I too love N/A powerful engines, but given the issues today with producing vehicles that are supposed to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, it seems like a turbo or turbos is the way to go.

Not bad!

And my point was that Chevy seems to love Battleship gray, so I don’t see where the controversy is. I wasn’t making a blanket statement that battleships through history all wore battleship gray, but rather was showing that bland gray is something even the Navy loves.

A fun story about a Lola T70. My sister was dating a guy who owned an ex Roger Penske Lola T70 Mk III-SL 73-126. The guy also had a bunch of wild Corvettes and when my sister told me about the car, I could hardly believe it. But, I went over to his house which was only one block away from where my parents were living…

Pink Pig or Truffle hunter:

In 1973, my best friend and I drove out to California from a Midwest state to go see the Laguna Seca Can Am race. After the race, we went south to San Diego. In Huntington Beach, we saw a guy driving an actual 1971 McLaren Mk8F Can Am car with a big block Chevy and towering velocity stacks at an intersection. We…

What happened was tragic, but banning classes is not the answer. Better spectator safety is however. Since the Nurburgring is so long, it would probably be difficult to line the entire circuit with barriers that protects people, but spectator areas should then be restricted. Group C cars raced there and F1 did until…

Honestly, I liked it better as a 2 door. 2 door coupe cars were extremely popular at this time and the VehiCross fit that sporty image. This was before SUVs really took off so Isuzu was looking to combine off road capability with a sporty coupe kind of look. Would it have been more successful as as 4 door? Hard to…

I am somewhat of a WW2 historian and have a vast library on the Iowa class battlleships. Off and on, American battleships had dazzle camouflage as other patterns, but the paint schemes often changed and they also were just battleship gray. After WW2, during Korea, Viet Nam and the refurbishing of the 4 Iowas during…

Ok Mate, you have outdone yourself. You really got my attention with the T70. Having been a teenager during the 60s and seeing them race in the Can Am and endurance racing, I have always held a special love for them.

I think there is an echo in here because I detect a double post. BTW, I never said that BMW does not make great cars, because they do. They just are not my cup of tea although if I could have an M3 coupe with a V8, I wouldn’t kick it out of my garage. And, BMW is certainly waaaaay better than Cadillac. Careful. the…

The movies seems more like something from the Grand Theft Auto video game than a car action movie. And to think I thought the nitrous oxide hyper space scenes were ridiculous...

Now THAT is an Amazon package!

Oh brother, it is Carruthers, but if I had my druthers, I wish it were my mother.

Well, it ain’t no Cadillac and the Cadillac fans will hate it, but it is an expression of my automotive passion. For me, I would rather have a lighter, better packaged, awd vehicle with great horsepower than an Origami shaped car. But, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder as they say and Caddiddliacs were disagree…

Great minds think alike!

Well, if I had my druthers, I would rather have a 1970 Chevelle Malibu SS454 than this one.

It does sound like a good deal. BMW is a good company, but I am just not the BMW type. I am more Japanese tuner or American Muscle. I currently have a Mitsubishi Evo X that is built and love every moment of owning it. I want to buy a Hellcat too, but alas, I am so far back in line, it will be a miracle to score one.…

Are you still nattering? Dar Glorious Leader Kim Jung Un approves of your message. Hammer down every nail until it is flush to guarantee conformity. No room for freedom of speech here. Pal, get a life. This is not life and death nor is it WW3 or Armageddon. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. Sorry, but I…

Jason, you nailed it. It does indeed remind me of the Isuzu VehiCross.
