I haven’t had extensive experience with them, but the first time I drove a car with a 6 speed I was very excited before and very underwhelmed after.

They need to take a more holistic approach to safety, we have the crash standards that everybody uses when advertising their cars, and a big slab sided vehicle built like a tank does better in those tests, so we get big, slab sided vehicles with a tank turret to see out of. Peds and cyclists are getting hit by said…

Yeah, the last part of my commute to work is through our town’s small urban center. Every corner has a light and speed limit is 25-30. And yet, the past few years, once a week or so I see the remnants of an accident where one car or more is completely spun around and off the road, always by an intersection. Have to…

I almost went there, very refreshing to hear it doesn't just need "a tune up" or plug wires, or some other cheap and easy fix to make it run like new.  

While this would be a cool little beastie if restored to stock or stockish specs, it would not be cool enough to justify the effort even if the price was free (or here’s $200 to haul it away). Tons of work and unobtanium parts.

The Tiger would be one of them, also other V-8 powered sports and sports racing cars that saw limited production on or around the time of the Cobra. Devin SS, TVR Griffith for example.

Apparently Fiat was the car to buy in the inventory crisis, as they are still trying to move cars from two years ago.

Not a Canuck, but lifelong admirer of 50s and 60s sports cars and sports racers.  I had never heard of it either, have heard of a lot of the Cobra's less well known cousins,  but definitely not this one.

Ohhhh Nnnnnnnoooo! license plate on the internet! We might as well just put seller’s pic on a milk carton, he is as good as gone.

I didn’t forget the high belt lines and poor rear visibility, CVTs and highly stressed small turbo engines, that was part of the “none of the stuff you didn’t” I mentioned but didn’t list. But yeah that is part of why I love thee the 90s too. I was a Nissan guy, had a first generation SE-R, followed by a 99 Maxima SE…

Elsewhere I told the story of looking at one of these in the late 80s, I described it as looking much worse than this one, however, the much more descriptive term would have been “looked like a dog fight took place inside it” which fits perfectly with what I vaguely remember.

This is the correct answer--nice price--for somebody else

It was maybe ‘87 or ‘88 there was a used one, not more than 4-5 years old, on a janky little gravel used car lot not far from my first home. It looked way worse than this one, they wanted $6,000 for it back then, and I thought, “wow, I could actually buy a Maserati”. I didn’t then, and I probably wouldn’t now, and…

Though I have kind of gotten used to them, the constant barrage of terms like beautiful associated with the K-G has always kind of baffled me.  Looks pretty dumpy and frumpy for a sports car.  I think the new Supra looks better in person than in the pics, surprisingly small and tidy.

This is not an easy a question as people make it out to be. Yes the police don’t need to chase someone down over a traffic stop. Most jurisdictions have put guidelines in place to restrict their use (as they should in my opinion). However, what if police never chased, as seems to be the suggestion by some here.  More…

You hit on an interesting phenomenon, I think what is considered old collector car has changed quite a bit since I was young. When I was in college there was a gal that still daily drive a TR3 in town as a daily driver. It looked ancient and of another era. Was about 25-30 years old at the time, same as your 57 Chevy.…

Looking at the pictures of this thing reminds me that 90s cars were the best cars. Everything you needed and nothing you didn’t. Reliable, airbags, power windows and locks, good HVAC, and since it is a Honda you can almost feel how the switches click silky smooth like butter through the pictures.

No, they built them LHD for export.  With a few limited exceptions they sold a lot more British sports cars over here than at home.

That is my concern as well. I have been looking for an old British autocross car because I belong to an old British car club. If this were closer to me I would take a serious look at it. While the targa would make room for my helmeted head, I am very concerned about how it affects structural integrity.

No, it just needs spark plugs or maybe plug wires, or some other cheap and easily installed part, but the seller is just too busy and would rather sell the car at a loss than make the easy fix, that is the way Craigslist works, it is a buyers paradise out there, honest...
