As much as as I've always loved the Sonnet, I'd probably go for the Karmann Ghia. As the years go by the styling of the Karmann just seems to get better and better. To tell you the truth I'd like to one of each as I'm a sucker for small, light, underpowered cars of this vintage, but if I had to choose only one It's be…

Is that all it take to get you out of the driver's seat? You must not have had to sit through the highway patrol gore-fest films in drivers' ed.

My first driving lesson was in my father's Cobra II. As a 16 year old I liked the car.

My guess is it was a French car. She put it in drive and rather than going forward it gave up and rolled over.

Back when I was kid ( a rather long time ago) my father drove a Volvo 544, followed by an Amazon wagon, he talked of getting a P1800, but being a family man with 4 kids even the P1800 ES wouldn't work. I still love the lines of those old Volvos. For some odd reason when the 140 came out that box on a box on wheels…

Texas is a place where businesses are allowed to run unregulated, but an unauthorized playboy advert is where they are going to draw the line?

This just goes to show if you're going to max out all your credit cards customizing your favorite ride don't do it while you're under the influence of massive amounts of crack. Drugs make a person think som crazy-ass sh*t is good idea. Some day you may sober-up and have to sell that thing.

I thought it was Volvo before I read headline. This is the first time a Jag has been unrecognizable as a Jag to me.

Built for visual effect not speed.

1850 pounds weight 300+ hp, hand built with chromoly space-frame in 5 months. You had me at "startling power to weight ratio".
There's nothing like being startled when you push on the excellerator.

Parking between the lines shows no imagination. Russians are simply more creative.

I would be interested to see wind tunnel tests. After all the the louvers on the engine cover are covered by the trailer. I remember my buddy used to keep a jug of water in his beetle in the summer to pour over the carburetor when it would vapor-lock , and we weren't towing anything at the time. That trailer must be…

I've seen this creation. I love that you can drive it from the flying bridge on top.

The Beetle 5th wheel camper has me wondering if overheating was a problem. Take a little air-cooled engine, overload it, and wrap a camper around it to limit air-flow. Makes me wonder.

I know the laws won't allow it, but I wish they could build stuff like this again.

These cars are competing in the luxury sedan market. most cars in the luxury sedan market depreciate rather quickly. My theory on that is cars like this are purchased mostly as a status symbol. To own a new one says you can afford it, but to own an older one says either you used to be able to afford it, or you bought…

Yeah you're right. I am contradictory. I guess I have mixed feelings about Maserati.

Maserati has a history of building high end GT cars. Most of their cars have attempted to keep a practicality that Ferrari, or Lamborghini couldn't really be bothered with. If you wanted a fast, stylish, expensive Italian car, but wanted to be able use it on a daily basis (except when it's being repaired of course)…

When I was a kid My father had one of these. I remember he was the first person in the neighborhood to buy a Toyota. I can't remember the exact year, but I think he first bought a 66 or 67 Coronoa. I remember hearing various neighbors giving him grief over his purchase and defending the Toyota because of it gas…
