I really liked the AMC Amitron and just read a bit about Richard Teague, the AMC designer mentioned here. He was a cool guy and forward thinker -- kind of an unlucky upbringing though. When he was young, I guess the family car was hit by a drunk driver which broke his jaw and he lost some teeth and one eye, and his mother was left an invalid from it. After that, his father was killed by a drunk driver. I guess the only good thing is that got him out of the war. He went to design school. He designed many AMC cars such as the Javlin and the Pacer which I like both. The Pacer supposedly partially influenced the designer of the Porsche 928. Something I never knew about was the AMC AMX III which Teague designed and was much like a Ford Pantera but never made it to production but it would have been a very nice car. I owned a '74 Javlin long ago and it was kind of cool but suffered from dumb things like the distributor was machined wrong and the windows were loose and were unfixable. The company was almost always broke so the cars suffered.
Reckon GM's Astra One was an attempt to built a sports car that was lower than Ford's GT40 (which was 40" high) but the GT40 was designed to race, not stun, & did what it was meant to do! Oh, those are not joy-sticks, but yokes!
The Ford Gyron basically copied a 1930's prototype from Daimler (the British company that was later absorbed by Jaguar). That one is definitely lost to history though. Daimler buried the vehicle so that the technology of the gyroscopically stabilised two wheeler couldn't be taken by invading German forces in WW2. No-one invaded, but they couldn't remember where it was buried.
So many mistakes, the engine in the firebird isnt the same type as in a jet fighter it's like the turbine in a helicopter and air brakes are simply flaps that jut out from the fusilage to slow a plane down.
Have a look at James Bonds Aston Martin DB 8 - it had an ejector seat. If she's a back seat driver - I guess it's not a big problem altering the configuration to a back seat. Of course you legally can't be doing it. But we've all had passengers where it would come in handy. Situations where you need to record the conversation/monologue... Judges drives cars too. Actions can be understood... They might not be acceptable - but getting the context - it might be understandable and the sentence being very lenient - as in the situation wasn't unprovoked.... It's like fishing... there's a limit to how much crab you can take...
I thought this was supposed to be about Ford not g.m.c.. Vehicles, at least.That's what the Bang said when I read it. Everybody knows. G m c and or Chevrolet, our junk !!

If you’re talking about an inline 8 show an inline 8. Not a v 8
Chysler made the only successful gas turbine motor, which did not even come close to melting asphalt.
The Astro 1 looks like a Corvette that got stepped on

That Astro 1 looks a lot in the front clip like the late 90s early 00s Firebird and T/A
That Timbs car looks weirdly unbalanced!
I want the amatron today
Really sad Norman Timbs Special had blown up in the fire. 😢

Yes it was destroyed by a fire along with another car
Car 2
I want a car with ultrasonic door openers and exit assist, .......... so when the wife starts nagging the door opens and she gets tossed out.
🤣🤣 amazing
