Now that I thought about it some more, the NBL wasn’t for the vehicle being tested but rather a 0-60 comparison with some other vehicle. Which I don’t remember, either.
I saw the red Chevy pickup I posted last weekend actually being driven today. Given how slowly it pulled away from the stop sign, it must still have its original 92 hp “Thriftmaster” six cylinder engine. I may have found a vehicle slower than @Bullitt’s Vanagon! Of course, it’s from a completely different era, and I’m sure it was considered adequate for the time.
Not my picture, but someone posted a picture of their truck.
That ain’t easy to do!
Yesterday on my lunch time walk I was in Burlingame and spotted these cars.
The license plate frame says, NOT MY DADDY’S OLDSMOBILE
Rambler Classic sedan 660. Looks like a 1964
Shouldn’t this say, LUV2GO?
The Mercedes S580. MSRP around $250K.
1st generation Jeep Grand Cherokee, the ZJ, manufactured 1993-1998. Very clean example.
VW Jetta, 3rd generation: manufactured 1992-1998. Pretty nice for 30 years old.
OWWWDEE
But I think that’s one too many Ws
Ooh, that '69 442. Be still my thumping heart.
Productive lunchtime. Did you get to eat? 
That Jetta reminded me of my first car:
I had a 1976 1.5l Diesel Golf once (handed down from my grandfather) … one of the first small diesel engines to be around.
In the winter, for the first few minutes it would not go faster than 50 or 55
…
km/h that is …
And it was so damn loud inside you couldn’t really talk to the other passengers - you really had to yell at each other to carry a conversation…
ohh… and it was beige

I saw this Mint-toothpaste-colored G-Wagon on my way to pick up dinner:
My dad had a four-door with a four-speed from a few years later. He taught me how to drive that little car; tried to teach me how to parallel park, too.
I remember a trip up to Illinois one Christmas, about a 16 hour drive from New Orleans. We spent the night somewhere around Cairo; even there, the VW was not liking the cold weather. Sounded like a tractor when Dad went to start it the next morning.
Saw this Ford Torino yesterday in a restaurant parking lot.
I saw those pictures scrolling while through imgur yesterday and wondered if that account might belong to someone here.
yes, 4 speed, lots of noise, shakey as hell, no power to speak of … might as well be a H-D…
.
odd thing I recalled when looking at pics of the dashboard: the mono-speaker under perforations in the co-pilot’s side of the dash … not that you’d hear much (but add “ugly” to “useless”)

Looks better than the one I saw a while back (which I think I already posted)
You found me!
Hey! We spotted the same Torino in the same driveway on different days! Imgur says my post was from 4 months ago.
I never forget a rusty car. Or a pretty face.
ETA — I found my pictures on my phone of the same car in the same driveway. My pictures were taken back in March. @Joey_P please check your PMs.

Nope, Milwaukee.
JFC, I just realized it’s your picture. Looking back, you were trying to ID it and I wanted to post a mirror image of it so it would be orientated the same as another picture I found. Looks like I uploaded it to my imgur account to repost it here. I run across the picture from time to time (in my imgur account) and remembered it when @Crafter_Man posted another Gran Torino.
Apparently, in the 5 months since then, I just assumed it was a picture I took.
FWIW, that’s at least the second time I’ve misremembered a previous post as one I made when it wasn’t.
(and that ‘nope, milwaukee’ was the beginning of my answer to the PM, didn’t mean to copy it here, but I wanted to post this ‘retraction’ in the main thread)
Okay cool. When I saw your Torino I immediately recognized it and thought that’d be pretty wild if that really happened. Which of course is possible. But then when I found it in my phone and saw its location, well, that led to my PM — thinking that we may cross paths from time to time.
It’s all good. Don’t worry about it. I forget stuff all the time, as my wife reminds me. But less so with cars. I tell her that my brain remembers the important things!
