On the TD, yes it was 20 years out of date, but it was also the polar opposite of the big, numb cars that Detroit was selling in those days. Sports cars were cool, they were different. It was not the tweedy british wanna be nerd image they have now, they were considered way cool in the day. If you have ever driven…

You may be better off just driving the S2000 in your dreams. I have test driven one, on paper it was my dream car, light, agile, high revving engine. I think my expectations were just too high. I was disappointed. It was an AP1, it certainly moved when you revved it, but not as quickly as I expected. Wasn’t aware that…
Yeah, points for the sprints, I am ok with using them for qualifying, but when you can win points then it is another race in the season, except its not...
The one thing that has changed, back then mid-season was 8 races in and 8 races to go, now it is like 12 races in and 12 to go. I like F1, but the season running 3/4 of the year is just a little silly if you ask me
The xenophobes probably cross a lot on the Venn diagram with people who hate paying taxes. You who the best people are to pay your taxes, somebody else from somewhere else. Yay Tourists!
I live in the Midwest, for sure there is a portion of the population that is uncomfortable to hostile, but I have never seen anyone go off on somebody openly because they are speaking a different language. I know not exactly a scientific study, but sixty years of living in flyover country. Yes I have heard plenty of…
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…
