The ACD festival also coincides with the two auctions (Auctions America in the old Kruse park and now another auction just down the road (with much nicer cars and a much higher entry price). If you time if right this week, you can watch all of the classics as they pull back into town after their tour of the area. …

Thanks for posting this video. I was at the Deusenberg drags last year. I'm still surprised at how hard some of those guys hammered on those cars.

A friend of mine had one of those (a 1979 I think) when I was in high school. It still had the bump on the hood for the turbo, so nobody thought it was a normal Cutlass-type of car. Also, it ate turbos like I eat cereal.

The Spec-V is real.

From wikipedia:

I thought that the Scirocco was the first hot hatch to evolve from the VW lineage (it was launched 6 months before the Golf).

Tom Cruise is still nucking futs...

I believe that there was a fore-runner to the GTI... so that would probably be picked before the GTI.

The Scirocco I'm talking about is a 1981... not the new model. Mine can hide behind a 2WD Ford Ranger.

I'm a hair over 6'3" and mine is a 1981 Scirocco S. Once I crawl into the car, it's fairly comfortable.

Those Fiats are surprisingly small in person. I pass one most days on my commute and it makes my Scirocco look big (by comparison)... and seriously, Miatas look bigger than my little VW...

Yes, I was referring to the probably demise of the automaker. Things really aren't looking good over there.

It seems that Saab may not have any problems shortly.

I just tried that. I just get re-directed to the useless m.jalopnik.com address that doesn't have a way to add a new thread... or reply. I was using the full site query address, but that stopped working a while back.

Can you comment from an iPhone yet?

I think that's most of the problem...

Ahem... the BRZ was yesterday's news... seriously... they covered it yesterday. See it over on the right side of the screen?

I need some eye bleach now... thanks.
