Author and political satirist P.J. O’Rourke has an new book out titled Driving Like Crazy. The book, featuring a young P.J. laying across the hood of a ‘67 Mustang, talks about how the muscle car was once a vehicle for guys wanting to impress girls, and how this has been displaced by the emergence of social media and other less tangible methods.

P.J. was recently interviewed by Jon Stewart on the Daily Show. Usually such interviews talk superficially and in generality about muscle cars. Surprisingly though both guys deserve kudos for their knowledge of such cars, and more-so for keeping the discussion very relevant to the car on the cover.

At 1:46 into the interview Jon Stewart says, “And you take out the 289 and throw in the big-ass Cleveland.” We’re not sure when the last time any classic pushrod Ford engine was called out by its CID on cable television, but we approve.
