I hate you... have I said that yet? Haha... just kidding (I mean that).

I can't stop looking at these 1960-1962 Pontiac Tempest / LeMans... they are gorgeous... it's like... it's like I get that...

Wait, so what you're telling me then is that I need to buy one of these, because my Olds 455 Big Block will bolt right in with the right motor mounts?

We are also more busy today, and our lives are filled with so much more stress and unnecessary "stuff."

I have a 2002 Ford Crown Victoria LX, which... I realize is not really a classic. But I...

Is this a thing? I've never heard anyone bash a 2nd Gen, other than the usual culture-related comments associated with owning an F-body and being on blocks and nonsense like that. But I've never...

My experience is identical to yours. I have an old charger that was made in the late 1960s... it's got chrome on it, and looks like something out of the Jetsons. It's hilarious. It came with the...

Hahah... I don't know if it's people getting soft. If we used that argument, you could say, why wouldn't people just drive their classic Model-Ts and As to work every day?

I think there's a number...

I get it... but I'd have to assume there's more to it than that. I don't know if you still work or are retired (I'm only 45... so still working), but I could never drive a RAM-Air 4 TransAm to work...

There is no Karen that will convince me that there's anything except awesome when it comes to a SD455 Pontiac TransAm. It doesn't matter if that Tesla is a mile ahead of me... that roar of the beast...

I'm a Gen-Xer... but just barely... I came in at the end of the 70s, haha. Almost a Millennial.

I like the 80s cars, but it's not really what I'm looking for. I'm starting to find that the...

Thanks guys, I'm both a traditionalist, and a realist. I already had a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme that I'd intended to drop the Olds 455 BB into... but it was an all-original Cutlass with 83k...

I won't go into too much detail, but I spent the last decade of my life working for the government dealing with offensive and defensive cyber. Your concerns are warranted.

When I was about 18-19 and didn't know any better, I took my Fiero (my first car) to a Jiffy Lube and when I drove over the pit ramp, my catalytic converter ripped off. They told me it was my fault...

Jeff, that Pontiac is gorgeous... really pretty color.

That's crazy... the Pontiac Ventura is a bad-ass car. Isn't built off the Nova platform? I remember seeing one in the junkyard (I don't mean that as an offense, most of the classic cars I've seen...
