I bought an XKR convertible a couple weeks ago. The other day I was getting gas when a little old lady (80ish) pulled up behind me in a lovely white Benz SEC. We’re talking like 4'10'’, curly grey hair, cardigan, the whole deal. She comes up, says ‘Wow, what a beautiful car, can I take a look?’ I tell her of course,…

I was leaving work in my noisy noisy 500 abarth, turning left across a really fast moving busy lane into a middle merging lane, to merge into another really busy lane. I get to the middle merging lane and notice the lane to my right is filled with a convoy of cobras. Being the area that it is, I have little doubt…

My wife and I are walking in to a brewery. She’s wearing a t-shirt with a BMW 2002 on it. As we enter, a guy sitting at the corner of the bar asks “Cool shirt, do you have a 2002?”

Back in a December, some friends and I went down to Daytona for the Ferrari Finali Mondiali. As we were taking photos of the 1200+ Ferrari’s in attendance (yes, 1200), some guy approaches us and the conversation basically goes like this:

I love these kind of encounters. Mine: I’m an artist, and I was having an exhibit of my collage/paintings, which are not car-related at all. A guy (another artist) I sort of knew came to the opening and we were chatting, and I come to find out he’s a car guy and has a couple projects. Nice, pleasant surprise. Then he…

There was a guy getting gas so the pumps were already active.

This mustang driver is trying pretty hard to stay off camera because he knows he’s somehow responsible for this.

Let’s just walk away right now, silently.

I’ve had a few instances, but one is a Family Legend...the time I was in a vehicle that got stopped for the dog driving...

1978, City of Chicago, on the North side. I turned left at an intersection where there was a no-left-turn sign. I didn’t see the sign until I was half-way through the turn. A CPD cruiser was parked down the block, waiting for people like me. He gave me the ticket in a business-like fashion.

That is actually really smart

I replaced the dome light with a blacklight in my first car (1985 Nissan Sentra Hatchback I paid 300 for). Needless to say, after turning it on, I rushed to get the interior detailed, wishing I had a biohazard suit the whole way there.

I always say “Stone the crows!!!” No one has any idea what I am talking about, they just know it is an odd sounding family friendly curse word.

FF is a Chinese company complaining about being copied by a Chinese company.

Is it just me or are others disappointed in the lack of creative cursing in videos like this? Let’s all try to pause for a moment and work in something fun like “holy flaming dingleberries”, “Mother of hairless Jesus”, or some other festive and witty exclamations.

Just gotta say, I literally spit out my coffee when I read the headline.

A+ for making sure all my other office mates know I wasn’t doing any work.

Exactly, today, coupe (from decoupe in French) means that the car was cut, not specifying what part exactly. In the case of 4-door coupes this means that the roof comes down towards the back, whereas a sedan has a mostly straight roof. Also you can consider a specific feature in 4-door coupes the frameless door…

Nah, look at the photo again. It’s to the ASTON MARTINth power.

You could write a letter? Both Moss and Surtees are still alive and kicking.

I worked as a news cameraman in Austin, TX for 11 years. We had a live truck that had been there since at least 1997. One day, around 2009 or so, I called the engineer out to take a look at the truck. He said, “What’s the problem?” I replied, “The engine is running” and he goes, “Uh yeah...that’s what it’s supposed to…
