Another great read from Kyle. Keep up the good work.    Hey Kyle, when are you going to trailer one of your rides to the car show at The Mac? I participated last year with my Hagerty insured vehicle. Great event.  ... 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. Tall order building a streetable race car for dummies. Pretty good compromise for $72K methinks. 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. They’re an American Classic, an icon and a symbol and cornerstone of our automotive history.  Tip o’ the hat  ... View more

Great article. I was unaware of the Couple-Gear Freight Company. Cool stuff.   The Scout guy in me questioning the cubes in the Safari...correct me if I’m wrong but IH never made a 395...perhaps 345ci? ... View more

I too am an automotive masochist. It’s nice to know there are others out there, lots of them apparently. Unless it’s for daily commuting, I never buy anything that doesn’t need “a little TLC”. CL and FB are treasure troves for projects and it’s addictive. When I’m driving, I find myself slowing down to see what’s in people’s fields, behind the garage and under that tarp. I’ve even taken to Google maps to see what the cars are stored in my neighbors back 40.  Somewhere out there is another broken car that needs me.  I’m guilty...just like the rest of you.  ...

I introduced my 8 year old son to this show on AmazonPrime and he can’t get enough. Honest to God, I woke up to the theme song this morning when he turned it on. After season 7, we segwayed from The Dukes to the Knight. He loves it and as a kid, I did too. Another iconic TV vehicle. It’s not the fastest of cars or best looking but you can’t beat icons from the screen(big or small). I want the one with the hinged T-tops and ejector seats.  Nice article.  ... View more

“Mustangs are awful” “Camaros are superior”....I’m laughing. Baseless, unsubstantiated and childish.  Mustang made the cover of the magazine the author works for and paid the author’s bills this month. He can email Ford and thank them later.    The author is the typical Chevy kid...SMH. The spiteful outcast with the “oh yeah!, well...” childish attitude. There’s one at every party. 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.  ...

Nice list of supercars. Good article. Some well known and some unknown to myself. Along the same lines, let us not forget the “Fastest car you can build in your own garage”, the Factory Five GTM. Yes, for the DIY type and for a fraction of the price of any of these you can have the speed, looks and pride of having built it yourself.  ... View more

When you go to look at that beauty you’ve been eyeing on FB or CL, take someone who knows about cars. This someone should be a trusted individual who will tell you the truth about what he/she sees. Or send the advertisement to your mechanic brother-in-law and ask him his opinion. Having a second opinion will help you immensely and probably save you money and frustration.  ... View more

I’m a Ford guy. Bronco and Mustang are great and successful name plates. But I will say that Mako Shark vette was a cool car. That blue paint and slick body work was  unforgettable...and the name is unique.  ... View more
