Meanwhile, on board…

It won't be long before you'll be able to buy a Kia K900 for 20 grand new from the dealership.

I hope the powers that be see the light and keep the Warthog. That thing is just bad ass. Aircraft equivalent of the Incredible Hulk.

Of course this begs the question, if Kia can't sell a $60,000 luxury car, how is Volkswagen going to sell a $70,000 one?

You want to shock me? Tell me the story about a hardworking history teacher or construction worker who worked and scraped and saved his way into buying a new Bugatti. Regale me with stories about his sacrifice and survival on generic macaroni and cheese. Not the fancy Kraft brand. I'm talking store brand you're so…

I saw Jeremy Clarkson's repair bill for the Grosser. That's a lot of money in the maintenance fund for bragging rights.

Heeeere squiddy, squiddy, squiddy!

Let me tell you people there is nothing in the world more liberating than driving a vehicle that you don't care about and announces that fact on outward appearance. I had a Chevy K5. It was in perfect working order, but had quite a few dents to go with the four inch lift kit. Tons of torque and big knobby tires…

7.) Marina City

I get my car washed at place called "We'll Clean" in Chicago and they have this picture hanging in the waiting room. I just sat there looking at it and marveling at what a simple, ingenious idea that was at a time when many roads weren't paved.

Plenty available on the used market!

My dad had a Cartier Edition of the boxy 90's Town Car. He still waxes poetic about how great it was. As a kid on a learner's permit and a sports car nut, I couldn't grok what he was getting at. It didn't click for me until 25 years later when I was visiting my future in-laws in Sarasota, Florida. We drove to Palm…

I have yet to see a bumper-to-bumper aftermarket warranty that was worth a damn. They generally provide coverage for cars that are less than 10 years old and most cars of that vintage are already turnkey reliable. You'd be better off putting those premiums into a savings account for when a major repair becomes…

Absolutely nothing about what you've posted here is wrong, but it's important to note that, with rare exception, no car is an investment. Cars are "depreciable assets". A durable good. A tool for transportation. Big or small, luxury or economy, the all do the same thing.

As good as the next Phaeton will be — and the first one was quite good too — I just wonder whether Americans will ever warm up to such an expensive car with a VW badge.

Deusenberg.

No love for lifting bodies?

Gorgeous. Too bad they only made six of them. I'll just go for the paint scheme and wheels and do the interior in a nice, tasteful restomod. Find a nice LS6 to drop in there after letting the Lingenfelter boys work some magic.

Ohhhh. One day I will own a C2 or C3 Corvette with a custom Mako Shark paint scheme.

The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway has got NOTHING on the vast barren vistas of Nebraska. I've done I-70 and I-80 to Denver from Chicago and holy lord do they ever suck. Cruise control and audiobooks are survival tools.
