Very nice. You 'da man!

In the timeframe probably around less than 10 years ago, this old man remembers seeing alot more posts with people lobbying for higher prices. I think it goes in cycles.

I put 2.76's in my New Yorker and would not recommend it, unless you're just driving cross-country. I checked the fuel mileage a couple times back when I was driving it regularly and it dropped at least 2 mpg from around 11 to 8-or 9 mpg at best after the gear swap. You're just heating up the...

You guys really got it goin' on over there! It's almost like a time capsule caricature of Americana transplanted across the pond.

First 2-dr NYkr seen. I thought you had to get a 300 if you wanted only 2 doors.

One of these days soon I will get off my arse and get that Chrysler carb in front of me (again) and maybe do some old school driving again this summer. Maybe.

You diagnosing cars or people now?

I got me a little homemade 40MPG land missile:
