Sort of relevant answer from my current so called life. I was looking for a fun, cheap car to autocross, I ended up getting a Porsche 924, which I do kind of like, but I really wanted a first generation MR2 or a Fiat x1/9. Of course a month or so after my purchase a reasonably priced MR2 supercharged comes up. I have…

air-cooled flat twelve.

But were any owned by John Voight?

I definitely remember being a kid and thinking that how high the speedometer went meant the top speed of the car.

Considering that the one I linked to was (a) the second cheapest I could find in Europe with a running engine (the cheapest one was extremely high mileage), (b) located in Italy, the country with the most sold Alfa Romeos per capita, and (c) had done 72,700 miles, almost twice as much as the one in this ad? Nopes, not…

True, the pictures are too good for the "wife made me" ad, too. Usually those are the ones where they just pull a google maps image of their house and say "that silver blob there? That's the car."

As someone who loves Alfas, I still think this is CP based on what you’re getting for your money. But after looking at prices here in Europe (where the car would arguably be less rare), he’s not THAT far off. I found this one in Italy for 10,000€.

One stripe each?

I once had a new Dino 246GTS and a restored 1955 T-bird at the same time. The girls went for the T-bird every time. I’d go to a party and the place would empty out to come see it. Dino, eh.

Mercedes-Benz: Thanks for 100 years of competition. The 30 years before that were a little dull.

Alternate headline:

I picture two mustachioed men in bowler caps and formal wear sitting in high backed leather chairs before a roaring hearth sipping brandy from fine crystal. One, he wears a monocle, looks to the other and quite guffaws, “Say, Willigins, you were but the scandalous thought of your ne’er do well father, Lord…

I'm I the only one who thought it was James May in the picture?

Don’t be a silly ageist. Let me remind you that todays septuagenarian engaged in more, “against the norm” behaviors during the sixty’s and seventy’s then you will likely experience in your life time. Cops were different, sex was safe, drugs were a culture, three martini lunch was normal, and you could smoke…

Naw bro, im putting a waterfall in mine to capture the hydroelectric power running between the seats

Someone actually takes a supercar racing, and instead of a “You go boy”, you give them a “Poser!”... Ouch.

I think he’s just been trolling for months now. “Buy this BMW V12 instead of a Camry, it’s easy to maintain and inexpensive if you work on it yourself” (All day with special tools and a huge supply of replacement parts) “This interesting new car is ugly.” “Top 10 pairs of flip flops to wear when using a weed whacker.”

Ah, you’re right. I shouldn’t post this stuff because some of you might have seen it already. Fuck everybody else who hasn’t and comes here to see this stuff, it’s all about you. My bad for saving this for a few days so I could have something to post on days I’m working on longer stories.

Cougarman must have been pissed when he showed up to GM's head office only to realize that nobody was in trouble.
