Speak for yourself... I speak fluent SU and Rochester. I’m sure I could learn Carter.

Bristol on dirt sounds like a hoot. And Road America? Wow, I might actually start watching some NASCAR again... five laps in, so I miss the invocation and the Army propaganda...

Ah, but see, this one still has the original 10 kilos of coke in the spare tire well, from the original owner. It’s “classic coke!”

Here’s a crazy, pie-in-the-sky scenario: why stop to charge the cars at all? If you’re already doing long trains of autonomous EVs, wny not turn that lane of the Interstate into a giant slot-car track? Supply power to the cars to run them while in that lane, while at the same time topping up the battery. It doesn’t

1st: Bugatti can go away; it was a silly project to bring the name back in the first place. Lamborghini... do young boys still put posters of cars on their bedroom walls? Because that’s the only point I’ve ever seen to them. I guess we need them around, in the same way we need badly-behaved rock stars. (Can’t comment

I spent a large chunk of the mid-1990s working in a mom & pop garage/service station. I remember well the wheezy Excels and Sonatas, warmed-over Mitsubishi designs with the build quality of a Snap-Tite model, weeping oil out of every gasket and breaking door handles at an alarming rate.

I kinda like the idea, but I would rather see it on something smaller, and a more fully-realized conversion. Which means, it occurs to me, I would rather just buy an Isuzu Amigo...

Counterpoint: Hagerty has forgotten, and you may be too young to know, that 13 seconds was about an average 0-60 time in the mid-late 70s and early 80s... even a Ferrari 308 couldn’t break 10 seconds back then.

While I can’t condone the procrastination, I can understand dealing with a flawed car to keep the significant other happy. My wife went through several used cars in a couple of years before settling on a ‘96 Ford Explorer with the infamous 4R55E transmission. I knew about the transmission, and the tendency of Ford

Now that’s more like it!

Art of Rally is beautiful to look at, but I happen to know I’m terrible at driving games, so it would probably just frustrate me.

The tech is interesting, and I’m glad they’re focusing on driving feel, but does it have to look so angry? Performance cars these days are VERY SERIOUS and MAKE VERY SERIOUS FACES AT YOU to let you know they’re fast.

Pretty sure I had one as a kid. I know I had a Brat, but I seem to remember a LUV too. I think mine was even red.

Never saw that one. I was thinking of the old ‘60s-70s movies. Especially that love story for the ages...

It’d be worth more if it were still in the package...

Any and all of the early Herbie movies deserve a nod. (Buddy Hackett as a race mechanic? Come on... ) And Days Of Thunder, just because it takes itself oh so very seriously.

It looks like a Hot Wheels toy come to life. And I don’t mean that in a bad way.

I’m impressed that it can drive up that steep of a ramp.

Honestly, I’d WANT these to be brightly colored. Because I’m forgetful, and if they’re some obnoxious color, I’m less apt to drive off without them after using them.

I never noticed how bad the shutlines were on these until I saw someone else point it out a while back, and now it’s all I can see. And they’re all that bad. I was following a Model S the other day and the whole trunk lid was a quarter-inch off center.
