Screw the McLaren. I am more interested in the red Lola T70 roadster in the fourth picture. Looks like an ex-John Surtees 1965 T70. Need moar info please!

I think GM should borrow a page out of Mazda’s playbook, or maybe even the whole book. This is class and shows that Mazda is customer driven, unlike GM who we saw in another article, took no initiative to settle things for that poor GMC Canyon owner. This is why I have only owned Japanese cars for the past 30 years.…

AshleyMadison? Torch, your cheatin’ ass! Never knew Torch was a swinger.

Years ago, I had a new 1987 VW Scirocco 16v. Well, both the Gen I and Gen II Sciroccos had front vent wing windows, which could easily be bashed in and the car opened up. Also, thieves learned to pry the door handle and voila, the door would open. Anyway, I belonged to a VW organization with a monthly newsletter. Some…

Good stories. My faith in humanity has been restored. You had compassion on the homeless person and your sense of decency helped the Volvo victim. I would have done the same. Now, for that 20 something year old jerk who breaks into my car to steal stereo parts, well, I have this Louisville Slugger just waiting to hit…

I wish for once that someone would qualify what “street racing” means. Is it a race from a dig and bang off a few gears from a stoplight? Is it a ricer in a Honda Civic racing and weaving in and out of traffic on a crowded highway? Is it two serious racers who either go from a dig or a roll race until one is the…

First I read of the horrors of fixing an aluminum 2015 Ford F150. Then, I read this article about how a customer got screwed over by GM. Then, I read stories about fires in Jeep Cherokees. This of course reminds me why I stopped buying American cars in 1975. Even by 1975, I was fed up with American car manufacturer…

This repair reminds me of the trouble Lockheed went through making the tooling for the titanium on the SR-71. Sounds very complicated and expensive to fix these F150s.

I love happy endings.

Since I am a victim of my cars being broken into and stuff stolen, I keep having this dream of standing outside my car with a baseball bat while the perps are inside the car. I hope this Firebird can be recovered. A person’s dream is in that car. As for the thieves, well, hitting grand slams with a baseball bat sounds…

Amen to that.

Doug, you are so demure in your interviews. Why did I come away from this feeling that these drivers are not all that sure themselves of some of the terms?

I currently have a Dodge Challenger Hellcat on order. Of course, I got one with the 6 speed Tremec, right out of the good, old Viper. Sadly, if you lurk on any of the Hellcat sites, the cars that are in demand have the A8 transmission. Yes, the A8 is faster and yes, it actually tracks better at the drag strip, but the…

Cute. I like the Gulf GT 40 livery on the the first one. An electric version might just be a hoot to scoot around in.

Agreed. That is why I said that it along with American Hot Rod were tolerable. I actually watched them each week. But, both were a precedent for the genre of auto reality shows we have today. Somewhere, the script from “keeping up with the Kardashians” got mixed into auto themed shows and the result is cheesy,…

Wags... good one!

I am glad that I am not the only one who despises automotive themed reality shows. I hate the fake drama that is created and where everything is contrived. All of this really started with American Chopper and the Teutels as well as American Hot Rod with Boyd Coddington. Those programs were at least tolerable. Then the…

Umm, there was a 6 day war. There is a huge difference between 1967 and 2015. And there is a difference between Hezbollah trying to make incursions as compared to Egypt and Syria attacking Israel. You seem rather naive and out of touch with reality.

Well said!

Yes, Smokey said a lot of things. He also said that there was no need for any engine over 2 liters in a passenger car. And, Smokey was all about horsepower when he raced in NASCAR. His use of the Big Block Chevy or “Mystery Motor” in 1963 and later in the 1966 Chevelle was all about horsepower my friend.
