Are those giant squids meat eating? -feels rather ignorant-

-bows down to the ME/RWD Francostein- One of only three French cars I'd ever own.

My mum bought one when she was single and living in England. Red with a tan/plaid interior. The story is that my father was working a shift on base at the same place, saw the TR7 and asked who the British bastard was who owned that car. Out came my blonde-haired mum. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Ah, the time period of Dick Tracy and The Shadow. I didn't learn about this car until years later when Gran Turismo included the Chrysler Phaeton in GT2. Those two (plus the Citadel and 300 Hemi C later in that decade) were gorgeous. One of the big car mags did a history of these four plus some other really cool…

I will admit — it pisses me off a little that he didn't at least space/format it properly to give it the right "look and feel'. But, he did it that way for a reason. Sigh.

Here in Tampa, we get to see some amazing stuff and one of these little adventures was when a C-17 accidentally landed at this little local airport across from the mini-marina on Davis Island instead of at MacDill. Here's a video of it taking off, but peep the second link in the description for the landing in error:

Cadillac is my GM heart. Then came Pontiac, then Buick. I've struggled with the Pontiac vs Buick decision. But, I think back to the Invicta. Buick has some OG street cred. GSX, GNX. I'm less and less bitter. The hatch idea is cool and can be packaged in a certain way to fit with the new style of Buick. Here in…

A body flying at you through the windshield of a crashing car has the potential to change your perspective on the Click-It or Ticket campaign.

Since Dodge has made what was previously the most handsome blue-collar sedan (last gen Charger) into an ugly piece of crap, this Challenger is an adequate peace offering. For now.

Nonprofits, advocacy groups, and outreach programs can be amazing. They can renew your faith in your community, country, and maybe even your world. People are constantly growing emotionally and intellectually in these environments. So moving and inspiring to both watch and experience.

I typically stay away from cars that have spent time in the north (unless I know the owner's maintenance/cleaning habits), but this is a really good price for the mileage. Looks great and this doesn't sound like a first time Benz owner. Every once and a while, some older person died in Fort Lauderdale/Miami and there…

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how absolutely bizarre the rear lights programming on the Ferrari California is. There are times (save the reverse lights) I can't figure out what it's doing. Thank God for the brake light (?) bar across the trunk lid. It's easy to overlook what one might think are "reflectors" on…

I always hated seeing them (and even the Northstar-powered Bonneville) discarded over TCC/Transmission issues.

The L36/67 was a really great 6-cylinder. Particularly in that segment. Pontiac had the best setup for that little engine. Opposite side: worst example of intra-continental badge engineering.

"... working its innards..." Who in the hell thought that was fabulous copy?

Wow. Got chills. I mean, for a second there, I thought I was seeing the Ghost of World Cup Future in forty years time. But then I suddenly realized that I'd never cheer for those smurf costumed gits. Glory, glory, yadda-bloody-yadda. ;)

Burt was the man.

Dodge and Alfa use Alligator Alley as well. I was making the trip from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale 1-2x a month for a few years. Some interesting things cruise through Sarasota and over toward Broward. Good snaps to look back on.

I had no idea either. That's why I thought it was so stupidly random. Learnt it in school with "tiger". Ugh. Now I feel strange for reciting it in my youth.

It took me a little bit to get past the whole 300ZX/Diablo headlamp bit. They are sexy though — no matter what car they're shoved into.
