Counterpoint. There is no such thing as a bad convertible. On a sunny day, top goes down, smile goes up.

Maybe they all just picked the “European Griswold” edition... “Ruusty!”

Classic

Outrun must be a top 10 (old school is the best school?)

Link probably not needed for the Peter Gunn earworm, but here we go anyway!  I can feel the quarters leaving my pocket!

I’d like to think it’s a marketing ploy, but I have to agree. When they drop the manual option in new GTI that’s more of just a mid cycle refresh, you have to believe this is for real going away. Quite a shame. I taught the next generation (my kid) how to drive one, though she’s not really interested. I have two…

It’s funny how the BAT effect brings new cars into the “collector” spotlight. They take a chance on a low mile rare condition CRV, people flip out, bid it up, and then 6 more show up. I’m waiting for the next Honda Odyssey to come up after a recent low mile on sold for about $20k.

It’s cool, but I have a feeling we all run around with that one person in the crowd who would constantly call it a “Grand Pricks.”

Wondering about a BMW 3 series long roof or Mercedes wagon in this price range to fit 3 kids but still have some sporty appeal.

Yes! I’ve seen the mel gibson one.  There are some high level creators/artists out there.

Miniatures are a great way to have fun in the car hobby when garage space or budgets are otherwise constricted.

Take your star. Heroes don’t always wear capes.

“Gee Doc, I don’t know how that plug got stuck in my fuselage.”

fair and honest assessment.  Thanks for taking the time to share. 

Great writeup on the LC500. Yes, I was on the FJC forums for a few years and remember you from there (and here). You..don’t...remember...me? (Just kidding, I was a seldom poster there).
