“F” this show. Both my wife and I work and have good jobs. We’d like to take our two car-loving boys to this show. However, it’s SO expensive now it’s prohibitive. $1,400.00 for the four of us to attend a ONE DAY SHOW!?!?! The nearest cars and coffee is more friendly, has nicer (read: ACTUAL) people, contains a very…

Great call on the C5. I’ve never owned one, buy my uncle has a 270k miles C5 that just keeps running. It does not look dated and I believe the only things he’s done to it is replace the diff, brakes, and regular stuff. Sure, the interior rattles a bit, but the thing is strong and still going! Everything still works,…

When I drive my nice car (an old 911) and I want to keep it safe from the parking lot idiots, I park WAY out in the middle of nowhere in the largest space I can find (usuall at the end). I then park as close to one side as possible (assuming I’m at the end here, right next to a tree or curb). This ensures that (1) it…

I had a 1970 (whatever it was) Fiat Brava 131. It was EXACTLY like this one:

Mazda needs to send us the diesel wagon. If it had been available I would have purchased it instead of the VW diesel wagon I just purchased. Missed sale Mazda.

I have a 1986 911 that didn’t pass smog for the first time ever this past winter. I still cannot figure out what’s wrong with it, so off to the shop with crossed fingers it goes. Mind you, I’ve owned this car for 13 years and have driven 30k miles in it. Makes no sense to me either.

They both are to blame. Camero-a-hat has 90% of the fault, work-truck driver maybe 10%. However, I’ve been the the work-truck driver’s situation way too many times to count. I’ve learned my lesson. If work-truck speeds up and pulls the the right to let Camero-a-hat pass then Camero-a-hat cuts him off and brake checks…

Chainsaw Idiot is wrong, for sure. But, the parents are stupid. Call the police, sure, but don’t follow or DO ANYTHING to provoke anyway. Safety comes first, but some people don’t get that.

Years ago at the Monterey Historic Races I was walking the pits with my friends and family. A guy was polishing this make/model/color/year car. We stopped to look at how beautiful it was. Also, VERY modern looking compared to any other car of the era vs. today. We struck up a conversation with the owner (because…

That paint scheme is a mess.

My neighbor has one JUST like this. I see it all the time. It's the only one I see though.

Ok, winner here.

Jiri airport, Nepal. We were told to NOT fly in there, so we rented a bus and driver to get there. Sixteen or so hours of pure terror, including stopping at night to clear the road due to a land slide and passing by 2000 foot cliffs with no room for error. We thought the drive and roads were crazy and vowed to NOT…

What really needs to happen is Bernie (are you listening?) needs to release ALL OF THE COVERAGE! We only get the crap coverage; the "what we'll FEED you because you didn't pay me enough" coverage. Perhaps if all of the coverage were available and each of the networks were able to piece together their own stories…

In 1990 I flew to Narita from SFO with my father. I was 20 at the time. He is a Vietnam vet and flew C130s and C141s. We encountered what he called "mild turbulence." I thought we were going down! He was trying to fall asleep. He then told me a story of flying a C130 through a hurricane. He'd fly down a…

Thank you for this. This is GREAT stuff. I watched WRC religiously through this era (and coverage was scarce). I miss these exciting times and personalities. I eventually stopped watching when only one person was winning for 10 years in a row and mfg. after mfg., driver after driver, dropped out of the series. …

I have not ridden on the road in 12 years. Got hit head on by a teenager on the phone and on the wrong side of the road around a blind corner. Ended my street riding. However, I kept all my gear and this bike makes me want to get back in to it. A simple(er), honest, no frills, great looking ride. Nicely done Duc!

Take everything down a notch. Some of the coolest cars ever are 25+ years old. Personally, I'd like to see you take on a first gen E30 M3. I've always very much liked those. You should have plenty left over in the budget to get everything fixed. It's practical. And, it's within reach of most of us Jalops. I'd…

During the last slide in the video, car moving from left of the frame to the right, did it shift mid-drift? If so, that's pretty amazing considering it was able to continue to power slide. Try that with a manual gearbox! It's the first time I've seen something like that; it clearly demonstrates one of the…

I ALWAYS park in the back, as far away from the front as possible. There are ALWAYS spots, nobody is stressed, I get some exercise, and I have a stress free crap of a time at the mall. It's a win-win-lose!
