I was all No Dice on this until I read about it more.  I thought it was some overland user mods, but as a factory vehicle it becomes much more interesting.  With the hold Overland craze as a lifestyle thing I could see this bringing pretty big bucks on Bring a Trailer.  Not my thing but tentative nice price as this…

On the nose, some things are better conveyed via text than video and vice versa. I took prefer what one would describe as general information articles or comparison tests by reading, but I love fix it videos. Will add that people all learn differently, so some things work better for some, while other methods ork…

Agree about the Altimax tires, I usually shop around for tires, but when the Altimax's on my wife's Honda wore out  (after a good long run) I just replaced them with another set.

Not old enough to be interesting, nor new enough to be desirable. Nineties Mercedes styling to me was very meh. This is new enough to be a complex car with lots of electronics to go wrong and plenty old enough to have them fail. I am a player at maybe half the price if I had a thing for 90s Mercedes, which I certainly…

It’s actually quite a handsome “transition styling” between the excesses of the late fifties and the more restrained and clean styling of the mid sixties. I like old European sports cars, but this looks something you could take the whole family out on a Sunday afternoon, a great “ice cream car”.  And you can stick it…

I remember when these came out, created quite a stir as the most expensive car in the world, I think I even saw a short bit on it on the nightly news. A little over 500 built in a decade, that is hand built exclusivity I guess. I never thought these were terrible looking, though as I look at the pics, lowering the…

That is where I am at. I ride a few days a year when I won’t get too hot or cold going to work. If you live in the Midwest your nice days don’t occur that often. I am not going to ride in cold or snow, nor am I going to ride if I end up melting on the way to work (don’t care so much about the way home) nor in the…

We have bike trails, or rather trails that don’t allow cars. You are right, strollers, people with small kids, bikers going fast, people walking dogs. I do not like to bike on bike trails and get nasty looks from people as I said I was coming up on them or nasty looks if I just gave a wide berth and didn’t say…

Rules for Riding in my Jet Car with the Air Intake Right Behind (?) the Driver and Passenger:

You are right the GT6 fits the bill better, I think they are really pretty cars.

$60,000 E type!!!

Since we have switched from Jags to Triumphs, the poor man’s E-type.

If you are trying to get out of the rolling debt thing and start saving money this is the car for you, Warren Buffet and Dave Ramsay would be proud of you for buying this for cash or a short term loan and living without a car payment and taking that money and putting it into savings and investments. Also not likely to…

Go out and shop for a car these days and see what $7K will get you. Yes it is a little older, but as a guy who daily drove a 1999 Maxima for about 12 years followed by a 2002 Lexus for the last 8, this era is peak Japanese reliability, and you will be better off with this than a 6 year old Kia (which may not be a…

Yes, “Right Stuff” era Corvettes the astronauts raced around Florida in have historical significance, the historical significance of what Alan Shepard drove as an older dude, not so much.  I don’t think it adds much if any to the value of the car, I am at overpriced by the factor of about 10x.

First thing that struck me is the color. Lots of the British versions in red, green, and blue, have never seen one in ruby red metallic (?), don’t know what colors Innocenti used, but I don’t really think this one looks very good on it.

Exactly, the main appeal on this type of thing is saying “I built a car myself”. This thing will not impress you or others, either looking at it or driving it, as much as a nice Porsche or Corvette from the same price bracket.

Exactly, if you want an R107 there are always several for sale on CL and Facebook even in my flyover state, they survive at amazing rates, not perfect, but very nice ones for somewhere just a little north of $10k.

I don’t hate this nearly as the rest of the commnetariot here does, lookswise it carries things off pretty well. I read the headline first and saw the picture after, my expectations were very low, that always helps. but one of the coolest parts of old cars isn’t just the exterior, it is the how it looks from the…

I am a sucker for little European cars, I am as sucker for old cars that look clean and stock and a little worn in vs. worn out, or modified, or restored to better than new. I have never owned an Italian car, or a real engines car, but both on the bucket list. I like a car I can tinker with a little bit.
