It does seem like an overall win for the Ford GT is not outside of the realm of possibilities. Remember the Dalmas-Lehto-Sakiya McLaren F1 GTR from 1995.

Red looks good in the snow

I can’t even imagine how much hand-over-hand was happening in there.

Well, if the same team that fixed the dual clutch transmission gets on this, I’m sure they will have it fixed in no time at all...

The holes in my convertible top say, “Thank you.”

Mazda, please build us a rotary-powered sports car with a hybrid electric system to fill in for the lack of low end torque! Please!

I did a brake job on my 2001 Miata that turned into 2-day job when first I discovered that I had bought the wrong size pads. I cut myself some slack on that one because I bought the car used so I didn’t really know the exact specifications. Anyway, I was able to get the correct pads from a local auto parts store and…

Great story. Thanks for sharing. When you say you moved on, did you buy another classic car?

In college I drove a 1990 Toyota Camry with power door locks. Sometimes on the highway or when going around turns, the doors would unlock themselves without anyone touching the button. After a few months of this happening, the interior dome light started to go on at the same time. Eventually we realized the problem…

You learned how to drive in a Camry? So did I! 1988 base model, baby! It was one of the least interesting cars in my high school parking lot, but it was always available when someone needed a ride because there car wasn’t running.

The Miata people are going to come after you, but only in twos.

I am reminded of this short article from The New England Journal of Medicine.
