If you want more colorful commentary on the NC, I’ll let Mr. Regular take it from here.

There may be a reason for that: Not enough demand for a single generation/model to make that kind of investment worthwhile, and not enough surviving chassis to have a sustainable business.

The impact went right over the front and rear crash beams. The unibody itself took all the damage in the rear and the AC condenser and radiator were pushed into the turbo. The damage to the engine was enough to total the car.

Are we going to see shops that only do 67 - 69 Camaros, C2 Corvettes, 65/ 66 Mustangs, 70 - 74 E bodys, etc... God I hope so.

Years ago I worked for the heir of the family that built the steam catapult launchers for US aircraft carriers. Inherited something like $80M. Hated it. Didn’t want the silver spoon. Joined the Navy and started in the mailroom. Worked his way up, then moved on to starting small businesses to support the area he…

Dodge Mirada.

Thing is... Torch would probably stand in pretty well. He’s not as bombastic and can’t project like Clarkson, but he’d be funny in his own way.

That is a goddamn steal for an R129 if it was in great condition.

As a proper Jalop, I’m going to instead wait for the SRT Super DUPER Devil Demon Charger that makes 1337HP ... then wait for them to get cheap enough on the used market before I consider one, then buy a Honda CR-V instead.

Not that one. Herb’s is blue.

What’s crazy is earlier on, Herb Chambers used to drive it in Boston. I once saw it going down the Mass. Ave Arcade and couldn’t believe it.

Not just Mazda though. Toyota’s 2GR V6 (which is in a TON of cars) has variants that can operate using the Miller cycle depending on load.

This. I’ve sold more expensive cars than this “cash.” This means we go to your bank, and I watch the teller cut the check (so you don’t try to give me a fake one). We then go to my bank and deposit it. You are given the title in the bank, on camera. You drive to a restaurant, we have lunch and chat, and we go our…

So the benefit for highly-skilled and talented professionals acting as a mentor is it’s potentially a form of qualified lead generation.

Believe so.

People with some electrical engineering background can do a lot of amazing stuff with enough of a market to motivate them.

I was going to say that Lexus of Watertown (just outside Boston, MA) still had a new LFA in their inventory, but it apparently was sold earlier this year.

I know they have a storied racing history, but they could fall off the face of the Earth and I don’t think I’d notice.

But, take that away and what is Maserati?

I’ve been hit similarly on 95-S in my Miata a few years ago.
