Attention parkour hipsters of Seattle: If you jump on my Abarth I will cut you. Does someone make anti-parkour spray?

I wish Bristol the best in their rebirth. I’ve always admired them for being among the last of the small car companies born after WW2 still in existence.

Hmm... You and I have different experiences. Granted, I have a short commute (7 miles) and a commuter Abarth for rainy or too cold days.

Sounds like an awesome manifesto. Really, i’m happy with where the Jalop is headed. I’ve been here forever and really like the weird stuff (Torch is Murillee reincarnate) as well as the adventures we’ll read from Siler.

Yeah, advancing middle age has me thinking about adding seat heaters.

We have lots of overcast days, many without any actual rain. Some of our roads are crappy, but most are fine. I’m able to avoid most potholes. Seattle has a “pothole Rangers” squad with a reporting app that I use for problem areas around my house, they get fixed pretty quickly.

My two sports cars have fairly…

We have lots of grey days with little actual rain, those days are my favorites for dropping the top. Just crank the heat and enjoy.

Great video! Shot in Seattle, the best place I’ve lived for owning sports cars. Seriously, you need a convertible if you live here. I drive topless year ‘round.

I’d love to see more high speed rail infrastructure, especially on the West Coast. Riding the train from Seattle to Portland is an interminable slog, slower than driving through bad traffic days.

My 500 Abarth allows people to open the hatch while the car is running. My wife and I perform the complex “car idling through stuff in the back” routine almost daily and have never had an instance of not being able to open the hatch.

Hmm... Free market anyone?

Robb, you're there racing this weekend, right? Any insight into what happened? Did the GT-R miss a braking point? Tragedy that spectators are involved.

The clarity is beachballs.

Well that's pretty damn handy. For a Jalop like myself, I'm looking for a more age appropriate, but fun car to supplement the 500 Abarth (I'm a middle aged guy). Pity there probably won't be an overview of the merits and cautions of buying a W126 for daily use.

Thanks for sharing this footage, it's great. I've been wanting to go to both the Members' Meeting and the Festival of Speed for years. I'm thinking I should actually start planning a trip (and determine how I can get tickets). Perhaps get a group of my friends together and enjoy arguing the merits of our various…

That's a strong price. These aren't "ultra rare" in the least. I see them often street parked in Seattle. The seller is marketing this one a bit too poshly. The earliest 1800 bodies (the little coupe like The Saint drove) were built by Jensen in the UK, these ESes were built in Sweden.

[slow clap]

The want is strong for this one.

The new manly, largehuge Honda Ridgeline is endorsed by:

What he said. The Land Cruiser is the best vehicle in the world. If you get a chance, check out the mileage and condition of a sampling of Land Cruisers. You'll find them in great shape with 100s of thousands of miles on them.
