The dollar signs in "CRO$$ROAD" are an appropriate (if unintentional) touch...

There is still no license process in mind, let alone an available license right now. If there was, I would have had a license three years ago. Instead, no one except CNN and a handful of schools are granted exceptions. Meanwhile in Germany a friend of mine can apply for a license through an already in-place process…

The Challenger Hellcat is 11-20% Jalop.

I had to switch browsers and find this comment again to star it. Worth it.

41-50% from a three-on-the-tree, carbureted Galaxie. Hrmph. I still need one though.

That was more a sighing remark on the fact that, of all the booths and the many, many booth workers in the entire show, the one that Tavarish references and the one that I remember best both happen to be Alfa. So compared to the hundreds of other women doing the same job at the other booths, yes, those unfortunate…

"...skeezy dudes trying their best to hide their comb-overs and use their pickup artist lines on the models at the Alfa booth..."

11-20% for the E39 530i M-Pack

Power, performance, and fun perhaps, but not the licensing to the Black Keys' "Lonely Boy".

I'm fairly sure a ship full of Land Rovers could fall into a puddle and the cars would be useless.

Well, have they?

Interesting topic. It also reminds me of something I realized today, which is that certain sedans are rapidly merging into the crossover coupe genre. Namely, this gargantuan creation:

Actually, the import ban in the US was the product of Mercedes lobbyists who wanted to preserve exchange rate-related profits and prevent buyers of new vehicles from purchasing them overseas. No politician ran for election on the platform that he or she wanted to impose a ban on importation of any vehicle newer than…

Of all the Mustangs, the Boss isn't that bad on the interior front, if only because certain parts aren't there.

It is certainly spectacular, and it may be one of the last major finds from that era (at least until everything gets lost again), but thanks to the influx of rampant (but non-nostalgic) collectors in emerging markets, I'm fairly sure we'll have plenty of barn finds (or perhaps desert warehouse finds...) in the future.

And that's why it's the perfect argument for the modern American car. I love to make fun of the technological inability of American manufacturers in the 1970s through to the 2000s, but like most technology, the future isn't in the industrial mechanism of East Coast factory towns, but in the perpetual sun and warmth of…

Hmm.

Sure. Sometimes they even last a whole winter. I knew a guy who bought one new in the late Sixties, and it lasted all of three years before it was rusted out beyond repair.

Welcome to modern wagons. I'll stick with the W124 I used to have. That thing could somehow manage to fit things that looked bigger than the car in the back.

Admittedly, the 4-Series Gran Coupe is intended to be practical. But exactly how practical this car is far exceeds any imaginable expectations. Having spent a lot of time around some 428i and 435i press cars with my 110+ pounds of film equipment, I can safely say that these are some of the most practical, and at the…
