experiences as well. As a stupid car person on the internet, it still doesn't quite sit right with me when existing nameplates get rehashed for EVs that bear no...

I don't know where to put this, so it'll have to go in this long-dead repository of Antipodean scuttlebutt.

It occurred to me that my cylinder count and valve count are out-of-whack:

'02 Honda...

Say what you will about BMW design, but it has been very flattering to the outgoing models for the last two decades! I remember really disliking the E9x models until they were replaced; now I only...

I noticed that we only have the A33 Nissan Cefiro (under the nom-de-guerre of the USDM Infiniti I30) in the Hideout. Does anyone have any pictures of the much-better-looking, in my opinion, A31...

A part of me almost enjoys that BMW has seen fit to up the ugliness stakes with each new model. I remember thinking the X7 was overwrought and unnecessarily "styled"...

Perkele!

I think I prefer the T.33 to the T.50, which was the last car launched about which I was really excited. Perhaps some 911 GTS/GT3 analogy is warranted. The T.50's more-modern styling integrates a...

Surely Giorgio would include a copy of this pre-installed in the tape deck:

I had always assumed that "Bellell" was a typo when people meant to reference the "Bellett". Here I am expanding my brain and learning that they were, in fact, two separate cars!

Good stuff as...

When I was in highschool looking for my first car on Craigslist, these were the vehicles most-consistently listed for fewer than $100. Later in life, I met someone who has driven Aerostars...

MoS, you've been busy! It's always a pleasure to click "New Posts" and to see you've been on a rampage in the Hideout again.

Do you have any photos of racing Imps? I have a softspot for these...

In (mainland) Europe, do you pronounce this "Darby" as the Brits do or more-phonetically like we do on this side of the Atlantic?

I listened to this one for a bit, but eventually I got bored of it; it definitely wasn't bad, just not enough to hold my attention in our busy world.

I do occasionally check in on Revzilla's...

Yep, definitely meant a seller's market but my fingers were, once again, insubordinate to my brain.

I believe this is the first generation of the WRX to not be soley offered with a manual...

Yeah, craigslist and other such sites popular with bottom-feeders like me have gone nuts in the last year. Those who've kept their jobs seem to have more discretionary income without the distractions...

My picks aren't movies, but I've always loved the cars in both Columbo and the Rockford Files; the titular Columbo drives a Peugeot 403 Cabriolet! How many of those could possibly have existed, even...

Yep; pitot tubes is the term. Pitot tubes are specifically for measuring airspeed, so they might just be normal pressure taps for help in confirming their analytical models.

You wouldn't happen to have any more pictures of the second generation, would you MoS? It's awfully cold in my garage, so I don't see mine nearly enough.

As a very simple molecule - much simpler even than the idealized C8H18 and C6H6 of octane and benzene, respectively, that make up gasoline - you don't have to worry as much about unwanted polluting...

These sort of deep cuts are why we love you, MoS. This is fantastic! Cop wheels, gasoline heater (robbed from a Corvair, no doubt), two tons, and a roaring 20 hp of six-volt power! What a thing

Some quick googling confirms that it was not, in fact, a kei car; the engine displaced 2,800 cc. I suspect that the hieroglyphs on air cleaner (HX for water-to-air charge cooling would be my guess if...
