I absolutely love when you do these posts Raphael, they are always filled with great back story, a tiny bit of mystery/drama and stunning pieces of machinery.

Really great post. I have been lucky enough to meet your dad and visit the garage but to hear about this side of him and the passion he instilled in you was simply wonderful.

Is this car in your book fine sir?

With the success of the C7 one has to at least wonder if that's the intentions with a new 'GT' from Ford. Yes you can play up the Ford is going back after Ferrari at Le Mans chatter but what if they actually just have the Corvette square in their sights?

After watching the video this house feels like a steal for $70M. But like others have said, good for him, assuming he doesn't change into some prick that turns on the people that made him successful.

A Miata, if for no other reason than to potentially prove Travis wrong.

It might actually help get people to attend games if you know the odds of being punched/puked on/hearing a constant stream of profanity is decreased

Someone buy this man an iron

I'm sure there are plenty of people on here complaining about a remake vs an original game but this is 14 years old, that leaves a very very large percentage of your install base that possibly has never played this game. Hell I am 29 and I never played this back on my N64 so I for one am excited.

Why does the lip on this rim bother me so much...

This car did not have Porsche $8,000 carbon ceramic brakes, and if you are just using the car on the street, you really don't need them. And since you're buying a Targa, you will not be going on the track. Real talk.

How much of it is to allow buyers to get around certain taxes though? I also thing right away to a place like London where because you drive a Cayenne Hybrid you are still allowed to drive into the city vs a normal gas only model

The flexible architecture of the D6 will provide the mechanical base for a wide variety of sedans and crossovers starting in 2019, all designed to give Lincoln more differentiation from its Ford-branded siblings, as well as a stronger foundation on which to build more competitive luxury models to pit against the…

Completely agree, move this team closer to an actual city in Florida before we completely give up

If both cities pull out of bidding wouldn't Sochi by rule be given first right of refusal for hosting again? Is Sochi the official backup site just like London would be for the Rio games?

I laughed, I cried, and god damnit now I want one

So then lets flesh this out:

Let's hope it is somehow NART related

I think the ultimate problem Chevy faces here is the name, Corvette. Just making it mid-engine does not make buyers stop thinking of the Vette as a cheaper sports car. If they want it to truly be a halo car a new name might be needed.

Much like the SLS I do not like the rear end of this otherwise sexy machine. Also HOLY SIDE GILLS
