Peter, don't go all educational on us. Yes, Bristols are some of the greatest creations on wheels. Part of their appeal comes from their utter lack of ubiquity. When I am finally able to acquire a Bristol, I do not want to see them coming and going and doing burnouts down by the Dairy Queen.

@UDMan: I remember that very well. LJK was one of the clear voices saying "No, really." at the time.

Wow, this driver was so bad as to deserve being plural in the story copy.

She sped through a construction zone, endangering the lives of the workers, and then put the police officer in the dangerous position of being between her and the speeding traffic. She then goes on national television to crow about being given $40k (+ whatever she received to sit down in studio with Matt Lauer). …

@louie95340: Very cool when we get the back story of DOTS cars. These Capris used to be all over the place, nearly reaching Nova levels of ubiquity. I swear I drag raced this car's twin down the 4 lane boulevard leading to Alameda NAS back in the day.

Angry Concussed Owl: the ultimate car protection device.

I'm stunned that we'll actually get the Sports Suspension package here in the land of lard. Were I new car shopping, I'd add this to the list. I think the Sport-equipped cars should get an "S" in the middle of the badge.

Rare is the car that looks this good from below. The video needs an NSFW tag. The dragons are jumping up and down, bent over, with crossed legs looking up at that thing.

I could see spending up to $50k, but it would have to be something really worthwhile, like a 997S, or perhaps a 355. Our next "car" car, will likely be in the $20k range and will likely be something of the BMW or Cadillac flavor.

@Al Navarro: If I were a rich man, I'd pony up the dosh to have "Peniston Oils" and "Larsen's Biscuits" emblazoned on it n perpetuity.

I must own a Lancia Delta Integrale at some time in my life. Or a 037. I can only dream of owning a Stratos; that's job one after getting run over by Bill Gates.

That's not just any Escort, it's a rare AMG Escort. I'm amazed at the execution of this contraption, I bet it gets decent mileage too.

This literally brings a tear to my eye. I was watching on TV when the wreck happened and was in a daze for the next week.

@TriumphRacer: The same stock pink Escort that ripped up the Novice on straight time class in my first year of autocrossing? That car's color was a mark of pride. What does it say about me that I now drive a Miata?

It breaks my heart to click "Crack Pipe" on this one. I had a Red over ick '86 Yugo and absolutely loved it. I put wide tires on it and learned to love the fun to be had from speed maintenance. This was my introduction to the lifeline joy of driving a slow car fast.

@mytdawg: Well said.

@something_unique_and_descripti...: Exactly! This could make for a more environmentally friendly anti-lag system.

Interesting... Forget about throwing it on a V6 or V8, where it would need to be prohibitively large, and throw this on a Miata.

@Goingincirclez: Heart clicky for a wonderful treatise on the risk of driving angry.

Grazie Mille, signore Zagato.
