Can we make a sub-game called "Smear the Sebring"?

GT's historically long release times (among other things) are digging it a deep grave.

Maybe in the future where a gallon of milk costs $50k, the Solstice will sell for $1m. I'm not going to hold my breath though.

Alternatively, you could pick up one that's had a nice engine swap or already has some go-fast bits added to the engine. Of course, that still leaves us without a goat...

I'll post a thoughtful comment as soon as I stop laughing my ass off about the Solstice. You're trolling me, right Martin?!

Jalopnik is obviously not the place to discuss good web design tactics. Do the rest of the Gawker sites look this bad now too?

I can pick up a track-prepped Miata for $5k...

Well, you've earned yourself a heart-click for your obscure FC knowledge. It is a 4WD unit, and I'm fairly certain that it has a 4-speed. For what it's worth, it's a 1958 (I just retrieved the title from the safe on my last trip to the farm).

Thanks for the kind words. I have a feeling that it's a bit hairy to drive. The feeling of the front wheels being behind you is unnerving to me at least.

I'm not sure what axle is under the truck. That's an excellent point and I would go look at it, but it's sitting in a barn 4 hours away from me. It has a massive rear leaf springs though. I have never driven it, but my grandfather said that it would only run about 35 mph, so maybe it does have the large gears. …

The one in my picture above confuses me. It's tagged as an FC-150. I know that it was used by a very small town fire department to haul water when it was in service. It has a flat bed (somewhere around the barn) and dual rear wheels. In my research, I can't find another "dually" FC-150 (the ones with dual rears…

The FC does have a really gaudy diamon-tucked velour interior that my grandfather had installed before he passed away. It's rocking 4k miles, but storage in the midwest has not been kind to the metal bits that like to freeze together (like the rear drums - we used a backhoe to break them loose). I just moved it to a…

Thanks for the link. There is some very informative comments on their site, especially by one guy who had the opportunity to bid on them while they were in the original barn.

My "barn find" is way less interesting... this trio has me salivating.

This seems pretty legit to me. The guy apparently knew Luigi Chinetti. The question of "Why were they left like that in the first place?" comes to mind, but I don't doubt the authenticity of the Mecum auction.

I plan on watching it when I can buy a copy. It looks fantastic!

Every time I try to watch the "Last Lap" video, the room I am in suddenly becomes very dusty.

I just bought a 1981 VW Scirocco for about a $1k (USD). I can take my hand off the wheel and it will drive straight for over a mile before I get bored with seeing how long it will go without my input. Something is wrong with the suspension geometry in these cars...

Apparently that one hit a bit close to home. Defensive much? Oh... and speed up on the side streets or get the hell out of my way.

I had the same (reverse) thought... what did they use to bring in all of the blocks on which they perched the trucks? All things point to a few big box vans or a semi.
