Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web, not the internet. He was only 14 years old when that happened.

We?!? Did you work at BBN back in the 1960's?

That's odd - I don't know what word(s) I used above that caused a bleep to appear, but I know I didn't type any curse words!

I don't believe many SEMA attendees care about visiting the auto manufacturers. It's all about the aftermarket industry. Stopping by to see the current car models is just kind of a sideshow, or an excuse to rest your concrete-weary feet on their over-padded carpet. The manufacturers have figured out the return on investment for the **bleep** there.

No explanation needed by me. I never doubted Hagerty for a minute. I'm all too familiar with the state's [mis]handling of money.

I'm chuckling at how so many are pointing the finger at Hagerty. It's almost like they don't live in Michigan and aren't familiar with the government there. "The check is in the mail and you'll have it by March - we promise."

@rs6er It just dawned on me that you might be replying from within the web article. You have to go into the actual forum to use the editing tools when replying.

I can't believe they didn't include the most iconic car commercial of all time, with the tune that still sticks in people's heads 30 years later. Now, that's effective advertising. "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet."

I wonder if the owner of that one changed something in the suspension or the wheel/tire combination. They don't normally sit up like a 4x4.

A better comparison would have been cars that actually have some similarities in lines, like the original Porsche 924 and the RX-7. Or the Miata and the Lotus Elan. Oh wait - you actually did that article 4 years ago...

You should have replied, "Because they're not offering Rodney Butler's engine as a crate engine yet." Then walk away and leave them to their Googling...

It's absolute drivel. This article appears to be self-reflective and not indicative of the classic car community at all. Everyone can stop reading after this line, because it applies to 99% of the people reading the article: "There’s a chance that what I’m about to write doesn’t apply to you."

This post isn't actually about romance, but I thought it was a catchy title. It's actually about forum support, but there isn't a channel for that, so I'm posting in this general section. I just happened to notice that by default this forum displays dates in the European (day-month-year) format. If you would like to change it to the United Statesian format, just do this: Click on your avatar in the upper right corner and it will show you a drop-down menu. Click on "My Settings." On the next page, select the "Preferences" tab, then the "Display" tab. You will see that the display field has the European format: Simply change the setting to the United Statesian format: Lastly, click "Save" at the bottom of the page:

For those that aren't aware of the site, you can go to pure-gas.org to find sources of real gasoline in your area. https://www.pure-gas.org Marinas are usually a great source.

They are great photos, but from a photographer's standpoint, I wish he would back off on the color filters about 10%. It helps to improve the striking feeling invoked, but some of the photos are bordering on being photochops because of the amount of color modification.

Slabside Lincoln with a modern take. Maybe something akin to the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauder, but with straighter body panels.

I did chuckle a bit when I saw in the first paragraph that " five oft-criticized aspects" would be addressed, but then found that the two most-criticized aspects (the exterior and the interior) weren't.

When the famous Orphan Car Show in Ypsilanti opened up to foreign cars several years ago, someone brought a Russian car that was clearly a copy of the Volkswagen Beetle. I don't recall what make the Russian vehicle was, though.
