Not a bad sequel to the original, one of my favorite movies... I mean cars.

I have an S60 R that is a couple of years old with a 6 speed manual. Can you spell F-U-N?

@geschmidtt: I found a company that is building a repro. Very cool.

@bygeorge: Absolutely, that they had molds already, and given the ease of working with the material, it is a wonder if they didn't.

@bygeorge: Not to change the subject, but I find this fastback Corvette (Corvair) to be marvelously sexy. [www.54classicchevy.com]

This is the first Cadillac I think I would like to own. If I had to choose between wagons, probably the AMG E55 6.3 wagon, but this is a damn close second.

My pot belly...

I used to appraise real estate decades ago. One time I was inspecting this house that had this god-ugly, green silk wall paper, which the owner claimed costs tens of thousands of dollars. She expected that it was going to add at least that value to the house if not more. I told her that I would probably be reducing…

@Michael Hartzler: Not my problem, a neighbors... Spare me.

From the same designers that brought you!

@stayingclassy: Wow, that is coincidental!

@Alejandro Barrios: @Froggmann hates Hondas: Ditto

@sailboatfool: I don't know what technology will win out in the long run, but I am glad we moved on from steam power.

@vicariousrider: According to my parents, who were at the time living at a ranger station 40 miles south of Winslow on a dirt road; my grandmother and a friend of my mom's were speeding down the road with my mom in labor, when they hit a large rock and put a hole in the oil pan. I was almost born in the shade beneath…

Hysterically, and this is true, I was born on a corner in Winslow Arizona on Route 66. The Dr. office was in an old motel (which is unfortunately no longer there) and Route 66 went right by the room I was born in. I think this must be the reason I am a car guy.

I have to say that over the last few years of Cadillac has produced some of the ugliest cars ever built. People complain, rightly, about Bangle, but who ever convinced that the latest crop of Cadillac should have ever been built.

@Xelmon: Actually, the new U200 is pretty cool. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet, but they look like fun.

Mogs rule.

That is just sick. Think AMG 6.3 black edition...

In 1974 I worked in a machine shop with a guy who claims to have worked on the 917 engine early in its development. He told me that the engine kept stalling out at 6,000 RPM or so, it was supposed to reach 8 or 9k red line. The engineers worked for hours trying to figure out what the problem was. It turned out that…
