I’m not a Jeopardy fanatic, like my in-laws, but I’d like to see Peyton Manning be given a shot/audition as host (not a knock against Aaron Rodgers as I’ve never saw him guest host). Manning is a natural in front of a TV camera and I think he has the chops to host something like Jeopardy. I’ve seen him host a

You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. My “car” gets squirrely with just a bit of throttle on cold tires and the traction control puts it right back in line. Those crashes you talk about typically occur w/o traction or stability control - which are well designed features that actually that work phenom

I’m going to show my age by going back way in time. Early 90's Nissan NX2000. Never owned one, but I had one loaned to me for a weekend via competitive fleet exchange. Not the greatest looking thing, but man was it a blast to drive. Didn’t want to give it back when it was time to.  Close second, and in another

A knock-off of this bicycle was sold here in Canada. A childhood friend had one. It was called the Fastback 100, by Glider. They came in one colour only - orange. The gooseneck tube at the front was a bit longer on the Glider.  My inner Napoleon Dynamite says: “sweet bike”.

Corvette Ownership Rules:

The S550 Shelby GT-350. Bought into all the hype by the auto journo’s, decided to pick one up and got rid of it after a year. I still regret trading my Competition Orange Boss 302 and a wad of cash for that vibrator on four wheels.

The Buick “of yore” is long gone. That mark is now in the hands of GM China and when you have a billion people to sell to, you kinda get to call the shots. As one contributor already offered, Buick basically sells these smaller Buicks crossovers to older empty nesters. These customers are looking for comfortable

I too was a child Evel Kneivel back in the 70's and approve this post.

Just showed this to my wife. Without missing a beat, she say “must be a woman”. Blew my morning coffee out my nose.

Like to see you shit your pants handling an 10,000+ HP Top Fueler.

If you were around in the 70's & 80's, the SBC fanboys were no different than today’s LS guys.  Dime-a-dozen.

Take your damn star.

Yup.  And Adrienne Barbeau and Tara Buckman in 80's spandex suits.

I was waiting for someone to post this engine. I guess it took a while since most Jalops were born after this thing went out of production. As much as I hated them (I pumped gas as a teen and put more engine oil in slant sixes than any other engine out there - they leaked more than they burned), they were abundant

Let me be the first to inform you, anyone with a vast car collection doesn’t give a rat’s ass wether you’re impressed or not. And who the @#$% are you to tell someone how many collector cars they should be capped at owning and how often they should drive them? Earn your own fortune and lead by example. Otherwise, go

It takes about 4000 man hours to build a Singer Porsche. Consider a shop rate of $100-200/hr for a sustainable business, that can run at or above 3/4Mil in labor alone, and then add in the car purchase and all the one-off custom made parts and things start to ad up real quick.

I’m sure the comedian who goes by the name Fluffy would disagree with you. He own’s a stunning array of VW’s, mostly mirco buses restored to the nines. He invested in them because he said Jay Leno told him collector cars are good place to invest your money, if you have it. Also, that whole “souless” argument is such

If I had $2M pocket change, I would love to be one of the “75 fools” to part with a couple of mil to own a Singer DLS. These things are stunning works of art, with performance to match, and will only appreciate in value.

Forgive me, but was there a door crasher sale?

‘86 GT’s are cool. It was the last model year for the “four-eye” and the only four-eye available with the fuelie 5.0. Very desirable if clean. Not a fan of vert’s, wish it was a hatchback instead. Red or Black would be my preference, with a hardtop.
