Don't go to the show for the trophy - most in my area are for charity. You can always find someone to have a good conversation with if you try. my conversations with guys/gals who don't work on their cars goes like this. " Nice car did you do it yourself? (answer "No" or something close) Where did you get it done. They do nice work. What do you like best about driving it?" Always leads to a better talk. For those who want to be critical. "Because I do lot of my own work people are always asking me what they should do with their car and I always tell them do what will make you happy. That is what I did with this car." That usually stops the stupid comments. ... View more

I'm past 65 and none of this applies to me or my friends. Also on a cost adjusted basis that 30 year makes more than I did at that age. Not of fan of euro sport cars but I appreciate that people like them. people doing stupid and dangerous things in traffic - I have never ben a fan of. On the open highway as long as they are in control not a problem. I have met a lot of young people who have jobs work hard so they can play with their vehicles. Unfortunately met more that don't work, and mommy & daddy pay for everything that just put loud mufflers on slow cars. Easier to look cool than really be cool. JMHO ... View more

Your logic on 6-8 does not hold up. Led lights on an older car in some states is illegal. halogen's are expensive. robber is still used and works as good or in some case better than pu. Again rack and pinion is ok but not cost effect, pS works great. jmho ps ... View more

4 door Mustang was not even mentioned. Another piece of junk - looks horrible, consumes to much electricity for what it delivers. (Many states power grids have trouble keeping house air conditioning on in the summer and heating on in the winter. How are they going to keep cars running?) If we really needed another 4 door electric slug it has to be less than $25K. using the Mustang name plate is just trying to trick eco nerds in to thinking it is cool. ... View more

Sorry but I have driven a Lexus and it drove like crap. Repairs are very expensiveand the cost of one far exceeds a Most Gm cars. I have had Five straight Buick Regal Grand Sports. Four have had well over 100K on them, current one 106K and still runs like a scalded Cat and last trip got 36 mpg. My total non-maintenance bill for all 5 less than $1000 over the last 29 years. After 200K you don't know what a new cars runs like cuz you have gotten use to worn out parts. JMHO ... View more

As an USAF retiree and Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) washout - nice article. I will say in my experience Air Force base parking lots had more sport cars than your average business lot. In the flying squadrons age and marriage status had a lot to do with what was driven. Single guys were way more likely to have a hot car. Senior Officers with grown kids also seem to have hot cars. In my day USAF Academy grads got deals from the local Chevy dealer on Vettes. So at UPT base that had a lot Academy Grads there were alot of Vettes. You mentioned High Flight my "dollar ride" (first flight) in a T-38 Talon my instructor quoted the entire poem while doing acrobatics in the cloud formations. Very cool. The thing I learned that help with my driving skiles is to keep you head on a swivel and your eyes moving. The second best is your mind has to be several miles in front of the aircraft. If you only keep of with the vehicle you are to late in your reactions. ... View more

As an owner of a '02 Buick Regal GS I recently took a friend and owner or a two year old ES for a ride. His comments were "Gee this rides better than my ES". When I told him my mileage, repair record and cost he was shocked. As a auto part seller I can tell you we sell more parts for older Lexus than Buick (even figuring there were more sold) and prices are far higher. The car has more than 100K and as the last check up compression was near perfect and mileage on the highway exceeds 34 mpg. Love that 3800 super charged engine. You are right GM manages to screw up most of their marketing. It seems like the people who do it don't even have a drivers license. ... View more
