Whoever drove this beast up to 118 mph in a time when most people were still getting around by foot of horse must have been insane. Why did Fiat stop building 28.5 liter engines? that would be 15.8 times the displacement of my 73 fiat spider with the later model 1.8 liter engine. Thi think must have weighed at much…

I lost my only keys to a BMW R100 and didn't find them till a good year after I sold the bike. they were at the end of my driveway buried in the Ivy. I'd finally gotten around to cutting back the ivy to reclaim my driveway and there were the keys. I have them now, I just don't have the bike.

Way back in 1976 I bought a 65 Impala coupe from my best friend's father on a payment plan for $600. It had a burned valve but still ran. I was too poor to own a car back then and it quickly fell into disrepair. Eventually the management of the apartment building where I rented told me I had to get it out of the…

When dealing with old project cars it's like staying with the monster you know, or go going for the monster you don't know. If there is a lot of structural rust you might be better off getting something more sound. You could get another Volkswagon engine and rebuild it on your coffee table while you decide. There are…

They will probably come out with a four door version, then follow it up with an SUV. Because that's what sells in large numbers. People don't want more power, they want more doors, and more seats.

The last place I worked the woman who did all our CAD drawings moved to the US from China back in the 80s. She told me now when she goes back to China all her friends and family are wealthy and retired (Retirement age for women in China is 50) and she is stuck here working till 65 for Social Security that may or may…

British Leland published a book with step by step guide on how to build your Spitfire into a club racer.

I believe Honda has been building Fuel Cell Vehicles for well over a decade now. This is not new, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_FCX

Stupid is as stupid does.

Any Alfa GTV you get for under $10,000 is going to more rust than actual car.

I thought that was basically what they were saying with "Have you driven a Ford lately"

It's time to drop the protectionist laws and see if dealerships can survive in a free market environment. We need to find out if people like haggling at dealerships, of if they prefer to buy direct from the manufacturer at a set price. My guess is that there's room for both.

Someone should tell him that he might sell a few more scarves if he parked the Porsche around the corner, or at least somewhere out of sight. The main thing I have against kids like him is that I wasn't one. As Warren Buffett put it he won the ovarian lottery.

This is what happens when giving money to politicians is protected as a form of free speech. Those with the most money speak the loudest, and drown out everyone else. Democracy for sale.

2nd Gear: China Is Pushing Eco Hard, Which Is Bad For Chinese Carmakers

GM might have a point. It's time to change those outdated laws that protect dealerships. These laws are relics of the past that need to be discarded.

Isn't the term "drunk Russian" redundant? Only because the drunk ones are killing off the sober ones with snowplows and the like is my guess.

You'd have to start with a platform that could be used as an econobox, minibus, small fastback coupe, sports-car, and small wagon, and go from there.

So the republicans are opposed to good old fashioned competition in the market place?

I know it's a Dino and not technically a Ferrari, but can't we get back to styling like this? There are Americans that like the engine in the middle.
