Crackheads apparently don't do very thorough paint preparation.

I wonder if all these exotics are falling off trucks because they can't be sold. The new Ferrari Maserati dealer in La Jolla has so much inventory that they've rented an adjacent building to fill it with 430s. When things were good, the only stock they ever had consisted of Maseratis and maybe a 612 or the 456 before…

This is the best thing that can happen for Toyota at this point. Had their customers switched to Honda or Mazda, they'd never come back. GM ownership will see them running back to the Toyota dealers as soon as financing permits.

I know where there is a Peugeot 405 wagon sitting in a service station's lot in Le Mons suitable condition if anyone wants a sure shot at being a losing IOE contender.

@P161911 probably shoudn't have: I'd argue for the Mach 1, but I could swear it was just a tape stripe package. The 1979 Camaro and 1970 Z-28 should both be included to demonstrate just what a disaster government involvement in the auto industry during the 1970s really produced.

2007 Camry in Le Mons FTW.

Painting over the bedliner is an idea right up there with painting your lawn orange.

Ford is Detroit's best hope.

This dealer doesn't even want people to expect a fair deal. Otherwise they'd have reached for their checkbook and offered him $3,500 to cover his expenses. They didn't want the precedent of someone getting treated close to fairly on the internet, which would have raised the expectations of their other victims. Maybe…

I think the Corvette-aficionados understand the market better. Look at Porsche. The buyers of cars in this class all love short attention span theater. They need a new article every month in every magazine announcing a new trim badge to reassure them that they're buying the latest thing. Corvette sales may be in the…

@jedchev: I must concede that the man is ridiculous, particularly in his defense of Chris Bangle. I've seen Cumberford credited with the '56 Corvette though. If that is correct, then I understand why he didn't like being assigned to spackle on the gingerbread as the years went by.

@Bedheadjc: I'd rather have a '58 Corvette than no Corvette. That being said, the '56 & '57 were lighter and more aerodynamic due to not having quad headlights. My neighbor had a black '58 in his driveway when I was a kid, and I loved it. I still don't think that adding ornamentation from year to year and making more…

@Rexter: That's exactly what I was thinking. Mind you I was also worried about what it says that I wasted 3 and a half minutes watching a video posted by some no life loser with cat issues.

It turns out that a dealership that initially didn't want to honor a contract really is rotten to the core. Not too surprising.

@Potatosw✭tter: They centrally planned their economy. They rewrote their nations' history to reflect their current ambitions. Progressives are the very definition of intolerant of alternative perspectives, and they didn't find the Nazi's any different than their own at the time. There is historical film footage…

@Alfisted: Are you serious? The guy that had to graft quad headlights on the Corvette complained about his assignment for years and begged forgiveness afterwards. I think it was Robert Cumberford. Whoever it was, every time he was asked about his time at GM, he would lament the bastardization of the Corvette in 1958,…

@BullittFan_Førds4Life: Reløaded: You mean you got punked. Progressives believe that by changing history they can dictate the future. Their disavowing the nazis and rehabilitating the equally vile communists is their greatest achievement. It all starts with 'education.' Teach people what to think, not how to think.…

@RacinG73: Good point about the BGP 001, but Autosport is reporting that only the paint scheme was rolled out today, using the 2009 Brawn. The 2010 car will be called the MGP W01, and won't be seen until the first test.

Seems to me that the RB1 was the car that Button won the WDC in. The new W01 that Schumacher will win the 2010 title in hasn't been seen publicly yet.

@Sam: You're very patient, but I'm not into Lexus clones with scraper rims, even when they don't have the silliest rear fender treatment yet imageined. It all makes me rather sad. I used to be a member of the cult of the silver arrows back when engineering was their be all and end all.
