Colorado Highway 92 that goes along the Gunnison River, through the Black Canyon, and ends in Delta is quite epic. Little known to even many locals. But if you ever get to Colorado and want to get off the beaten path (I-70), it's well worth your time. ... View more

Unabashed effort by Toyota to leverage the Corolla nameplate. Major car companies just can't resist the urge to do this. Witness Ford using the Mustang name in an E-vehicle SUV. It happens all the time. Oh well, I guess I'll settle in and wait for a Corvette something-named electric SUV from GM sometime in the future. ... View more

Without being political, I think the Karl Rove analogy works. Makes sense to me Jack. Let's just keep it simple and take it for what it's intended. If you want more politics, just go to the NFL or another entertainment venue. You can get a nose full there. ... View more

Great and encouraging article. Nice to see someone flog it and take care of it. A strong testament to Porsche engineering. ... View more

I had two 95's...an R & M. Really miss them as they were such pure analog sports cars that were dead nuts reliable and simple. Pure joy on those mountain roads! ... View more

Great article.  To all the FCA quality haters, I think you're missing the point of the reason this car exists.  Maybe you need to spend $80k on a Lexus and be done with it.  But I hazard to guess how many of those "high quality" Lexus we'll see at Cars & Coffee events 20 years from now.   ...

I bought a mid-80's Omni GLH turbo new.  Wow did that thing have turbo lag.  But once it spooled up, hang on.  This article reminds me of that car.  Endearing is the word that comes to mind.   ... View more

I'm surprised the "original" 2008 SRT8 didn't make the list.  Got the ball rolling for this whole Hellcat thing.  I had one in Hemi Orange and the SLP 475 HP package.  One of my favorite sounding cars of all time.  Full throttle exhaust sounds were heavenly and have to be experienced in person.   ...

Interesting to me that we're having this convo on performance SUV's.  Sport Utility Vehicles...or in the case of BMW SAV...whatever.  We are witnessing the shift of what the world considers a performance vehicle.  I guess I'm too old to think of that being a 2 door coupe with a V8, rear wheel drive, and manual xmission.  I'm feeling very old at the moment.   ...

Great article.  Good cap to my Friday!  I've done the Dragon several times.  Two ends of the spectrum, once in a Challenger SRT8 and then in an NA Miata.  I have to admit that I preferred that NA on the Dragon.  I preferred the SRT8 on the drive to and from.   ... View more

SteveNL, thank you for your Ebay comments.  I've not had much experience there, but will be wary in the future because of you.  I guess you always need to..."follow the money".   ... View more

Rob, no need to put an apology in the first part of your article.  Anyone who has crested 60 years of age and is still doing what you're doing deserves some grace.  Thanks for this very interesting article and what you do.  While many of us can sit here in our Coronavirus tinged places and shoot opinions over the interweb, you just get er done.  Thank you for your thoughtful words and intriguing storyline.   ...

Epic article.  Very well done and completely agree to the concept.  Mid-90's really were a sweet spot in the analog experience.  I know it's hard to pick just 4, but think I would have chosen the same vintage BMW M3 instead of the VW or Jag.  Just sayin'.   ... View more

My second car, behind a '68 Mustang Coupe, was a 1973 2600 Capri in a medium green color.  It was a blast to drive around in high school.  In fact, rummaging through some old photos the other day I came across a picture of it.  Brought back a flood of memories.  This car is well done!!! ...

My son caught the car bug from me at an early age.  We started out with muscle cars, mainly Mustangs.  In fact, an '83 GT with a 5 speed was the enticement to make better grades.  He brought home straight A's in high school to have that car.     Anyway, now that he's grown with his own family, we share a love of Miata's.  I've had 4 now and sold a 2004 MSM to him that he's tastefully modified.  We work on it together, when he lets me, and we go on drives often together.  His mechanical abilities have far surpassed mine.  But the father/son thing is strong built on cars and trust.   ...
