A brand-new car featuring a "stick" and a twin-turbo gas engine is SO welcome by real "car guys" who want to control our motions and feel integrated in the "mech-inations" ... View more

EVERYBODY knows about using a turkey baster to transfer battery water, etc. ALSO, a repurposed enema bag or c**k pump can transfer automotive fluids in a pinch... lol ... View more

Looks fantastic!!! Not outrageous just righteous!! And I remember chiding my buddy in high school who owned and drove the original Corvette Summer cars to school!!! Now THOSE were awful!!! ... View more

When I was in the "Grey Market" in the 80's (when I was in High school) we used to rip from Newport Beach, Cali to LAX in a Grand Wagoneer to pick up 500Sl's and ferraris we had flown in from Europe. The Wagoneer was the thirstiest vehicle I ever encountered, and literally spewed unburned fuel out the exhaust!!! Very comfy SUV, but poorly engineered fuel system... ... View more

I was friends with John Von Neumann, the original importer of porsche and VW to the US! He established the first dealership called Competition Motors in Hollywood. John explained to me at my Carwash in Palm Springs, Ca. how he sold and handed the keys to the ill-fated Porsche Spyder to Dean. Dean had "Little **bleep**" lettered on the back of his Spyder after being given the nickname for his aggressive driving style... Dean was said to have a secret that could have harmed his movie career at that time in history. Interesting how the passenger survived the crash yet received little publicity. Von Neumann was a fascinating, important character in the history of the sports car business and racing ( he drove for Enzo Ferrari after starting out as a mechanic) He became fabulously wealthy and eccentric, and also had the worlds fastest yacht, which was transported across the sea floating inside a cargo ship, for his use internationally. The yacht was powered by multiple Rolls Royce engines ... View more

It's unfortunate that someone discovered the "vinyl top" from a longevity standpoint. whether you like the look, the dampness that is destined to collect underneath is really a cancer death knell. Almost the same issue with "T-tops". They leak over time and cause corrosion. I have a '78 T/A 400 4spd and I found one without the T-Top.  The Gran Prix is wonderful and a great driver I'm sure... ... View more

Whatta Stud!!! NOT the car, lol Love the primitive driving scene.... Connery HAS and HAD it all.... The Aston upgrade was certainly appropriate!!! ... View more

True adventurists!!! what style! What hemorrhoids!! I did the 66 in a supercharged Pontiac Bonneville... Less style, comfy rear and A/C!!!! ... View more

I have a '78 T/A 400 4spd. that I love. It's underpowered, handles poorly compared to today's ANYTHING and usually they rattle to beat the band! Mine does not rattle and I don't beat it up like they ALL were... It has swagger for miles and sounds and looks great! I advise against "T-Tops" as they frequently leak, and were not factory installed and cause body twisting action because of the weakened structure. A bulletproof and reliable car that I lusted after in high school...  The "Macho" series were impressive in their improved swagger and at that period in time, "Macho" did not have the unfortunate connotation (especially in Mexico) that it has now.... All in all, an iconic fun to drive engaging pony car... ... View more

I used to rent these Mark's from Hertz and Budget and they were such comfortable and mildly sporty rides... The LSC with a moonroof is a winner... Not many are left in nice shape as they seemed to live outdoors and the interiors suffer. The fuelie 5.0 is a winner in terms of decent performance with okay fuel mileage... ... View more

We bought these cars cheap back in the day, beat 'em, jumped 'em and then blew up the engines... Ahh... the good 'ol daze!! ... View more

Nice but that monochromatic black interior would be right at home in a Saturn Sky or similar... The steering wheel is a large blob... The paint scheme is very flattering... ... View more

These behemoths are well-made and hold up well. With the incredible depreciation and similar attributes of earlier versions, why would folks be foolish enough to spend tens of thousands extra when the new model is INSTANTLY used....  ... View more

Hi!  The Rolls Silver Shadows of the late 60's to the early 80's are also pretty and cheap.............to buy! To own a "Roller" in the OLD days cost about $10,000 a year to maintain and repair...  The old Brit's and German cars are fussy and expensive to operate... gracias pero NO!!! ... View more

I was told the  928 engine was shared with the then Mercedes SL! An unusual and interesting classic that has costly parts and service, all proprietary bits...$$$$$ ... View more

There's no accounting for taste... this is a tragedy for these poor folks and I'm genuinely sorry. However, count me out on a "go fund me" to support a real mediocre automobile... I was in the car business at one point and I thought the driving dynamic of these cars was horrible... and I love Pontiacs including my '78 Trans Am.... ... View more

The second-gen  Autopia cars were SO fun to try to derail.... and also to hold the brake and get rear-ended or vice-versa... A real dream to drive like you can't outside the Happiest Place on earth!!! ... View more

As a lifelong "Car Guy" I probably rolled my eyes at the TV series featuring one of the lowest horsepower and least attractive of GM's "F" bodies... After the success and great stuntwork of the Burt Reynolds era, and the SILLYNESS of the premise of this TV series, I hope someone enjoys this overpriced, underperforming ride.... ... View more

I feel warm and fuzzy now!! Good thing this car is a stick so it won't have the automatic shifter used for like 50 years at Ford, even in the pinto.... Do the Mustang and the Pinto share chassis?  ... View more

To me, these first-gen Broncos are tiny inside and a short wheelbase, much like an oversized Samurai... I don't get the attraction at all... The Blazers on the other hand had useful space and a better more  stable footprint... ... View more

Pick up a used Gallardo! I had a 5 year affair with an Arancia Borealis (Orange) Spider... One HOT love affair.... Final cost of 1000 miles travelled $70 PER MILE!!! And I bought her used! Would not change a thing!!! A "Carguy" BIG O for sure!!!! ... View more
