"Why Can’t Real Cars Look This Epic?"

Miles was the man.

Apart from cheap tin and horrible electrical system what could go wrong. Oh yeah, everything. I would just keep the V6 and put in a kit car, where I could at least start with something shitty that I understood, and not find yet another component that has to be replaced 80% into it.

@hovermike: Win!

God, is Gawker the unofficial PR department for Apple (there is no escaping Apple shilling on every Gawker channel). Guys there are a thousand different telephones out there that have that $10 Indonesian camera component built into them.

@stephdumas: Thanks for that. I knew about the Avanti site, but not about Studebaker Motor Company, which sounds like it may be Kaput. Too bad.

Why can't we resurrect Studebaker here. Its designs were ahead of its time, so maybe the time has come. Yesterday's tomorrow is here today... or something like that. Let's here it for Raymond Loewy.

@tonyola: That is a grave error, it looks more like some contemporary Russian car. But I will give you the fact that it is fugly.

I bought the wife a 1974 Peugeot 505 wagon in 1996, because she thought it was so cute. It nearly killed me when the brakes failed driving in San Francisco. I gave it to our mechanic (for free), who didn't want it, but I offered to throw in a good bottle of wine, so he grudgingly took it.

Cool to see big heavy cars like Volvo and Mercedes racing. Also, you have to wonder how many idiot spectators were killed or ignominiously crushed? Didn't their mommies explain to them that playing in the road where there are cars being driving way to fast for the road surface and just barely under control (if you…

I put a few thousand miles on a 1960 190d years back. The car had well over 300k when I started driving it. It was rock solid. Close the door, sounded like a vault. No rattles. The engine sounded like a sewing machine. What is there not to like.

With this price and in this market, it is all about refinement. There are lots of ways of cramming big horse power into little light weight toys, but is it a complete package, or is it just an insanely powerful pig with lipstick.

@Sapper54: The 15 year old was the baby's father.

My favorite car, the Ferrari Lusso.

@zeeboid: Ironically, Graham never won at Spa, but Damon, his son, won there twice.

@titansfan78: Because, how do I put this sensitively, he is 'special'...

Shouldn't your mother be driving a Tatra?

An interesting perspective in respect to political will. Today corporations profit off infrastructure that they have little interest in paying for. That line about the American way of reinvesting profit into future seems laughable when the future is all about quarterly earning statements and executive salaries. If…

Honor the deal and let "Carma" handle the rest.
