Stories like this are what makes me love car culture. Hopefully the car gets passed down and the story continues. Also, those 80's Toyotas are looking real good.

Honestly I’ve started to use eBay alot more than Amazon. Amazon has everyone conditioned to think they have the best price, but I frequently find the same item on eBay for less. Ex: I just bought diamond paste on Amazon for 9.99, I checked after my purchase and it’s 4.99 from China on ebay. The third party seller on…

What if he’s working on a Smart Voltron?

Outside looking in, it would seem that they didn’t have to innovate to make the sales goal. A decades old product sold fine so why change it? It also seems like their base wouldn’t accept change so they didn’t risk it, giving them a catch 22.

I wonder if this is a test bed to see if they can launch the Miata restoreation project here. Even a clean example of the millenia will likely require an extensive refresh. They get experience, then bam Mazda hits us with the program.

It would seem the bubble is leaving Detroit iron and shifting to the 80's and 90's. This is a worrying trend for anyone looking to pickup cheep fun 90's cars.

I appreciate the response and hope you don’t think that I was being overly critical of the story. It was a big disconnect for me to take on when hearing that a team went from a five hundred dollar budget to one that I’m sure is infinitely larger.

I took a few minutes to find it, his name is Will Hardeman. The announcers track side said his family owns a dealership and he seems to be connected to Cag Austin. It took a story that was about a normal guy underdog and made it about someone that has the backing of a dealership.

I’m thinking lots of money changed hands. I was at the race at Cota last year and the track announcer was talking up a Texas based driver that went amateur to pro after doing a track day at Cota. Being that the guys was older, 30's, I was impressed and thought maybe it could be my path. Then the bubble was burst when…

Was he in a V6 Camaro recently?

Is it an homage with a twist worthy of praise, or a bootleg that’s not as good the original? That is the true question for me.

What gets me is that the thieves don’t care about what damage they do. It’s not like they stand by the road and say “What’s the safe jack point for this car?”.

It’s bad enough with people that can’t drive Suvs and crossovers without trying to kill everyone, but now imagine being killed in silence.

Shame on Ford for building an almost rally car, and not telling people it will have Ferrari type service cost.

It’s crazy that I’ve heard of it and also totally forgot about this piece of history.

I hate this car. It looks like an accountant said “find a way to shave 10 percent off the sheet metal on the 86, but make it look like we made it more sporty.” It’s a big step backwards for their almost sporty image. Not to mention the weird I’m almost a manual shifter. Taking cues from the wec powertrain is…

I love this car. It’s drop dead beautiful. To me it fits the new Bruce Wayne. Think about it, he is supposed to be beyond rich, so why wouldn’t he drive a custom one of a kind. It’s highly impractical, probably requires a whole mechanic crew to tend to it, and can’t be parked anywhere. It’s an I’m richer than you…

I am so unbelievably bummed out to see that COTA will no longer host the race. Today was a healthy crowd, not as good as last year when it was combined with IMSA, but man this takes the wind out of my sails. Hopefully the crowd comes out tomorrow to send it off with a bang and not a whimper.  

This idea of a reissue has been killing me for over a decade. I wish other car companies got behind this idea of a reissue.

Biggest catch 22 I’ve seen in a while. Honda seems to be getting better as the season progress, yes I consider finishing a race in the points and not blowing up progress. They need more data and yet no one is willing to gamble on them. I hope they get a chance because I’m not sure I can handle another manufacturer…
