Too many gauges, too few pedals, and it needs steel wheels and hubcaps for true sleeper status. Oh, and about a $8-10k discount.

My father always had a truck with a plow. Used it to plow off the ice on the pond for us to skate, plow a few driveways for extra cash, and plow lots of others for older folks as a kindness. He plowed the dealership where he worked, too... and, as a courtesy, he'd plow the business next door. Strangely, that was The…

Very well held.

You've been Quattroed!

It had potential, too. The Fiero was intended to be modular, and of course the Nissan Pulsar partially was. None of them were particularly awe-inspiring, but I would love to see the concept tried again with better modern materials.

Yup, came here to post Edsel. 1960, only 2,846 produced. Don't know how many sold.

"We should've bought the Rinspeed."

Looks like more of that jackass Bud Holland's work. While I don't like to speak ill of the dead, for him I'd make an exception. Incredibly irresponsible piloting led to some great photo-ops and the death of his crew.

Nice! And for that money, you could strip and sell off the tank and vac gear, and still have a fun truck to play with. Stake body? Camper? Crazy rally truck? Whatever... is old German truck goodness!

That's cute.

To quote Jason Torchinsky...

Quick comment on the aluminum vs. steel. I think, technically, it's a great way to go, but I can definitely see the risk, and that's with an eye to history. In the 60s, the Pentagon developed the most technically advanced jeep ever designed at the time. It was light, fast, had fully independent suspension, and…

My first car was a 1980 Capri RS with the 200 c.i. straight-6. Paid $200 for it when I was 15, took a year to fully rebuild the motor, and I drove the hell out of it for a couple of years until I gave it away. Horrible, plasticky mess of a car, and I'd give anything to have it back. Oh, and the bubble hatch was still…

It's always a @#&$ing Camry.

Yeah, I'm a car geek. This is a wrench from the factory tool pouch in my 1800ES that I had done. I've had the car for years.

That location would be better for a shoot of the Maserati Tipo 61. Just sayin'.

I went out of my way on a work trip between Greensboro and Atlanta to see the Sensuous Steel exhibit at the Frist Center in Nashville earlier this year. When I read that the Lane had contributed to the exhibit (a Tatra, naturally), I stayed an extra day just to visit. The fellow at the front counter was a touch surly…

They can get a police car on the roof of a building, but they can't get a boat out of the water...

I think I read it here.

Ah, just remembered another. I was driving home (we lived out in the country), and had just turned off onto our road. A short way down, there was a very, VERY large hawk standing right in the middle of the road. I had to come to a full stop. He just sort of glared at me for a moment, then pumped his wings a couple of…
