He's a pro that made a living based on his ability to judge what he was looking at during forfeited storage unit auctions. A&E played games where he was the loser to satisfy their audience of underdog champions. He still made money based on the $25K a show fee he was paid for being the dupe, but he wasn't comfortable…

A friend of mine bought a nice Milano. It was meant to be his primary car, but he wound up driving the Horizon he'd bought as an emergency replacement for a car he'd wrecked. This was back in 1995. I don't know if the passage of 17 years has made them any more reliable. If you want a Milano and the point is to have a…

As far as I'm concerned, any car that doesn't have a manual transmission is just a utilitarian object. Ferrari will make custom bodied cars for their customers, but their customers don't require them to offer a manual transmission option. Seems like the customers might be the problem.

Took a while to accept the loss, but it was over when BMW shit this one out.

You're regurgitating the revisionism of others. The red of the unions is the same red as that of communists everywhere. Even the term redneck comes from the red bandanas worn by organized miners a hundred years ago. The flags of National Socialists had red backgrounds for the same reason.

Sadly, the high cost of repairs probably will total this NSX. OTOH, it doesn't look like a hard enough hit to even tweak the alignment settings on these RIGID cars. This car may have a future as a track day special. NSX LeMons?

I was thinking about what my answer to this question would be, and my Festiva didn't even come to mind. Of course I know just how safe it really was, having T-boned a 4-door Chevy hard enough to spin it around and punt it into a parking lot, having hit a deer hard enough to pull the frame stubs in from the sides, and…

Maybe the car's owner knew the Prospector was on her trail, so she tried to disguise her car by covering the plate numbers.

Speed bumps are the equivalent of chemical castration for every man that lives in a town because one resident slapped his wife.

I totally see the XK-RS - jowly man parallels, but using Cage is an example of a jowly man doesn't seem fair to him.

The 219,000 miles are a bit of a mystery. That's the combined mileage of all the 100LSs I've seen sitting broken in driveways through the years. Whenever one shows up on BaT, the horror stories of former owners are depressing. They had some designed-in maintenance headaches, but the overall quality was at least as big…

It's worse than that. Ford Motor Company was founded ten years before Gerald Ford was born.

The last straw.

In the late '80s, there was a guy named Oliver in my hometown that was restoring Italian cars to capitalize on the crazy price run-up around Enzo's death. He had a few big ticket Ferraris from the '60s, but he was really looking to corner the market on Lamborghinis and Maseratis. IIRC, he told me that he had over 20…

I like the others too, but you win.

I saw a girl last night with a tramp stamp that spelled out 'mistake.' Because redundant.

That's a great idea in concept, but I'd be horrified to see what that would do to the infotainment center and already frail electrical system of the car. I'm happy now any time a trip is completed without a warning message about a malfunctioning sensor. I'd hate to shock the system by disconnecting the battery. That…

I thought the 8 speed was great on the test drive. Either wear is an immediate issue that makes shifts feel like crap, or the default computer settings Audi puts in are great and then the transmission 'learns' to piss you off from observing your driving habits. I share the car, and we often loan it to guests, so I…

You know the 8-speed is a pile of horsecrap. I know that the 8-speed is a pile of horsecrap. Why do reviewers always act like it is the highest expression of torque management? What the heck? It has two modes. In drive, it is always in so high a gear that it stumbles and lurches when I want to pick up speed. In sport…

This is just one of those things we're going to disagree on. I'd take an ugly car with a manual over a good looking one with an automatic any day of the week. Some people probably think I already do, considering I've been driving my 2007 Civic Si sedan while loaning my company car 2012 Audi A6 to my visiting,…
