a guy is looking for his dad's Cutlass, great story, sad ending (Lost Musclecars is a Facebook page for posting about cars you're hoping to find again)

the guy looking for this 442 is hoping to find his dad's car, for his sister who misses it bad. 

His dad was a helicopter pilot for the 101st airborne in Vietnam, and around 2000, got the the help of buddies in the neighborhood, and they rebuilt this 69 442. Then he was laid off, and he had to sell it. He's since passed away.

the GMC Jimmy is set to make a comeback as a proper Ford Bronco rival - taking inspiration from the square body GMC and Chevy C/K models built from 1973-1991, and why not? The Jeep, Bronco, and Scout are proving it's a solid business plan. So did the VW Bug, Mustang, Challenger, Camaro... etc

someone was watching a lot of movies, and decided to go into production on trackers that cops can shoot your vehicle with, so they don't have to chase it... they just get that tracker on your vehicle, and GPS tracking does the rest

After an officer fires a sticky GPS tracking dart onto the suspect’s fleeing vehicle, police can track vehicles in real time without staying in an active pursuit.

It works by launching a GPS-tracked object using compressed air from the grill of the police car

Then police can back off the pursuit and use the GPS tracker to locate where the vehicle ends up before apprehending the suspect.

This may be a result of state laws that restrict when police can engage in a high-speed pursuit

In 1913, David’s grandfather took a train from Pennsylvania to Boston, a trip that, on a good day, required two transfers and at least 12 hours. There he bought this very Buick. It's been in the family ever since

Arizona Highway Patrol stopped this oversize load after morning rush hour on I-10

There were no lights on the trailer, and no flags…

 No commercial driver's license, no insurance, no oversize permit, and no certified pilot car, 

Further investigation showed that 10 of the 14 brakes were inoperative, making this haul legitimately unstoppable.
