Aston Martin, 2010

911 Sport Classic

I know it's not craigslist, but this has to be one of the single weirdest listings I've ever seen.

@brandegee: Browse the RM catalogue for the Monterey auction. No shortage.

My Land Rover has the worst by far. It was an aftermarket addition for the North American export models, so it cramps the passenger footwell, the flimsy vents break instantly, the dial is inaccessible and not illuminated, it kills the power, and every time I go around a corner water sloshes out of it. Also, if it's…

What if her eyes were there, they in her head?

I'm sure this happens all the time when you're on the road - you manage to find someone who wants to go as fast as you. Nothing crazy, like 90 or so on the highway. So you match pace, drive the same speed, and swap back and forth with one car taking the lead every 5-10 miles. Some kind of invisible hoon telepathy…

This winter when I was unemployed I designed and built a 3 bay, 2 story 6-10 car barn for my parents, including wood, metal, and drafting shops, space for a lift, ports to wire in speakers throughout (to be controlled by an ipod), underfloor heating, hand built modular workbenches, painted a La-Z-Boy in Gulf Racing…

@UnlimitedRevs: If the picture above was taken during this fantasy moment, be warned: you are being driven by a frat boy coming back from the golf course in his Audi. Run.

I think being a gearhead is working in dangerous (read drunken) conditions on a car, having iron filings floating in your beer and losing fingernails like other people lose spare change.

I forget when van Gogh cut his eye off. When was that? Was it is eye? I can't remember, honestly. Funny joke, though.

It looks like Betelgeuse's ForFour.

Ooh, I can't WAIT for the electric commuter car they'll be coming out with next year!

People are taking not letting him in way too seriously. Lots of motorsport whining, people feeling passed over- who cares?

I'm glad somebody mentioned the elephant in the room. I really really want to like the Bentley. But I just don't. Same with the Morgan. Two homely children I'm struggling to not shun.

Some people like this, some people like the SSR, some people like the PT Cruiser and eat things with the word Cheez on them. I have just never met one!

I am going to have to hugely disagree that the Land Rover Discovery has gotten better. The visibility is worse, the electronics are fiddly and patronizing, it's more cramped inside, and looks terrible. I'll give you that the first gen Discos would tend to break constantly, but the Discovery II was the best of the line…

@boomchek: I feel exactly the same way. Ever since Bangle got involved I feel like the brand has been robbed of personality. I just don't want one anymore, though I respect them hugely. The last BMW I really loved was the E38 7 Series with a manual V-12. I still want one, actually.

My grandparents still own their powder blue 1975 Ford Econoline Van which they bought new. Aging much less well than them is the blue and white shagpile carpets (floors, walls and ceiling), the beige collapsed swivelling captain's chair, the pervasive smell of damp, dog, and spam, the red and white vinyl bullseye tire…

Audi Quattro. Hands down.
