Mine now.




My next one, maybe silver, maybe white:

I'm going to try to cut and paste my last several posts from the coronavirus car thread.

It's the weather car thread, dammit.

So here's my 2012 Boss 302.  It's not actually mine, but mine is Kona Blue with the factory wheels, just like this one.



I think it's a good-looking design, reminiscent of the pony-car era without being a copycat, but it has many of the early signs of what have become even more sore thumbs on more recent cars.

Those round objects flanking the running pony in the grille are non-functional air traps.  They are supposed to pay homage to the blanked-out headlight sockets on Parnelli Jones' Trans-Am Champion 1970 Boss 302 racecar.  But what they do is block air and add to drag.



Back to the blue 2012, down below the bumper, the "intake" area is split into 3 sections.  The middle one is functional--air flows through it to the radiator.  The smaller ones flanking it are totally non-functional.  They are for looks and trapping air, increasing drag.

Which is not in the spirit of the original Boss 302, which eschewed non-essential add-ons.

Nice-looking '68 Camaro, as '68 Camaros go.  My brother had one.  Not nearly as nice as that one.

I was never a fan of big-block (427 in this instance) pony cars.  Maybe because I drove one of these before I ever drove a pony car.



(Never had a roll-bar on mine.)

So I liked handling more than straight-line acceleration.  Late '60s pony cars didn't handle well in general, but they really had trouble going around corners with big-block cast-iron engines under the hood.

924 or 944, Badge?
