Actually, thanks for reminding me. Those are becoming popular. I still have zero interest, but they are "climbing off the deck" as you put it.

I think the Tapas craze, and the related re-discovery of Latin wines wasn't until the Seinfeld era. 70's people got high off the idea of there being Latin cities with names other than San Francisco and San Diego...

I'd like to know if there are any American cars built post-smog (73ish) and pre aero bubbles (85ish) that are worth any amount of money. Some might say a 1978 Corvette in Pace Car livery is... but with 160hp and that black/silver body I disagree. Cimarron? Ceriously? Maybe the mirth mobile Gremlin, or the AMC Eagle...…

Neither, I don't get into a pool full of pee and sharks to go for a good swim.

Oh, All the current Maseratis. It's absolutely cruel that you can no longer wind out a Ferrari-based V8 with a stick. I geddit in the Ferraris - because racecar blah blah. racecar.

I find it amusing that when I went on a competitor site this morning (for shame, boo, hiss etc) and saw the blurb on this hideous turd the fanboys/girls had nothing but love for its gormless bulk, insipid detailing, and contrived cladding. In fact, all posts with any honest distaste for this abomination were…

Probably a Hamann-tuned convertible Italian car... and likely the California. Probably not in matte white though, maybe something lurid.

The Cadillac STS.

That was fun, using your clues to find the airplane on google maps :-)

I had no idea what this was when I clicked NP: suicide doors and that grill for $5k? Count me in!

You do realize that this Murcielago owner probably takes his yellow submarine to other discount places as well.

Good that they are 'fessing up to use predictive estimates, but the inaccurate green/yellow/red overlay is still present.

I'm glad most people get this one. I remember reading about the Rollerskate back when Sports Car International was on newsstands, still looks like a blast today!

All because a mass-produced luxury sedan will never have the feel-good factor of a handmade one, and wagon always trumps a sedan...

And if I couldn't persuade the Sultan or his brother to part with one, I'd track down this Aston Shooting Brake:

Since we are talking fantasy garages here, there are two that immediately rise to the top of the list:

with a biodiesel conversion, of course. No pump gas is gonna be hell but there will be plenty of abandoned deep fryers with gallons of go-juice nationwide. Of course you'll be headed to Canada, and the CTIS will help out once the trails get really bad.

Hardly! The Mondial is just a very ugly 308/328. It still has the goods though, and cuts up a road just as well at its prettier sibs. Sure the square body and Testarossa-aping intakes look downright silly, but all the general positives of the the 308 and later 328 apply once you get past the styling. It even rides a…
