Chrysler Cruisin' Coast2Coast!

Chrysler Cruisin' Coast2Coast!
Jalopnik posted this with the question of just what kind of mid/late Sixties Mopar this convertible was. Judging from a few visual clues and the domed instrument cluster, it looks to me like a '66 Chrysler Newport or 300...


Those big-block Chryslers are FAST!

PT-Power-Shift

Power-Shifting the ol' PT Cruiser Turbo! Hoonage without the $1,800 repair bill. As if those transaxles could take any abuse to start with!

DISCLAIMER:
1. Manual faking on an automatic.
2. Funny sound effects - standard equipment.
3. No PTs were harmed in making this vid (no VISIBLE damage). Although Mom might wonder why her shift linkage is so sloppy and loose now. Friggin' kids.

CARS is a SUCCESS!

PIXAR's "CARS" is a SUCCESS!!!
How so? Proof? Fifth week still pulling in good money? No.
Here's your proof! They made the cover of MAD Magazine! You know you are something grand if THEY skewer you! Courtesy of a funny co-worker suffering from "Valve-Tie-Dementia" as well as a SEVERE "Monk-e-Mail" addiction (thanks a LOT, CareerBuildersDotCom!!!), here is some top-notch artwork from MAD artisté Tom Richmond that graphically offers PROOF:


Here are three contiguous pages of brilliance from Jacob Lambert (writer) and Tom Richmond (artist - PIXAR, are you SEEING THIS???), depicting:
"Rejected Characters From 'CARS'"


Hilarious, no???
Thanks, David! And thank you, MAD Magazine!!!
