Can into/cannot into is a Polandball meme thing. I.e. "Can into" would imply in this case something like a "seems legit".

My grade 8 shop teacher (and grade 9, too... and school's VP, also) drove a 240 coupe with a 5.0L under the hood. That was his DD. His summer car, which he often brought into the shop, was a reproduction Shelby Cobra.

It was he who inspired me and two years ago I almost got started building a V8olvo. Bought a 760 with a fuckered engine and trans but what I thought was a solid body and was shopping parts when I finally had my metal-working-madman of a friend get underneath and poke around only to tell me that it was also fuckered, that I'd just somehow missed the rusted rails, and I cried. $500 out of pocket, but I still drove that thing around without a care in the world until I sold it on for parts for $300.

I liked that car, despite it's terribleness. Here it's is.
