]]> Comment on Carless by David http://www.motochronicle.com/2011/04/25/carless/#comment-35 David Fri, 03 Jun 2011 10:53:20 +0000 http://www.motochronicle.com/?p=148#comment-35 I think perhaps you misunderstand me Mr. Solar Panel Spammer, my carlessness is temporary — it is not a granola lifestyle choice.

I have spent enormous amounts of time and resources to restore the kind of car that gets under 15MPG, blows exhaust that will make your eyes tear-up, shakes the ground under heavy petal, and gloriously wastes precious resources in a gratuitous display of violent acceleration, unnecessary horsepower, and sculpted vintage sheet-metal.

Worst of all it is sexy as hell so all the kids want one.

Generally such vehicles make environmentalists such as you quake in their birkenstocks, tear out their dreadlocks and piss in their cargo shorts.

Welcome to my blog. Now go home.

Got any pics of Sweet Spot?

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:11:58 +0000 http://www.motochronicle.com/?p=160#comment-26 Hey… nice van! For me the short wheelbase van was the way to go also…. it’s funny that you use the term “Sweet Spot” in describing the alternative of having a full size van. I named my van Sweet Spot, but for a different reason. Have fun with her, she looks great.

]]> Comment on Craigslist delivers the goods: matching oldschool bowtie hubcapz! by David http://www.motochronicle.com/2011/05/25/craigslist-delivers/#comment-25 David Thu, 02 Jun 2011 08:20:35 +0000 http://www.motochronicle.com/?p=169#comment-25 I’m sure I could have gotten them for ten times the cost on eBay, and waited a couple weeks for them to arrive. . . Been waiting for taillights for the ’69 Stang for a month now. . . damn seller keeps having “family emergencies.” How hard is it to put something in the mail?

Is it any wonder I prefer Craigslist?
