“Over $1MM invested in this build, worth $20MM+, we know what we have, no lowballers or Palestinians. Bring a trailer.”

About 2,400 miles each way. Four years ago, I was in search of a particular car, and I prowled the interwebz for weeks, checking the usual websites every few days, without limitations on the miles from my home. I tripped over a car that just fit within my budget that had no business being in that range. I immediately…

I was heading to [tire store] to get new shoes mounted on my ‘02 Miata a few years back. Had my son riding shotgun, and I’d lit the rears up at every stop sign along the way, and may have done a couple of parking lot burnouts as well, you can’t prove it! Anyway, we’re making a left onto the mostly empty A1A about a…

Hi. I’m here to tell my Mercury Tracer story. It is not a happy one.

Alright strap in because I’m going to take you for a ride. Not only did this incident result in being stuck on the side of the road just outside the middle of nowhere in a very desperate situation somewhere in the mountains of Virginia. Me and my friend probably very nearly lost our lives.

back in 1998 I was hunting for my first car and there was a 2dr ford tempo automatic on the side of the door with for sale sign, maybe $600? I took it for a test drive and told my uncle. He said: why buy an automatic Ford Tempo when you can have a manual Jetta instead? best advice ever.

If Starbucks would just lower their drive-thru windows by six goddamn inches nobody would need a crossover.

Jeezus. I hope my 17 YO doesn’t see this.

Yes I am saying exactly that.

Here’s a few pic’s of the Polar Star I took back in 04

I had something similar happen when negotiating for my current TSX. I got bids from 4 dealers within 50 miles of my house. Because I test drove there and I’m a nice guy, I gave the local dealer a chance to meet or beat the best price I received. Sales guy came back with a quote including “non negotiable” options…

Salesman - “That price expires in a few days.”

The biggest advantage of a Z3 over an S2000 is that all the poor Hondas in my price range seem to have been abused/street raced/salvage-title’d.

Alfa 4C.

my ‘95 Windstar dogmobile - 178k. Very reliable, rides and handles like a Towncar. Still have it because it is exactly what I need for running errands in rural Connecticut, can chuck my wife’s wheelchair into with ease, and that I am poor.

Ohh, also, illuminated logos.

A fake sunroof. Not joking, it’s a thing.

Having someone explain to me how a differential works, after telling him I had recently rebuilt both of mine
Or having that same guy explain how dampers work, while I was telling him how to adjust his ridiculously expensive KWs to help him fight understeer in his car
Or maybe having that same guy tell me why heel and…

Many years ago I bought a Porsche 944S for $6700. Rough around the edges, but put work into it and it was running great and starting to turn into quite a nice car.
