I owned a 1987 non-turbo 5-speed, bought in 1988 with low mileage. Loved it. A friend, who was a 928 owner, borrowed it for a week. His conclusion was that even though the car only had "90% the power of the 928" (his words), it otherwise was very similar. That was a compliment coming from him. He traded the 928 for the first NSX in town, so I got to put a few miles on that. Anyway, I'm not nostalgic enough to look for one now, but I have great memories of that '87 Supra. ... View more

We have an M Roadster that sees about 1500 miles per year. Why so low? It's no fun with the top up and I'm only 5'11' - or I was 20 years ago. Also, we are just north of Fort Lauderdale, so six months of the year it is too hot to drive with the top down. Third-world issues, I know. ... View more

I was about to write something scathing about having the Laguna S3 on the list without a similar Grand Am. Then I scrolled down a little further. Anyway, as a teen I bought a well-worn '73 Grand Am coupe with 4-speed. It was even more well worn when I had to get rid of it because i was a starving college student. I have seen less than a handful of the 4-speed's since then (mid-80's). Really like the Can Am, which are not too difficult to find today, but they are all automatics. ... View more

I see a lot of belly aching on an e91 thread (BMW 3-series wagons, 2006-2013) about a particularly successful, multi-time BaT dealer that is adept at finding and re-selling e91s. I don't think the belly aching is warranted, however, as he cleans up the cars and addresses short-comings. The descriptions appear to be honest, and I would be confident buying any of his offerings. Like @OptimusPrime says, no one is twisting your arm to buy. Perhaps it is just jealousy that someone found a deal with money to be made. ... View more

I had an e46 touring for 14 years. Currently have an e91. Long live the wagons! ... View more

Back in the late '80's I had a '74 Corolla, 1100cc, 52hp, 4-speed and armstrong steering, plus an '87 Supra, 200hp, 5-speed. Supra roughly 2x the weight and 4x the horsepower, but the Corolla was hands down more fun to ring out than the Supra, itself no slouch at the time. ... View more

When I saw a Dodge Magnum in 2004, it had a vanity plate on it -- "Man Wgn". From then on, my BMW '00 323i touring was known within the family as man wagon. So, too, is its predecessor, an '09 328i touring. For as long as possible I will own a wagon, and I won't be buying a crossover. You hear that BMW? ... View more

There is no crossover out there on which I would ever spend money. ... View more

A '54 Chevy is so bulky.  Yours, especially in the rear, looks so sleek and completely different.  I love it. ... View more

I have been a MotoGP and WorldSBK fan for two decades.  Last couple of years could only watch their races on my laptop for a small subscription.  I was a motorcycle track day hack for 14 years, giving me a taste of the athleticism required for peak motorcycle racing.  Each race may last less than an hour, but easily pack 10x the amount of excitement of a typical Nascar race.  Thank you for remembering #69 and thank you for this article. ...

My favorite was a 2001 QX4 I owned from new for many years.  In AWD, the power solely went to the limited-slip rear, and would bring in the front with about a 2 second delay on detecting wheel spin from the rear.  So you could fishtail out of a 90-degree turn from a stop sign, and then the fronts would bite and on you would go.  Great fun.  4WD was a button away if the crap was really deep. ...

Every one of these cars is still striking in appearance, in my opinion.  Wish I could pick a favorite.    I had MkII and MkIII Supras that didn't make the list, but I don't think it is wrong to leave out all of those 80's cars with hideaways.... ... View more

Thank you Philip Roitman for putting passion over fiscal sense.  You car is beautiful.  I had a '73 Grand Am with 4-speed while I was a teenager and thoroughly trashed it.  Glad yours is preserved. ... View more

I blew a bunch of money at Malibu in Columbus one summer in the early '80's.  The understeer was very frustrating, as was getting yelled at by the attendants for climbing the curbs.  Hated stopping for every lap.  Then, one evening Bobby Rahal set the lap record probably 3 seconds better than my best, and I never went back after that.  I eventually became a trackday junky with a CBR600RR, finding that sport to be more about ability than size of checkbook when compared to tracking a car.   Loved this article.  Thanks for bringing back those memories. ...
