Using a drill has got to rank pretty high on the list. For starters, the drill wants to spin you around as much as you want the drill to spin the screw around. You are gripping the drill with a glove that would befit an MLB mascot. You are trying to position the drill into a tiny slot while fighting the constant…

Magnus Walker absolutely must make this list. He is as organic a collector as they come, and he’s one of the few that fulfilled his dream through sheer grit and determination:

[came here to post magnus walker, came to the wrong reply screen...my bad. but I agree. Leno’s gotta be on there for the sheer brilliance of his collection.]

This I can agree with. The sport got very very lucky with this one.

Since I use mine for substantially more than parade/exhibition, I run period plates. Finding the plate, now that’s another story.

Sort of.

The Land Rover Freelander...and not in the good way. TheFordlander was an answer to a question Ford asked itself, and no one else.

Ha, yeah. At 33.5, you’d think I would make a similar decision, but for whatever reason I’ve never ached for tint.

So I guess you’re right, Tom. I actually went 750 miles to get the one I wanted. (I had a lot of little needs: late model E91, white on saddle, nav, no roof rails, no tint, etc, etc, etc.) That was a year ago and many examples (including the one you posted) with fewer options and similar mileage to what I’m at now and…

Huzzah! The dog van is in!

Wanna see something cool? When your car is locked, grab the wiper and “force it” to “wipe’ the windshield. You may have to start by pushing down and then pulling up, but the result will surprise you.

I have a dear friend who worked her ass off to win that hq for Atlanta, and the whole time I kept thinking how wonderful it was...as long as Barber stuck around. I’ve developed quite the soft spot for Barber since living nearby.

Good to hear.

Want to take a trip around Birmingham’s Barber Motorsports Park? Easy, walk a few steps to the “Simulation Room.”

I’m basically in love with the idea that you can take most cars that were once thought to possibly be underpowered, strip absolutely everything from them, and end up with face melting amazingness.

When someone in front of me panic stops, my first reaction is almost always to do a lightning quick check of the shoulder or the lane next to me to see if I can dump to either side in case the car behind me isn’t paying attention. All it takes is getting rear ended once (in one of my favorite cars ever - my ‘88 Saab…
