Sure. Apparently, you have not been following F1 for very long. I have been watching and had an interest in it since 1966. So, what sayest thou about the ground effects cars of the late 70s? Or, what do you say about the cars with over 1,000 hp in the 80s? F1 until the last few years was about innovation,…

For any young person who was a teen in the 1960s, the Ford GT was THE poster car. Not only were they beautiful, they looked like 200 mph when sitting in the pits. I cried with joy when the MK IIs finished 1-2-3 in 1966 and did cartwheels when the Mk IV won again in 1967. These were the proudest moments for any…

No, I think you are missing the idea of overpowered. Even though those cars have awd, they are still a handfull. The GT-R will pull a wheelie on a launch. And, the discussion is about cars being overpowered. I was giving explicit examples because there will probably be more cars like the Hellcats in the future.

Laid is a relative term...

Oh, how I love rallys in snow. My favorite was people like Stig Blomqvist driving an Audi Sport Quattro.

Yes, I am aware of the history of the saying. No wonder the USPS has used it as their slogan for so long.

I remember this race because ABC's Wide World of Sports covered it, at least gave it 15 minutes of glory interspersed with curling and ping pong matches. Oh, those Meyer's Manxes were so uber kool as well.

Congrats. While I was far from being the fastest, I acquitted myself well for a man of 62 years of age. And, I beat my son and his friends who are in their early 20s. Had the time of my life. After that, I started lusting after a Fiesta ST....

True that. Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds, or so the USPS says. So yes, rain, sleet, snow, blazing sun are all fair game for racing.

I like the idea of a spec LLV series. Then we could learn who could really "haul the mail"!

At least it only took you 5 years to wish you had listened to mom. At least you made something of yourself. After 10 years of playing and working low paying jobs, I finally got some smarts and went to college and became a teacher, which I suppose to some, is just another way of wasting your time, but I digress.

I should have listened to mom. Mom told me in 1970 upon graduation from high school to go to Control Data computer school and learn to work with computers. But no, I had to do it my way, which ended up wasting 10 years of my life having fun with cars and girls. Mom, I wish I had listened to you.

That seat. Did I mention, that seat. Just to make things clear, that SEAT! Oi vey...

Attending an off road race is on my to do list before I pass on from this world.

I thought the Mk IIIs looked great. They were contemporaries of the Acura Integra and VW Scirocco. I looked at all 3 before deciding to buy a 16v Scirocco in 1986.

I am just wondering if they ordered Big Macs and large fries along with extra large Cokes. Wouldn't it have been ironic if the radio had been on and Don McLean's "American Pie" song had been playing, complete with "Drove my Chevy to the Levee"?

I like the Focus ST. Have driven several of them. I have even seen the price get marked down on them to a reasonable level when they have languished on dealer lots. I had a chance to drive both a Focus ST and a Fiesta ST in anger on an autocross set up by Ford. It was called the ST Challenge. Got two hot laps in each…

Pure asshattery right there. And, it is inexcusable. I wish I had a dollar for every time in my life I have seen these schmendricks parking in handicapped spots. Too bad a garbage truck could not have backed up into it.

My favorite Celica was the first gen. They were as proliferate as sand on the beach in Southern California in the 1970s. There was also the Celica that Dan Gurney's team raced in IMSA GTO in the late 1980s. And, who could forget the Celica Rally cars? I agree that the last iteration was a big let down even thought I…

Jim raced this 1070 442 in the 1969 Baja 1000. Vic Hickey built it. At the time, it was so outrageous to see a car rather than dune buggy or truck racing in the Baja 1000. People like Parnelli Jones had a Ford Bronco nicknamed "Big Oly", which was more in keeping with what people were racing back then. Seeing a 442…
