Exactly. I never figured out if my stepdad was trolling me with that.
If you weren’t around then, you can’t appreciate how tempting this car was. It was legitimately quick for the day, with a high level of luxury plus a the je ne sais quoi that simply being French brought to the table. It was quite a time for family sedans. The market was crowded with this Peugeot, Audi 5000 Turbo,…
Somebody tell Sam Rockwell it’s time to suit up.
Rennsport Reunion V in 2014. Watching countless historic (and recent) Porsche race cars hustling around Laguna Seca for a few days was a tremendous experience. These weren’t parade laps. Seeing the 962s in action again made me a little weak in the knees.
Even cooler: watching Bruce Canepa flog a 917 around the track.
I will always have a soft spot for this generation of Audi. A friend of my parents bought a 5000 Turbo when it first came out. He knew I was a car guy (or a car teen at that point, I guess), and I was a huge fan of the sensationally aerodynamic and modern 5000. Keep in mind, this is when we were just emerging from the…
Boros plays an interesting game. Harper purportedly prioritized years. My pet theory is the Dodgers got into the bidding (surely at Boros’ invitation) to force the Giants up into a range they didn’t like, pushing the Giants to reportedly offer a 12 year deal, which pushed the Phillies to offer a 13th year. Harper…
Indeed. This fellow is still waiting.
I wish some eager beaver MBA student, or a Big Three exec with an MBA gathering dust, would work on making a business case for a downmarket pickup. The obsession for the last twenty years, in the US at least, is more: more size, more features, more power, more money. Doesn’t this mean there is a now market that has…
A friend of mine was the Kronk animator. Warburton is apparently just as cool a guy as you would think.
Speaking as someone who has traveled this route countless times, one huge benefit of any sort of parallel-but-restricted-access roadway would be the absence of trucks. That corridor might as well be a railway for the high density of long-haul trucks on it, which effectively eliminate one of the two available lanes…
We were on a 787 last year and I thought it was pretty cool that we hit 700 mph. 801 is nuts. As it turns out, we hit that speed not far from where the Virgin flight went that fast. It’s nice to now know why.
It’s Decision II: he took his sweaters to the internet.
Um, really? (I feel like I must be missing a joke here, but) Thanks!
This article is shocking. It floored me, just shook me right to my core...
If it’s a Y2K glitch, I know some guys who can help you out with that.
Let the Audi go. Impound the kid.
Good job! Good effort!
