The Portland Police really stepped it up by doing the logical thing when it comes to marijuana enforcement in this state (where it’s legal for both medical and recreational) by making regular public statements about what you can and cannot do with weed, while driving, possession amounts, etc. There are no scare…

I have a car buddy here who shares my passion for the W111 coupe series and we each have one, but he also has another group of friends who all tend to buy the same car whenever one of them finds something cool to play with. Sometimes that can be a Grand 600 or the 500e like in the picture. One fellow in particular has…

The smaller mirror allows for more forward visibility due to that housing being fitted with convex glass. Even a couple of inches can make a difference and Mercedes is all about engineering so there you go.

I used to live just south of Melrose & Vine in Hollywood, CA and there is a very slight jog in the street there that happens to coincide with a crosswalk. For whatever reason, we would head tires screeching hourly and a genuine crash at least once every few days. Sometimes those crashes involved motorcycles. The one…

Probably these two pics of my baby. It was a typically overcast Portland day and a steam engine train just happened to roll up for the rear 3/4 shot which gave that perfect billowing steam cloud. Shameless plug... I have tons car pics from all over Portland, everything from Bitter SC coupes to some of the earliest…

Totally get it, I see a beautiful early W126 around town in that pale metallic green that just makes me lust after her every time I see her. The W140, one of the most visually imposing automobiles ever but... yeah. The shop I used to use for service also uses W123s and a 560sec as loaner cars. I would sometimes have…

Respectfully, I think you successfully replicated the agricultural feeling of driving a vehicle with nothing it doesn’t need and only what it does to get the job done, but that is a fair bit different from “replicating the driving experience of an air cooled Porsche.” If the article was about an old Landie or…

I’m a sucker for road trip movies and thus, a fan of road trips, so I absolutely loved reading this rather engaging retelling of your journey. I can almost see you and your buddy as Chris Farley/David Spade in Tommy Boy, John Candy/Steve Marin in Planes, Trains and Automobiles, or Zach Galifianakis/Robert Downey Jr.…

I got in before the boom, and now I’m stuck with a car I can never sell, as I’ll never be able to afford to get another. I’m just a regular guy with no money who stumbled into a 911.

Imagine a world where we all only drove cars designed by Giugiaro! I will sign up for a one-way trip to that planet.

You know, the one thing I think about when I see these incremental increases in range being described as a huge step forward (which they clearly are) it makes me think of the early advent of motoring when cars were one-upping each other with 10, then 20 and more horsepower. In 10-years these things will be useless…

Same for the original Series XJ6 Jaguars. The Merkur Scorpio also had... hold on while I read up on various states’ statute of limitations.

I wonder if it’s not the work of a local builder or shop that simply got innovative? It would seem if it were a manufactured kit there would be some sort of presence online or we would have seen them sooner. We already know the Brazilians lurv themselves some custom Beetles!

Just buy some peanut oil and rub on there, be sure to wipe it off really well so dust doesn’t adhere and collect. This usually lasts a few months. Use it on anything that’s black-plastic-turned-grey like moldings, mirrors and doorhandles (again, wipe it off thoroughly).

Well OF COURSE I’d drive it, why not? You gotta get out there and live a little right? Once I got past the fear of inadvertent pooping I’d want to ensure that the hammock setup doesn’t pull my feet away from the pedals on acceleration, or alternatively, slam me into them when braking (tho that may have some benefit),…

NOPE! Total CP on this one. The W203 is a horrible car, and to opt for the AMG version with it’s associated cost markup over even a standard E-class of the era was a mistake. I do remember seeing an original W201 Brabus as a kid and it was a mean little machine in it’s day, so that would be an acceptable alternative.…

Nah, probably just need a new transmission speed sensor in the middle of the night.

“Renault” sounds really nice for a boy’s name. I’m not necessarily a fan of these cars but it works effortlessly and is memorable. He will be spelling it out for people his whole life however.

I think you got the header pic mixed up with the one from the article about the face transplant recipient who died. So that’s what a corpse without a face looks like. Say you’re sorry.

One of the best things I learned after years of using coin-ops is to choose one relatively near a freeway entrance. Once you’re done washing and rinsing, take the car on a highway blast that works like the giant air driers at the end of the conveyor belt type car washes, all the high-speed turbulent air really cleans…
