The number 928 immediately leapt to my mind.

Typically when people put that kind of effort into a custom hotrod like that, they're pretty damn proud of it... Way more than $11,500. The funny thing is, had they gone the easy route and just done a concourse restoration, I can see it fetching close to double that at half the cost.

Nope.

The newly mandated "blind spot" systems really piss me off... Every driver should take driver's ed, and every driver's ed course should teach people how to ADJUST THEIR MIRRORS! If you see your car in your side view mirrors, they're not properly adjusted. It's so stupid to add the cost and complication to a car…

The sole advantage of disc brakes in just about every application is that they stay adjusted. Like traction control, ABS, etc. disc brakes are another laziness aid that takes the maintenance out of automobile ownership and operation.

Control preference, not safety.

Quality Driver's Education. Combined with a little common sense trumps the vast majority of what I've seen posted so far.

Nope.

Nope. ABS is safety for people who don't know how to handle hard braking.

$50K for a decent Samba is pretty average. I sold my unrestored (dents, some rust, etc.) DD panel bus (5 windows) for a little over $10K a few years back in about a week without trying, I got cash in advance, got to continue driving it while I located a replacement vehicle (two weeks or so), got to keep whatever…

All of Barrett Jackson is a fluke more than a reference. Same with any sale on eBay (unless you're dealing with your insurance company in a write off situation).

That's how the owner of the bar managed to make the purchase of the car a tax write off. He probably should have bought a car that wasn't such a bore though. The Quattroporte is hardly anything to get excited over. It's not very luxurious, not much of a performer, not particularly rare (save that no one wants to buy…

Using a 50-year old car as a daily is a bold move for anyone, and as many of us know, old cars can be pretty demanding. But that's exactly where the Corvair really surprised me. I'm used to driving 40+ year-old cars around as daily drivers. I'm used to putting up with a bit less comfort and a good bit more hassle just…

Great video! Disproportionate number of rear engined cars losing the line the hard way. Great demonstration of front versus rear engined handling characteristics (under versus over steer) and what happens when you push each beyond their limits. Some pretty precious metal rolling through that corner by modern standards.

After seeing the Lambo nose and the Koenigsegg center console, I wanted to go look at which hotwheels car inspired this detail. I'm not hating or anything, and if this proves to be some fantastically engineered feature then cool on them. Envelopes are constantly pushed, but we're talking a 5X leap from the current…

Up here at least (Colorado) 4X4 Toyota Tacomas are pretty crazy. A decent 10 year old truck with 100k miles or so (keep in mind, this is a truck so it's been used to tow, haul, off road, etc.) will set you back $15K easily. It's jokingly referred to as the "Toyota Tax".

That has "Ghia" written all over it.

My daily is a swing axle car. It's also rear engined. I drive it hard through the canyons (I live in a canyon up in the mountains) and haven't managed to go ass first off a mountain. Turns out, if you aren't a complete idiot you don't die. Recognize the machine for what it is and respect it and it will be nice back.

What the A7 has in size is compensates with in toys. Flashing lights on the mirrors let you know there's a car in your blind spot, letting you know when it's a bad idea to change lanes. Cameras in the front and rear keep you from plowing into curbs, pedestrians, varmints and other hazards.

That particular one has a lot of very tasteless modifications...
