Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It was just a 3rd gen F-body ad to try and make the thing seem cool despite terrible anaemic factory builds and options, on an objectively uglier generation of cars, exploring the constraints of new materials and processes. I'm actually more into them than is reasonable, but mostly because they were dirt cheap when I was a kid. (i.e. 305's were absolute junk, the rear end is weak, the t5 is too small, and the 350 only came in automatic, plus it handled like a tub with the stamped torsion bar and control arms)
