Spitfires and Fiat 124s have always been an irrational weakness of mine. If this was in the PNW I’d probably be googling a comfortable way to sleep in a Triumph Spitfire, because I’d have to for at least a month. 

You scruffy looking nerf herder! 

Back in my early 20's a buddy built a 78 Bronco with a 429 that needed 110 octane fuel to keep from detonating. I was there for the initial open header startup and it was glorious! Another buddy who lived about a mile and a half away called about 15 seconds after he shut it down and said “Was that the fuckin’…

That’s probably Japanese market specific. Rich guys over there don’t care much for settling into a hot leather seat in August. 

I don’t know if you could say that, Trump kicked off his presidency with insulting Kim and promising fire and fury. If anyone would sit at the table with the Iranians in the last 40 years it would probably be the Donald. Now, whether or not these meetings would bear any fruit but photo ops for each side......

It’s a shame everyone at GM that knew how to design a good looking car left ten years ago.

This would have been absolute fire when Need For Speed Underground first came out!

It’s aiming at people who were kids when the late C3's were new. I’ve thought about finding a bubble back C3 for a project. When I was a pretty young kid my cousin had an 82 that looked like a spaceship compared to the Camaros, Mustangs, and family cars of the world in the mid eighties. Without that nostalgia I can…

To be fair, anytime you hear about an old white guy living in Thailand you probably don’t first think he must be a scuba diving enthusiast. 

Much better, thank you. 

So a two minute and twenty five second video showing fifteen seconds of carnage, then two minutes and ten seconds of artfully framed asphalt and sidewalk? 

It’s just political grandstanding. California is deeply liberal, so its an easy target to stir up their base on the right. Its kind of how when Trump went after vaping I started seeing deeply liberal people expressing outrage on social media, even though when Jay Inslee looked at banning them in Washington those same…

Which ZR-1 are you referring to? The 1990 had 375, then bumped up to 405 in later years, even the C3 versions had more than 325.

My Calvin pisses on bowties! CP for me. The price isn’t bad, but the dimensions are off, off enough to spot from a block away. If I was going to have a Cobra replica I’d rather spend the extra money to have one that looks right. I’d want one I built myself as well. 

A good movie that kind of delves into this subject is called Pentagon Wars, about the development of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. These companies will get the contract to build a plane, or vehicle, and as they are doing the R&D the customer calls, and says, by the way, I want it to do this, that, and the other too.…

I’ve always liked the DB7, but if I was going to buy one I’d be picky. It would have to be silver or British racing green, and I’d want the regular ol straight six. 

I drive a 60 series, which is a tractor with an SUV body, and I love it. I think the 70 series would be right up my alley.

Kind of a weird flex for Bugatti mentioning Nevada when they won’t let anyone else run on their glass smooth test track designed specifically for top speed runs. Watching the in car videos of the two runs it’s pretty clear which run was more difficult to pull off. 

I’d do an Earth Roamer on a Ford Super Duty. The Super Duty is pretty reliable, and having a bed and kitchen would be pretty nice.
