Our '63 Deville is precisely as described here. lol

As always, my answer to everything is The Simeone Museum in Philly- They have a '75 Alfa T33 TT 12 in their Targa Florio section, which appears to be the sister car to the one pictured. I think they have a different mirror on theirs, IIRC it's mounted vertically on the front while the one pictured above looks angled. …

Don't lose your hat in the blower... lol

I was just about to say that. lol

I've said it before and I'll say it again- if you're in Philly, go to the Simeone museum. The original is gorgeous, and it's surrounded by so many other legendary cars. It's 5 minutes from the airport, so if you have a couple hours' layover, it's a great stop.

I always thought of it like the Ferrari/Lamborghini situation- one is for going very fast, one is for going very fast and screaming, "WOOOOOOO!"

You should see a Sonett I- we had the only one in the U.S. here in the showroom when Saab was bought by Spyker on loan from Bill at Sports Car Specialists in Delaware, it was TINY. Power to weight was pretty decent though- little 3 cylinder two stroke, it was quick in its day.

I can confirm that the Daytona Coupe is effing loud- the Simeone museum here in Philadelphia has one (I think it was Phil Spector's) and on demonstration days it's got to be the loudest thing there- and this is a place full of pre-war racing cars, one-off hill climbers and GT40s .

That is exactly what I was just thinking.

I had that happen in my 03 Alero- I had a bunch of crap on my key chain and I was driving like an asshat (I was 20, I'm sorry) and I went over a dip in the road fast enough to catch air- when I came back down the ignition shut off and I had no idea what was happening. If I weren't already thinking I was about to break…

I'm constantly thankful for growing up in a household with a bunch of shit that broke at random. If I wanted to take one of the cars out, I had to figure out what was wrong and fix it. If the water heater was broken, my stepfather and I replaced it. If I 'accidentally' put holes in the wall with a BB gun, I not only…

I was 16 at the time, so that may have some bearing on it, but... I liked my BiTurbo. I paid next to nothing for it, it was weird, it was comfortable, and it was a lot quicker than it had any right to be for the minimal price. The late 90's were a weird time to be a budding gearhead if you didn't want a sport compact.

Good looker, but not a 2-stroke. Had a '68 95 (the two door hatch with seating for 7) and it had the same Ford V4. Much less fun than the 2-stroke variants that came earlier :)

Aww, he changed the tranny photo on the entry form page.

Whenever Bam's parents bring their Escalade in for service they apologize that it hasn't been detailed in a while- I told them last time, I'm just always happy to see it's still in one piece. They're super nice people- I think he's adopted.

When we first got the current body style CTS-Vs in for sale, they delivered two off the truck in an ice storm on a slight incline. We put them in gear, and the rear wheels just slowly spun at idle. Talk about low end torque... Summer tires are for summer.

Sure, but my point wasn't that it was the non-boring alternative, just that I'd have trouble finding all the body parts for that car here in the U.S. without a time constraint with a good budget, the movie made it seem like there was no budget and it had to be done ASAP in a country where classic American body parts…

Neither of those engines existed at the time this movie was made.

As near as I can tell from that, the car they got it out of wouldn't have passed in the first place. lol
