I actually flew on an Island Airlines tri-motor as a kid. When I show my kids the one at Henry Ford Museum and tell them that, they are convinced I am a dinosaur, lol. I guess at this point, I probably am. ... View more

Congrats! as the owner of another "black sheep" Ferrari, (1987 Mondial 3.2 Cab), I can empathize that others will tell you that your car isn't a "real" Ferrari. To hell with them. Asking what model Ferrari they have in their garage usually shuts them up. A big advantage to the 308/328 V8 is how easy they really are to work on, and how rarely they actually need to be wrenched. Generally regarded as the most bullet proof engine Maranello ever drove out the door. Have fun, and take heart in the fact that both of our cars, like all gated shifter models, and going up in value little bits at a time. ... View more

I owned several 1978 and 1979 Devilles and loved every mile I drove in them. They were quiet, reliable and stylish, though not exactly economical on fuel. I later bought a 1991 Deville new and then a 2006 DTS. Both were as reliable as a Yugo, and incredibly cheaply built cars. The usual 4.1 and Northstar issues finally finished me on the brand. It is a tragedy what has happened to General Motors, but especially to Cadillac. ... View more

I used Reliable once about 20 years ago. At the time, i was living in the Detroit area, and I purchased a 1959 Bel Air off of ebay that was in the middle of nowhere Missouri. I called Reliable about noon on a Wednesday to set it up, and the car was in my driveway the very next day by 8:30 in the morning. It was like they must have been parked outside the guy's house waiting for it. Best service ever. They were Amazon before Amazon existed, lol. Then there was the other end of the spectrum. Sold a Triumph Spitfire, again off ebay, and the buyer arranged shipping. The driver that showed up could barely speak English, darned near burned the clutch out of the car putting it on the trailer, and then tied it down on a severly slanted platform that had the car on an almost vertile plane. I had mentioned to him it might be better to put it on the bottom, since in typical English car fashion, it dripped a bit of oil. He ignored me but I videoed the who;e process on my phone. When the car got to the destination, the angle had caused the gear oil in the trans to overtake the rear seal and pour all over the hood of a nice while Charger underneath. When the owner of the shipping company called me wanting me to reimburse him, I just sent him the video. That ended that. Also, when I bought my 1987 Ferrari, I immediately purchased Hagerty insurance because they were the only company I could find that would insure it while it was on the truck. ... View more

In my never ending quest to keep my 34 year old Ferrari in top shape, I deal with a British company named Superformance. Anytime I order from them I have the parts in my Florida based home in 30-48 hours. I don’t know how they get through customs and across the ocean that fast, but DHL seems to have it down to a science. I only wish I could get US based supppiers to ship that quickly! ... View more

The initial glance of a brand new 1968 LeMans blue Corvette coupe racing past my school bus is what ignited the car lover gene in my 12 year old body, so I'm rather biased. The 1/3 of your friends who told you that you would hate it when you drove it are nuts. I've owned two of them and loved every moment behind the wheel. I've owned a bit of everything in the last 50 years and currently have a 34 year old Ferrari in the garage, but a 68-72 coupe C3 still stirs that desire in my getting-older-by-the-moment bones. It was a staggeringly beautiful design for its day, and has worn well over the decades. Next time, at least go drive it. You may decide all that European engineering in your garage is at least matched by the best GM had to offer 52 years ago. ... View more

I used to be a Detroit River rat that waited impatiently every summer for the unlimited hydroplane circuit to show up, with their fleet of Merlin, Griffon and Allison V12's that sang like songbirds. To stand on the shore and feel the ground shake when six of these monsters roared by like the gates of hell had been opened and unleashed was an experience never to be forgotten. Soon, they started adding turbos to the Allisons that muffled them a bit, and then the dreaded turbine invasion began. Now we just had what sounded the world's biggest vacuum cleaners passing by.  The sport has never been the same, and now barely exists at all. ... View more

Carfax isn't perfect. A family member owned a car that had been hit HARD in the rear twice. It was fixed at the dealer that sold the car both times and insurance paid the claim both times. When it was time to sell the car, Carfax showed the car as never having had an accident! ... View more

I watched a guy who says he is a genius mechanic on Youtube. pick up a 64 Impala Convertible using a two post lift with the arm lifting points under the rocker panels. I kept waiting for either the car to break in half, or the entire frame assembly to separate itself from the sheet metal body, which had rusted floors. He said on the video that the car was "a unibody".  ... View more
