This is funny. This car doesn't interest me at all. I recognize that others like it, but that isn't really making any impact on me this morning. To me, this is a Mercedes that's in the middle period of being not old enough to look good and not new enough to look good, and it's got a weird red interior and an automatic…

Oh. My. God.

Whoa, apparently not! I'm quite surprised.

The people back you by a hair, but I wouldn't be seen driving a Superbird, as much as I admire and respect them.

How could anyone leave this out in the cold? It's such a boyhood dream . . .

How did almost every commenter miss the point of this article?

Nice.

You're right, Mercedes would never have allowed it. Just a hypothetical I guess.

You could do a spec series with friends! Sounds fun. I like the Mustang too though.

I agree with your point about copyrights protecting a company's profits, but I always wonder what to do in these cases. I think this should have been licensed so that they got a share of his profits.

This has been my favorite Volvo and overall one of my favorite cars for a long time, even before I knew it had this much power. The guy did a spectacular job with it and it's something I'd love to own, even if it's a few orders of magnitude out of my price range.

Why did you smash cars that ran? What was the fundraiser for?

Very interesting!

Ever heard of intellectual property?

I hope they do!

Here it is with new suspension, a hood from the junkyard that I painted, and some dumb tint removed.

This is a picture of my first car, the day I bought it for $980. It's a 1990 Golf GL, 2-door, Wolfsburg. It's been a few years now and it's still my daily (my only car). When I bought it, the shifter was a spoon in a bowl of soup, and the brake lights were constantly on, but I've gotten it mostly figured out.

The day I bought it, $980.

Those are cool cars! I saw two brown ones parked outside the junkyard the other day - one of them drifted around a turn on the way in!
