Very true. My first car was a 1988 Honda Accord and I intentionally kept the original key when I sold it.

I worked at a Honda dealer years back. Through the service department doors we all heard a horrible scraping sound coming down the road. The source pulled up, and it was a little old lady in a '88 Accord with one rear tire completely shredded. Rubber bits were flying everywhere and slapping the bodywork. She calmly

I think insurance companies come out with that list every year.

Nope, he's not a mechanic of any sort but brags about being able to "fix" things.

That's the thing, this guy claims to be a car guy and regularly brags about his "knowledge." Many times I'm happy to listen to him go off on completely inaccurate or ignorant details and just laugh about it later.

I didn't forget the camera. That rig looks damned expensive. It's just amazing how fast advertising adds up.

True, but printing on just paper that size is expensive. Figuring on the ridiculously low side of $100 each you have $68,000 just for the aluminum panel prints alone.

Plus the cost of printing those, depending on the quality and mounting would be incredible. Printing on photographic paper is expensive enough and those are aluminum.

This seems like an incredible amount of work for little payoff. I wonder how much time it took to set up all of those perfectly spaced mounted prints.

Just a few recent gems from him, I could go on.

Yes, these are all fantastic points and reason enough for them to keep up hope.

No, but when I was lusting over a beautifully maintained S2000 in the parking lot once he had to come up and say "I wasn't impressed by those." He admitted he has never driven one. I get unintentionally hilarious auto commentary from this guy nearly every day.

I don't know how they plan to get rid of the parts for any profit, the DeLorean community is pretty tight and black panels would raise a red flag. The engine is common and not worth the trouble.

I know he had an old Dakota and currently a '95 4 cylinder Wrangler. Even though the poorly running Wrangler is a mess I'd rather drive that than a Corsica.

Are we sure he wasn't just upset at it being a Corsica? I absolutely hated these things that had no business existing outside of a rental car fleet. I work with a guy who says that his old Corsica was one of the nicest cars he's ever owned and I had to hold in laughter.

I was just thinking about how Gran Turismo would zero out my score with that kind of maneuver.

I absolutely loved this movie and have seen it several times. It's a shame that they had to speed up the footage of the last race as there are some fantastic crashes and incredible action. Unfortunately they thought the viewer might find it too slow looking.

My mom told me she had ordered a Mustang II new from a dealership, and when my dad found out he made her cancel it.

Yeah, everything loses detail and has a blue colored tint to it. I'd rate it about as pointless as rain-sensing wipers. I'm more comfortable hitting a switch when I choose to, I like to feel involved in what my car does.

It just seems so out of place when their original strategy with the NC was to cut weight everywhere, Richard Hammond even mentioned that they used a lighter, simpler mirror on his test car.
