It’s kind of ugly, that’s why.

But what the Porsche, Ferrari, and McLaren don’t have is an undefined cool. I can see three 911 Turbo S a week, the Ferrari is a fragile piece of pretension, and McLaren managed to make a boring-looking mid-engine supercar with the Artura.

Cool, for some reason I thought the Lotus Carlton was a 2001, apparently I'm getting old and forgetful. 

This is not exactly right. Just because the year changed, it doesn’t mean everything thing built in 1999 can come in right now. The law clearly states 25 years from the date of manufacture. So, a car built in June of 1999 can come in legally in June of 2024 and so on.
I have imported 7 cars from Europe. Trust me when I…

“They Can’t All Be Winners” would be a brilliant title for that.

Al Holbert’s life story. Winning in IMSA and Le Mans. No fake crashes or fake physics.

They did a documentary, but a full movie on Michèle Mouton would be interesting and probably spark more women’s interest in the sport.

The lost Shelby Daytona Coupe (CSX2287) that was found buried in garage around 2001. Its got it all. Crazy story that involed Carroll himself, Phil Spector, shady deals and a questionable suicide.

Was also going to respond about this too... the Evora is no Esprit when it comes to maintenance misery. You could do a LOT worse for a high-strung supercar, as far as gremlins go.  It’s got a fucking Camry engine, FFS.

I did own this Evora S...for awhile. It was the scariest 8 months of vehicle ownership to date. I’ve never thought a vehicle could actively try to murder my savings, but this one might’ve if I’d kept it. Thought maybe I’d be lucky to escape the “lots of trouble, usually serious” by picking one up with low miles, but…

Does this mean the FBI agents riding the bus are known as ghost bus-ters?

I know it is unkind to gloat, but I’m an Ohioan and GODDAMN does this feel good tonight. Republicans in Ohio have had their boots on the necks of us women for far to long, and it has been excruciating listening to their whinging for the past few months about how “extreme” and “radical” it is to ensure that women can…

Robert Kearns being screwed over by ford for his invention of the intermittent windshield wipers. Flash of genius was the movie about it IIRC

“childbearing age”

Have not validated, but someone over on Cars & Bids mentioned the deposit on the higher specs was non-refundable, so possibly not a ‘buy & flip’ so much as a “deposit, wait, change mind, buy something else and/or have financial changes, and sell to recover cost.”

among the most pro-labor Republicans in the U.S. Senate

Great answer - this thing still looks fresh today 

Holy Shit, it is Rodimus Prime.

They need to bring back COTD.
