In their heydays Lancia made some outstanding cars, and I agree with you, this is one car that is in my top 5 list of all time favorites and one of the cars I believe is one of the most beautiful in the world (along with the original Jaguar E-type). Even if I drove a kit car version that would be enough for me. Well I…

Wow you have done a true bucket list item for me! I went to the Concours D'elegance last year just so that I could see a Stratos in person and be able to take pictures of a real one. There is a company in the UK that makes a kit replica of a Stratos. I only wished they would be available in the US. You are one very…

Have you had an opportunity to drive the new Z06 and what your thoughts are if you have. If you have, is it your favorite corvette or do you prefer something else?

My local Chrysler dealers have had the willys wheeler jeeps on their lots for months now in New England. PS: I like them too :)

I currently have a both a grand cherokee and a wrangler and neither have experienced any electrical problems at all. Before that I also owned a charger, challenger and ram pickup with minor problems. All in all I have only experienced a few problems:

The hood on that reminds me of the closet doors in my bedroom LOL

I had a white one (the james bond color) and it was an awesome car to drive. Plus people like taking lots of pictures of them and asking silly james bond questions like 'Does it really turn into a submarine?'. Plus it sounds great driving it.

Having been personally hit by "distracted drivers" 3 times in the last 3 years all I can say, thanks for stating the obvious. I had my 2013 corvette rear ended by some dumb kid texting away literally 3 hours after I drove it off the lot. I was actually on my way to go pay the taxes on the car and bam. I wouldn't even…

Jeep? They have been around since world war 2 and have seen action on probably every continent on earth. That would be my best guess.

I was in a Maserati dealership last weekend and if there was ever a bigger bunch of condescending (male members), then I have never seen them before that day. I guess they still operate in the 50s thinking that there can never be such a thing as a succesful woman. I guess they assumed I was stupid and didn't know the…

What would be really cool, however impossible, would be if they could stick that wonderful 6.7 liter cummins diesel engine in a ram power wagon 2500 along with a beefed up suspension. Now that would truly be an offroading monster. I would take that before a hellcat powered truck. There is a viper srt-10 truck in my…

If I drive my 2014 stingray nicely (meaning with cruise control) I can average 30 mpg. My actual mpg is lower (around 21) since it's a combination of driving nicely and spirited driving (using paddle shifts, sport or track mode, etc). It's actually a nice benefit to this car. I'm still amazed at how this car can be 2…

What about some of the prior to the big crash of 2009 SRT vehicles? I still see some of those having a floor that they never go below. A magnum SRT is pretty rare and can be had for well under $20k and it's a 165mph station wagon. That's something you don't see every day :)

When I had my H1 hummer I remember a number of times that movie makers would contact the hummer club asking if anyone was willing to have their truck on a movie set. I am guessing because they could make it easily look like a military vehicle. The locations we always too far for me so I never did it. But one thing is…

Back when I had my 2013 SRT with a measly 470 HP, I still can't get over how evil that car made me feel. Never in my life have I ever owned a car where I felt like weaving through traffic, passing 5 or more cars at a time and in general driving like I was on fire. I spent so many days driving home from work at the end…

I'm a female fan of Top Gear. I love the zany antics and things they do. The Burma Special was one of my favorite episodes of the show to date. I do agree with a few things that for the most part men tend to be condescending to women when talking about cars, like we're not supposed to be interested. What these guys…

The Hummer H1 that I used to own was basically struggling mightily around 69MPH. That was it. That has to be the slowest. The good news is in any crash up to and including a swat vehicle, your very likely to walk away without a scratch. If that were the test vehicle on the day in question, no doubt today Patrick would…

What happened to Dodge Viper, Corvette Stingray, Mercury Cougar, Chevy Impala, Hudson Hornet, Ford Mustang, The Cheetah (fiberglass kit car), Plymouth Barracuda. How about just Jaguar, a whole company named after an animal. American cars have a long and colorful tradition of not only having the animal in the car name…

Coal rolling diesel trucks come to mind when I read that comment. T alk about some stigma those poor diesel guys have to put up with :)
