Fuck Brian France. If there is ONE THING drivers need a green light to comment on it is safety.

It never ceases to amaze me that people think because they can, they should. I ‘ve been building cars for quite a few years, and a few have been more than I need to handle, even if I could. With age come temperance, or some such reality. Man’s got to know his limitations.

Not surprising seeing as how an Escalade + Angry Wife with golf club was also too much.

Maybe he should have used a driver...

This one is worth it ONLY if you plan on doing your own work. Otherwise, you’d be much better off buying one that’s (mostly) done.

You’re kidding, right? Because only someone who had no idea what the classic car market was doing right now would even ask this question.

An engine that isn’t so great yet powered the fastest car in the world.

Wow, Princes death has got you torn up. ;-) (I get it)

At least in my opinion McLaren is just freaking killing it with their design philosophy right now. All their cars look great and there is a commonality between all of them that it is instantly recognizable as McLaren. Yet at the same time each one is also relatively easily distinguished from one another visually.

Personally, I’d have to choose the McLaren 570S. For $180K, you get supercar looks, supercar speed, supercar engine, supercar gearbox, carbon tub, and butterfly doors.

I could go back in time, tell myself to buy a TDI before the scandal broke... Nah. If I had a time machine I'd do much cooler stuff than that.

We’re a little more than a month from the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500, and ahead of the big race, ex-Jalop current Road & Track editor Sam Smith drove five amazing vintage cars at the famed speedway. You should read his story, it’s full of great words and great photos.

Oh gawd that is going to sound glorious.

He did hang onto it. It is mine now and I have no intention of selling.

my dad had a 69 MGB GT in that weird pale yellow color. He never quite admitted that he loved cars, and couldn’t wrench at all, but it was impossible not to love that car. Sweet to look at and sweet to drive (when it did).

Like you I got into wrenching via the Maxima community, but it was my dad’s 1967 MGB roadster, similar in color (but not equipment) to the one below.

Definitely my dad. He was a diesel mechanic, and was always a big car nerd. One of his proudest accomplishments, was that at the tender age of 4, he had taught me how to identify basically every car on the road by the taillights.

OMG...I saw that top pic and....
