I spent almost 2 million to design develop and deploy garageomatic.com, a solution that allows mechanics and restoration specialists to document their knowledge via video, photos, documentation and other means, then make that knowledge available to the consumer enthusiast free or at a charge at the mechanics discretion. The idea was to preserve the knowledge, reward the mechanic for their knowledge and help the classic car community by preserving the procedures in a well documented format complete with required and optional parts and tool lists (and links to buy the parts). Bottom line, the consumer enthusiast does not care and expects 20, 30, 40 or more years of experience to be handed over for free on YouTube. Never mind the massive costs associated with producing high quality content that covers complex procedures and research, or even making the platform. It's a real shame it's like this but this is the reality. We are moving in a direction to completely drop the enthusiast and focus our efforts on providing the solution free of charge to repair shops. ... View more

No, no no.... why are you including the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow in this list.  I own four of these and you insure all four of them. Any Shadow for $8000 is not worth owning.   You are absolutely misleading your readers with this particular car, I know because I keep four of them on the road. You absolutely must be mechanically inclined, have a shop with all the proper tools, otherwise you will have to utilize a Rolls-Royce specialist which can be up to $150 or more an hour.  These cars, if not properly maintained, can be death traps because of the non-standard braking system. I think you should remove this car from the list.  Articles like this are precisely the reason why these cars have not appreciated where they should be because they give people the idea that it’s simple, easy and cheap to drive a Rolls-Royce. They buy the darn thing, then can’t afford to maintain it and then guys like me have to go behind them and clean up the mess or worse yet they end up in junk yards. Honestly, I wish you would just stop writing about these cars. One final thought, referring to this as a mass produced car is laughable, production run of 16,000 units I mean, Toyota makes that in one day ... View more
