Reading the comments about CD and 8 track players made me think about my 1964 Volkswagen. I had just gotten out of the service and purchased the VW and installed a 4 track player. This required the installation of a 12 volt battery under the rear seat (the opposite side from the cars 6v). I had speakers in the doors and behind the rear seat, where I also had an amplifier and sub woofer mounted. I use to crank up the volume and play the Righteous Brothers. The girls could not believe the sounds coming out of a VW. (aww the old 4 track) ... View more

I love a flat head and my 34 has the original engine. I and my brother in-law rebuilt it and bored it out 180 over. It took several times of towing it to get it broken in enough to be able to use the starter. That was using a torque wrench to make sure each piston only increased in torque 5#.. Those old 6 volt starters really were weak, even if you put in an 8 volt battery.. It is nice to be original, but not very practical if you drive it regularly or long distances, ... View more

I had a 34 full fendered when I got married. However, it was sold to get the down payment for our first house. Sadly I will never be able to afford to replace it. That said I could not afford the house we now live in had I not sold it. Now as for my choice, I was a fan of Nelson's and a fan of the car. It would be the car I would love to own. ... View more

It kills me every time I see the price of a Gullwing. When I was a junior in high school a buddies father was a big time car dealer and exporter (to the west coast) in Detroit. He had a gullwing play toy that he knew I loved. He was going to sell it to me for $5,000. I had the money, but my father would not let me buy it. ... View more

I owned a 2004 XKR and had little trouble with it other than the seat control module. It was under the seat with too little clearance between it and the floor pans. It would catch and there goes the module. I was always leery of high speed as the front end would lift and the steering became very lite. After a few years I up graded to a Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It is all the car the XKR wasn't. Ya parts are not cheap, but if you take care of it you will not have to spend a fortune. Talking about under valued bargains I bought it for $42,000 with 24,000 miles. It cost me another $3000 to replace needed deferred maintenance items. (ie; transmission pressure hoses, hood, deck, and one door struts, boot pop-up rubber stops, and brake rotors (pads had been replaced, but not rotors). I did spend another $2500 to replace the factory wheels with chromed factory wheels, but when your car is midnight blue they sure make it pop. This is the one that stays until I go. It's my survivors (cancer) car. . ... View more

Like they say "ask the man who owns one". I am the proud owner of a 2009 Aston Martin V8 Vantage in midnight blue with Caspian blue interior. Prior to purchasing the Aston Martin I owner a 2006 Jaguar XKR. There is no comparison in performance and handling. The Jaguar was beautiful, but that was about all. The Jaguar was scary at high speed, the front end lifted and the steering touchy. Much more thought and technology has gone into the Aston Martin, which makes it fun and a pleasure to drive. As far as styling I find it far better and more classic than the newer F series Jaguar. Then too there is the prestige you feel by having the chance to own an Aston Martin. It had been my dream car, since I rode in a DB4 when it was new. ... View more

I would like to have seen them stick with the 4.7 and supercharge it. I think you would have had all around better performance and less chance of future problems. I much prefer a supercharger over a turbocharger. ... View more

The Nash brings back a lot of memories. When I was a teen ager I spent a week in the summer at my grandmothers place in Los Angeles. There was a Nash dealership about a block away. I passed it often and would go in and look at the cars. Yes it was not one of the hippest designed cars but it sure was good looking. The three tone paint was well done and the interior was very luxurious compared to the other comparable priced cars of the time. ... View more
