A 900 HP rental car….now there’s a recipe for disaster. Cool stuff though. If I were there and could afford it, count me in. A German Scout…..I want an article about this vehicle.

I’m conflicted as to how I feel about this one…. On one hand, I’m glad it’s doing what it was built to do. If I were there, I’d have been glad to see it back at it again. On the other, it’s a one-of-a-kind, 2 million dollar, custom built, irreplaceable, historically significant vehicle. It would be a shame if it were wasting away in a museum but on the same token, a shame that it was driven by such a poor driver. I guess guys buy million dollar Shelby cobras and SCCA race them too. Perhaps it’s one of those “more dollars than sense” situations. ... View more

Cool car. I was in Phoenix the other day and saw a Lambo driving around and thought, damn what a stunning automobile. They are truly a car that’s like no other. Exhaust and wheels get swapped and cars get “tatty” as the English would say but what I want to know is how the special carbon fiber luggage got separated from its 40th anniversary special edition $5$$,000 counterpart. That’s the real question. It’s like the tool satchel in a Ferrari. They’re never supposed to leave the vehicle. They add a ton of value. ... View more

I own fully restored cars, restomodded cars and I build rat rods. Here’s my opinion…take it or leave it. Get it running, driving safely, clean up the interior/exterior, lose the wing and leave the body(as unpopular as it seems to be here). A good resto shop will have it for two years and will cost a fortune. That’s two years of paying to wait to drive a car that was once original. With wait times for parts and backlogs of cars waiting to get restored, 2 years is probably unrealistic. It’s easy to say “Get that body fixed!” “That car deserves it!”…when your wallet is firmly in your pocket. This reminds me of Seinfelds Porsche and the Bullitt among countless others that remain in mostly original condition. Let the next guy buy it from you for four times what you paid after you enjoy it for 30 years and let him fork over $100,00 for body work. Beautiful car. I say leave it. “Good work ain’t cheap and cheap work ain’t good” -Sailor Jerry ... View more

I live in Kansas and have had to do this many times. The only time you need to get a KHP VIN inspection is when you purchase a vehicle with an out of state title or the title is missing. This guys mistake was getting this car restored before having the VIN inspected and titled. I get my dilapidated vehicles inspected and the KS title before restoration for that very reason. During resto the VIN can be removed for painting purposes and reapplied afterwards…although for extra caution, I typically tell my resto guy in Iola, KS to leave it and paint around it. Doing your homework before buying a car out of state is important. And Kyle, our governor’s name is “Laura” Kelly…weren’t you a Bulldog?…or am I wrong? ... View more

Another fantastic customer appreciation article by Sajeev…. I love you, man…I really do. My wife and I drove away from Po’ipu beach in a red two door rental Jeep hard top convertible. Thanks to our family and friends, the doors, fenders, quarters, lights, hood and glass were graffiti(ed) in white shoe polish. The shoe polish baked in the sun for two weeks and wouldn’t come off…luckily when we returned it, they weren’t upset. It would have been pricey to have it removed.  We had fun driving around the island in a red jeep with white graffiti. You couldn’t miss us. Sorry no photo….I’ll work on it.  Aloha Sajeev ...

I love it. A car and society of that stature is a perfect experiment. The guy can keep it running, that’s a fact. The issue is the governmental control. I have a question for the author. You say the judge fined him because he “feared” [he] would drive it at night. Fining someone out of fear for something they’ve not yet done is not only immoral, it’s illegal. Tell us more about this statement. Is this true? And why is it illegal for him to drive the vehicle at night? Great article. I love it. ... View more

I was on a skiing trip with my family 8 years ago at a rental house on Copper Mountain. I was sitting on the toilet checking the Mecum results for a little car I’d fallen in love with called a 246 GTS. It was silver over red and sold for $190,000…..what a deal back then. Love those cars. They’re the best looking car Ferrari ever made(or didn’t make, depending on your POV)…unfortunately, they’re somewhat unattainable for the average RedRyder. ... View more

They’ll sell like hotcakes to those who can afford them. Has Ferrari sold out?….maybe….but they’re making a good business decision. Perhaps it will dilute the brand name somewhat but the Ferrari missteps of the past haven’t seemed to diminish their desirability. Ask yourself if you think any less of a Porsche 911 because of their entrance into the SUV market. They’re diversifying their portfolio like everyone with some smarts. I have a friend who has purchased a few new Ferraris. He has plenty of excess capital. Ferrari called him a few months ago unsolicited asking if he would buy a car that wasn’t reserved. He hasn’t purchased enough of their cars to warrant the Ferrari nod but apparently they needed to sell it. It’s being built now. Perhaps they’re in need of money…and the _UV is the way of things at the moment. ... View more

I honestly don’t know how people could buy a car without actually seeing it or having a thorough inspection. “Carvana”...”we invented buying a car completely online”...that is crazy.

For you guys dogging the Bronco Sport, I encourage you to drive one. We ordered a “proper” Bronco and in the mean time bought a Bronco Sport to get through the winter and trade in once Ford got their butts in gear on the one we ordered. No, it’s not a “real” Bronco but it’s really nice. My wife gets 29 mpg with the small 4cyl. It’s looks relatively cool in “Area 51” paint and is convenient. Carries the kid, groceries and did well in the snow. No complaints. Now, as for powertrains...give me a V8. As far as I’m concerned, you can put the battery powered crap where the sun don’t shine and if you want to compete with Wrangler...give me a V8. ... View more

“Everyone has a cobra”...I don’t think so.  The Cobra(Factory Five Mk4), hands down the best. The ease of build because of the instruction manual is second to none as well as the parts and build support. I built one of these and put a Coyote in it. I had only done brakes and oil changes before I built it. If Dave Smith were here, I’d hug him.  Although, if you want an instruction-less kit to be proud of, build a rat rod. You won’t hear the “Is it real?” question from people who have no idea how much hard work you put into building your “kit”. The FFR gave me the confidence to build the rat. Whatever you choose, build what you’ll love to drive and you’ll be proud of. ... View more

I’ve got a blue Ford oval tattooed on my heart and I’ll say this...good job, GM. “Flaws”?... You’re all splitting hairs here. They built a car with the street, race track and idiot drivers in mind.

As for the “All Season Tires”...if you can afford $72k, you can afford better, different tires.  Being a traditionalist, I was disappointed with the outward appearance being too super car-Lambo-ish for my taste. I know, I know...it’s a mid-engine...but still give me some good old styling cues.  These cars have been around forever and I hope they’ll be around for much longer.

“Mustangs are awful” “Camaros are superior”....I’m laughing.

The author is the lone camaro parading by an ocean of Mustangs at a show on a Saturday in June. With arguments that don’t hold water, harkening back to a day 35 years ago when the Camaro(Whatever that word means) was performing better and a Phoenix that never rose from the ashes. Go for it, hang your hat on that tiny hook, Bumblebee and a dead bird if you like.    Comparing Don Yenko to the likes of Carroll Shelby, Steve McQueen, Steve Saleen, Jack Roush, Chip Foose....again, laughable. McKeel approved this?...really?   As far as “externalities”...one cannot “evolve” without external forces. The author’s words. Being a scientist and gear head, the correct terminology for Chevy’s (caught with their pants down) car, would be “clone”.   The author snidely quips “pricey one-offs”. The name of the article is “25 Best Mustangs”, right? What was the expectation here?   Hey Ol’ Dave, you’re going to have to come up with better arguments than those...good luck. Until then, I’ll hang my hat on the aforementioned automotive titans, millions and millions of production numbers, heritage, legacy, mustang club numbers, racing pedigree, countless tv and movie appearances, staggering auction prices, race car drivers, a 50th ann’y badge that means something, Eleanor, Wick, Sean Kiernan and yes, Bond.    In the meantime, try slamming your other thumb in the door of a Yugo(see if it feels as “democratic” as a Camaro) and get to that ‘thank you’ email to the late Lee Iacocca.   Taillights, indeed...Tri-bar taillights.  ...
