Who the hell would have to be "forced" to drive any of those. Throw me the keys, baby! That's all the arm twisting you'll need to do with me.

As a huge fan of historic Fords, I have to say, this one is comically cute. I'd have one just to remind myself to have a sense of humor.

For some reason I read the name as Marco and the quote as Father Guido Sarducci

Love the tricolori buttons.

I like Wankels. I don't particularly like bugs but can be brought on board for the right one. I like this idea, but this example is way to rough for the money.

From the days before supercars were called supercars, many of the Supercharged Duesenburg Model J cars could qualify, but in particular the Mormon Meteor. A 320 hp Duesy that did the one-hour turnaround with an average over 152 mph at Benneville in 1935. Ultra rare and ultra expensive, even when new.

The jaguar XKSS. One of the most aggressively beautiful cars ever made. And, quite bat-shit insane for the day; an early example of a race car turned road car.

It's NASCAR. He was probably sleeping.

Most of the tires wobbled for a bit when let go but straightened out within a few feet. The F-1 tire wobbled (and scrubbed speed) for a lot longer. I'm guessing being a much wider, shorter and lighter tire, the gyroscopic effect took longer stabilize it. The tractor tire was inherently stable just because of sheer

It's still a Chevette.

The US Air Force does also use probe and drogue.

I think they probably started with rollers that were missing parts and "fabricated" some replacements. I mean, these are stunt cars, right? Why spend the bread to knead these things into 100-point restorations when the meat of the commercial has them hamming it up on a golf course and over curbs and jumps? Clearly

I have a TBSS. It has "privacy glass" from the b-pillar back form the factory. Tinting the driver and passenger sides to match actually makes it look better.

Painter: You know, I'm painting these rubber bumper covers to look like rust?

But we have a Stonehenge replica http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryhill_Stonehenge

A bunch of escorts and coke.

I lived in Las Vegas through most of the '90s. One night in '93 or '94 the news gave us highlights of a car chase that was, for lack of a better word, epic.

I noticed that too and thought it might be another runway that we can't see, but there isn't one at that airport.

"we wouldn't be wasting our time and money with these investments"

So, wait. Where's the people who were over there applauding on the other thread about the NTSB wanting to strap you down in to a nearly self-driving cocoon devoid of any sensory input not deemed necessary for the sole purpose of operating the vehicle? Shouldn't they be here applauding this too? It's the same
