    I watch, infrequently, to see the wrecks. But, all the good wrecks are shown on highlight films so I don’t have sit, bored witless, watching the round-and-round waiting for a good crash. NASCAR has always been only about on-track fender bashing, crashes, and fist fights in the pits.

    1st gear in an old Bug will hold any hill you will find in the USA on paved, marked roadway.

    Sort of like the “good old days” of the 1960s and 1970s in endurance and rally: “To finish first, first you have to finish”. This was true of NASCAR as well. Builders, makers and privateers, primary engineering focus was on “going the distance” because nothing on a car was as reliable as today. I seem to remember Indy

    Poor Freddie. His comments about 1970s Porsches prove that he never owned a 1969 Jaguar XK-E fixed head. I bought mine new and drove it for 6 years and only one thing broke, ever...an alternator diode plate which did not disable the car. The engine went 109,000 miles before I had it overhauled than I drove the car to

    So it would start, run, and go 100,000 miles with only oil changes?

    I had a 924 and I always thought it was a cool 2-liter sports car. Same for original BMW Z3's. Nostalgia: I grew up in the 1960's with a mix of muscle cars, hot rods, and 1.5-2.0 liter English sports cars and 356 Porsche’s and the first 911's were 2 liter cars. Anyway, I am not interested in unusable horsepower,

    I would never buy an ordinary used car from an individual, only a dealer. Special interest/collector cars need to be taken to a mechanic expert in that car. Buying a clunker to clunk around in? Take it to a shop and buy a bit of mechanic time for inspection. NO MATTER WHAT the car needs to be put up on a lift for a

    How about the range of a Range Rover...and all the other SUVs? I often find very puny range limits due to small fuel tanks. A “capable” SUV ought to have at least a 600 mile range and 1000 miles is the gold standard. But, 1000 miles is mostly only possible with pickups with auxilliary tanks. If they would put 40

    Sort of UGLY....they should have copied a “timeless design” like Range Rover or Land Cuiser. Instead the Juked it up.
