Yessss........

You do not need a separate display for the rear view camera, the display can be in the rearview mirror like many cars already had back in early 2010s.

I agree to the statement about not meeting your hero cars. Growing up on the other side of the pond, ‘60s Mustang was unattainable dream car. And now, while on the correct side of the pond, a co-worker purchases ‘66 or ‘68 Mustang. Looks awesome, sounds awesome. And then I take it for a spin... my dream come true....

Godwings had a version with EFI (PGM-FI, probably :) ) for 2 years, I think in ‘85 and ‘87. Then went back to carbs until new model GL1800 in ‘00.

That’s some good time managing. I guess I should start being less lazy :)

Let me guess, no wife, no kids? :)

Then it should be called MASCHINE

Booooring.... For my kids replaced the battery with 2x 18Ah batteries added scooter controller with variable accelerator pedal and so on... Top speed depending on the model (my kids have more cars [power wheels] than I do) is 8-10 mph. Run time is about 2 hours, that makes 16-20 miles range, I guess...

Take your star...

When I was 16 I was getting my motorcycle drivers license. Passed the written test no problem, but did not have a bike to do a driving test. A month later finally convinced one of my friends to lend me his motorcycle for the test. I’ve had everything scheduled for some date on the calendar. I wake up in the morning -

Mid 70s Jaguar? :D Or any other brit?

Ignition switch recall?

1980 Mercedes 500SLC aka homologation special”. Aluminum body panels, gray market import, high compression engine. Looked like a barn find in one of insurance auctions, cheapened out and was out bid by not that much. Still kicking myself of missing a chance to have one in my garage.

At this point it all depends on the condition. In ‘71 they lost some HP due to the lower compression ratio, but gained better gearbox, better rear end some body updates.

Actually, Opel ran out of single color taillights for GT in 1973 so had to switch to Manta taillights until end of production.

Mmmmm... Opels... There was one in my garage..... I’ll see if I can find it....

Well, it started out with an old and rusted out Ford Fiesta. When someone tried to do a prank and turn it around by carrying the back end around, they simply ripped a wheel arch with a piece of rear quarterpanel out. Boy was I pissed. Then there was an old rusted out Honda Prelude with holes in the floor, trunk, and

Wasn’t there an issue (might be only a rumor) with one of the original Cobras? One got damaged long time ago and got a quarter of the chassis replaced as a result. Someone found that damaged quarter of the chassis (apparently with a VIN) in a junk yard and built a new car around it. So now 2 cars exist with identical

We have M5 Grand Touring, the one with the leather seats. The problem is that the leather is perforated, so the “moisture” still gets inside and is quite hard to clean.

I second Mazda5 choice. We have one in our household and are very happy with it. Did MazdaSpeed3 front brakes, rear JB Racing sway bar and it corners better than my Audi. I will not discuss rust issues while living in Chicagoland....
