I’m going to need one of those De Tomaso branded whips for...uhhh...things.

Correct answer is this 1963 MB220SEb for sale in Houston for $73,500

Got that backwards.  The 426 is the rare one.  Its got a hemi brah

Spoken as a hot hatch owner, this would be worth having just to be able to tell somebody that you drive a benz and then see their face when you pull around in a bright yellow cross between a golf and type r.

So I didn’t really let this one get away, but my father didn’t listen to the sage advice of a 15 year old.

Real world price difference of up to $10k between the GTI and the R? When I got my 16 last October I got it off the lot for $22730 + TTL and negotiated all online. Same dealer wanted $40k before TTL for the R and wouldn’t move. Obviously I didn’t get a highly optioned model, but did get the lighting package and I…

This exact one has a reserve not met at $50k on BaT last week.

This exact car had a reserve not met on BaT a couple weeks ago at $50k. I’m not sure why the seller would think he is more likely to find a potential buyer on CL for a very niche car, but I guess GLWS.

2nd Gear: Don’t agree with this take. As somebody with a higher education and good income, if I’m statistically less likely to be a burden to the insurance company, I shouldn’t pay as much. These are not arbitrary data points to “screw the poor”. If you have a lower education/income you are more likely to put your car…

I too wish the BBC would quit telling me about Theresa May

I was there with my 86 cab! Really fun event with some amazing cars. The morning of there was a graffiti run where about 50 or so of the cars drove around to different murals to take shots. Here are a couple of the shots.

The market on these has been even crazier than other collectible cars. Concours condition would’ve been about $300k ten years ago and is now ~$1.3mm. This seems even more amazing because all of the Porsche’s and Ferrari’s that have gone off were just coming into the time of being classics. This was a classic when the…

3rd Gear: This is a bit confusing to me as it doesn’t seem like the dealer would have had the final burden over overpaying. Just like the manufacturer passed their price increase on to the dealer, wouldn’t the dealer have passed their’s on to the individual consumer? In essence the $335mm is actually a windfall to the…

They refer to bikers as bikeys as well. I’m not talking about cyclists. Harley riders in gangs...called bikeys.

“I have had enough and realise I cannot work with you, the people I employ, a moment longer.”

All I can think of is the Seinfeld bit about how he hates painting his apartment because every time he know it get a little smaller.

Makes since to me. Of course you should take away driving from the people who don’t give a shit about driving first.

I did manage to stupidly go from 3rd to 2nd under maximum acceleration on a mustang early in my driving days. Twisted both axle shafts. Young and dumb can be expensive.

I become further suspect of the EPA’s MPG rating process when the 4WD version of a vehicle gets better mileage than the 2WD.

Hot take: Jeep will sell more of these than any other hellcat product and it may eliminate the Challenger and almost certainly Charger HC’s if they can’t get engine production up
