There was a headhunter I knew who had the S8. The service bills in 18 months were more than I spent for a pristine, garage keept, 11 year old Miata with 34,000 miles on the odometer.

Sin? Not a sin? Doesn't matter. What does matter is that AAA says 40 million Americans will take to the roads on Thanksgiving weekend. If only 10 percent of us, just 4 million, consistently excede the speed limit by 20 mph, then they'll have to grant us amnesty. That's what I learned last night in 21st Century…

The 1961 Lincoln Continental. It was America's first unibody luxury sedan. An American V8, classic styling, and available with wood trim and as a convertible. This really was the statement car that flexed Detroit muscles. It was fit for presidents and potentates, right off the showroom floor.
What happens when your Land Wind breaks?
Close, but no cigar. Honda Hawk GT. They both were introduced at about the same time. Honda Hawk GT is all about handling. The single-sided swing arm was a first for an affordable motorcycle.
It's not as if the products wearing the Prius badge holler out "HEY IT'S SEXY TIME!" So yeah, I'm okay with this ugly-as-a-wild-pig's-butt. I sort of wish I could get one in New Jersey. God knows there's enough sewage treatment plants and trash heaps around here to harvest the hydrogen from.
It's another list, and once again, if one removes the "one-offs" and showcars from the list, it really comes down the wood, denim, fiberglass, and duroplast. Did anyone actually do genetic testing on the whale hide? I doubt it. Why would you believe those jokers? Don't you have any sense of journalistic integrity?
Yes. The MR2 has achieved "collectable" status. It was the first reasonably priced mid-engined car that everyman could afford to buy, maintain, and drive to work everyday. It's predecessors the Porsche 914 and the Fiat X1/9 did okay at this, considering the times and their respective parents, but the MR2 added in the…
No. We can't. Sorry. It's a classic. In fact, it's such a classic they've been making it for 25 years.
I know whatchya mean, except every time I go to a Miata gathering, and there's more than 40 of them there, mine's still the only one that's still original, and/or not beaten to death. And I don't think it took 30 years for the 240Z to be collectible.
And the cow goes "Moo."
No prob! It's really amazing to think that "corinthian leather" lasted that long. Buyers must have LOVED it.
Having a zillion cars on the same platform makes sense. It doesn't cost that much, relatively speaking. Something is going to stick. Fads come and go much more quickly these days than in the past. The Personal Luxury Car fad lasted from 1970 through 1983. How long is the hatchback luxury car going to last? Not much…
Whatever the excuse was for steel that Alfa-Romeo and Fiat used in their cars in the 1970s. http://www.classicandperformancecar.com/front_website/…

It was the Cordoba that first used "soft corinthian leather." Corinthian leather is a process, and as leather, it used to bind books.
Hey, I used that photo too!
Whatever that stuff was that they used to make Trabant bodies.
Does this mean we should go out and point lasers at them?
