  1. Stick. Long throw, of course. I didn't get it into 4th.Didn't need to. It's like the car moved independent of the gear it was in. Just press the gas, and if it doesn't go, press harder.
  2. I'm just guessing the steering is power-assisted...car's got fuel injectors. On the other hand, the windows aren't power, they are manual. I don't know about the convertible top...one way to find out is to have one of our Claifornia people go check it out. This summer I test drove a 1979 Chevy El Camino with a 4 speed manual !!! I must admit it was truly a piece of shit, and like you said, friggin dangerous to everyone, even at 20mph I felt it wasn't my ride. The seller wanted $9.5K. I couldn't even park the damn thing...
  3. Sitting at a Denny's in Wappinger Falls, NY one night in the mid-1990s.. It was pushing midnight...the bum sleeping in the next booth started to snore louder. I asked the waitress, "Who is this bum, why doesn't the manager wake him up?". She said, "That's Denny.".
  4. It's got an FM radio! I'm pretty sure the steering is hydraulic.
  5. Looking at all these covers, the E-type Jag must've been THE car to have in the mid-1960s.. Indeed! Got to be the band member or the principal artist. Not some random chick.
  6. Historical gravitas...shit, they are trying to milk this for every pfennig. I think it's stem to stern, not bow to stern...
  7. Things still need to be replaced , even if the vehicle is in a climate-controlled garage and not driven - all kinds of rubber hoses, rubber gaskets, fluids, insulation, etc..
  8. I believe that's an E-type Jaguar, in classic English racing green.
  9. I MUST visit this magical Waffle House....preferably in the Treme faubourg of New Orleans. I smell a family vacation!
  10. For some reason this reminded me of Jon Voight's Chrysler LeBaron convertible.
  11. How about looking INTO a window, not out of one? That's way more rare.
  12. I "might" have that SACD. Just recently got my hands on a NOS Oppo UDP-203, and it appears that the set up is to be done through a tv monitor. It automatically selects the CD layer on dual discs. I've got to hook it up to a laptop or a tv to change preferences.
