It would have to be the Porsche Panamera. That would be the salvation of the platform.

It kills me that they built such an ugly car around what must be one of the most beautiful marques in the world. Sure it has all the specs, but I am not happy about it.

I trust the breaks are not brought to you by Toyota.

@Adam Spano: A couple of years back Sports Illustrated had a chart comparing racing cars and their costs. They estimated a contemporary F1 car to cost $23 million. By comparison a NASCAR car was some where around $375,000. Now it is true that market for used F1 cars is pretty constrained. The average…

Simply, there never has been a better time to buy a Toyota.

Unless you make film yourself, and are pretty decent at it, then it would be hard to criticize. Nice work. There is so much truly lame content out there film or not, why pick on these guys?

3 Speed Studebaker Lark VI on the column. Which had decent enough synchros that I could shift up and back down through the gears with out a clutch.

@FightingChance: Wow, that's a frightening image. Sort of like the Michelin Man but in color and with food! Fiberglass on fiberglass

Yeah, why have Michaelangelo's David when you can have the Bob's Big Boy statue. They are after all sculptures.

Seems incomprehensible that springs would even work! It is a total mystery to me how all of the functions that have to occur (not just opening the valve and closing it) to make an engine work at that speed. Time, indeed, must be relative.

@audifan7: The SL is a roadster. I learned that from my insurance policy.

@Nurburgring: He is typing a reply on Jalop.

My sails are at salute by this zephyr (no not the Mercury). This vintage Italian iron, from whose ever house, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lancia, Alfa (even Fiat, well at least the 8V) hardens the spar. No, if the cash was at hand, I would find a place in the garage for it.

@fuhteng: It goes with "by it now"...

I have to say Crack Pipe, because I would have to be smoking one to think I could afford it.

Open wheeled racing? Is it just me or do those wheel look shrouded?

@duurtlang: Don't forget the Aston Martin Cygnet...

Wrong, any modification is an improvement. This thing makes me think of 80's big hair glam rock. It is just so wrong. But a bull bar, is kind of like a training bra in an icky sort of way.

@Ralph Wiley Is Poised: I believe I was wrong and you are correct. Thanks for catching it. Yes, the engine in that car was terrific, the shifter was a little iffy, resulting in a lot more post South Bend machining then I think was specified.

I had a flat head 6 Continental engine in my first car. 1960 Studebaker Lark VI 2 door (dare I say Coupe). Three on the column. I loved that car and still regret the day I sold it. BTW, the front seats folded back all the way even with the back for the double bed like experience. Perfect for drive in theaters.
