Got this today, reacted with a solid “meh”
Sorry Derek. ¯\_()_/¯

for me it’s not even how lame the cars are, it’s the fact there’s some in EVERY BOX so when I ordered a bunch of parts after buying the Volvo I got like 10 stickers between all the boxes. What a waste. Just give me a discount code or free junk like harbor freight

I once had the side of washing machine covered in them, which is to say that I’ve been a R ockauto customer since the early aughts. Selling that washer and dryer set after moving last year turned out to be a good reason to get rid of them. One would have to be pretty cool for me to keep it now.

Not to start anything, but it’s this one:
I’m just not a truck or Jeep person and the rest of them appeal to me more:

I’m not really down on any of the ones I have. Maybe “Josh’s Honda”, with the oversize wheels? I dunno, not really that lame.
Or maybe one of the joops. Both are nice, though.
Matt's Nash and Andrew's Barracuda give me dirty thoughts.

I got a focus zx3 that’s just red with aftermarket wheels, also a few other “boring ones”.
The only good one I have is a blue viper. No pictures because I’m not home

Why don’t I get magnets? I’ve only ever got one and I’ve ordered from Rock Auto many times. I feel left out!

No! A nd as an aside you probably can get a bunch of stuff for the parts bin Bricklin at Rock Auto. My first wife’s best freind’s father bought her a Bricklin as an investment in the 80s, this was pretty common, and they still sell for about what he paid for it then, so I guess it didn’t pan out but as a free fridge magnet, sure. I think the truck featured by the OP is about the lamest one I have too.

Check the boxes closer. I always get one, I think there is a Triumph TR3 that is pretty neat.

Same here, I haven’t gotten a single magnet from them.

As someone who really isn’t into trucks, that actually looks like a nice build. I see cl ean wheel arches, meaty tires, and relatively tasteful wheels. Derek has better taste than 98% of lifted truck owners.

I have one of those Barracudas, although mine is silver with red stripes and red interior. It’s a 273 4 speed car with factory AC. It has been in storage for the past couple of years, but I should be replacing the fuel system this winter so I can start getting it back on the road.

The b uild itself isn’t terrible, but the styling of this gen of GM has never done anything for me.

That’s fair. Though I think they've only gotten uglier since.

Oof. I think you win.

BTW, don’t you just hate how some of them are needlessly referred to by brand, instead of by model name? Irks me to no end.

Yeah I've noticed that. It seems awfully arbitrary.

Nice. There's a guy here nearby somewhere with a two-door first gen valiant, but no first gen barracudas locally of which I'm aware.

I have a two door Dodge Lancer which is a variant of the Valiant. It’s a slant six with push button automatic. I’ve been commuting in my 73 Valiant 4 door the past two weeks while getting 20mpg. My daily is currently up on jack stands with no suspension under it for maintenance work.

Sounds like you are... The Mopar Whisperer. Or at least That Guy Who Specializes in Small Chrysler Stuff.
