The general theory is that when you use the same argument over and over again with the same results it’s time to either admit defeat or take a radically different approach. Maybe PHEVs aren’t the saviors we all hoped they would be?

I’m as excited about the prospect of an electric Miata as having diarrhea. The upside is light weight, ICE powered sports cars are about to take a quantum leap in value. Start hoarding now!

Also the Fiat Chroma.

If you drove one, you would eat those words. Nothing short of a Ferrari Dino sounds better than that Busso V6 at full song.

Having owned a 82 Spider and still own a Milano Verde, you depict the exact opposite of my experience. In fact, having spoken with a lot of Alfa owners through the years, most will say Alfas are great road warriors. A lot of the stuff you hear is internet folk lore and dummy owners who think maintenance is optional. A…

These are fabulous driver’s cars and very underrated. Having owned a multitude of E30s (still race Spec E30) and E28s, I rate the Milano higher on the fun scale than either BMW. I’ve owned my Verde for 6 1/2 years and it’s never failed me. Take care of the maintenance and the Alfa will take care of you.

Panteras are pretty but drive like trucks. Mondials are still relatively cheap, offer a fantastic gated shifter, mid engine Ferrari V8 driving experience and don’t deserve their reputation. You can even wrench on them yourself.

That thing just screams Pep Boys from the cheesy after market wheels to the ill fitting leather seat covers proclaiming “turbo”. ND.

Turning 47 this year and still don’t feel any differently. Is there something magic about the number 60 that suddenly makes you give up on having fun while you drive?

Sell me your R32.

Head gasket and tranny rebuild have addressed most of the big ticket items although if the AC evaporator goes that’s an 18 hour job. Mercedes literally built the car around it. I would probably roll the dice, even at this mileage, as clean, rust free W124 estates that haven’t been beaten into the ground are becoming a…

Why does this have to be on the opposite coast?? FNP all day long!

I’ll offer up a reason: electric cars are boring. No noise, no changing of gears, just sterile silence on the track which is incredibly dull for spectators. It’s almost the equivalent of watching RC cars race via remote control, just on a larger scale. Keep ICE for racing and use it as a test bed to develop clean…

The engine the JL deserved from the start.

I would highly recommend looking at the car in person if you’re seriously considering buying it. The same seller had a Delta Integrale that was for sale a few years back and it was grossly misrepresented. The respray that looked great in the pictures was mediocre in person (it was advertised as original paint), it was…

A manual, AWD hatch with 300+HP for likely sub $40K? As Jalops, we have no excuses for not buying this.

I saw it in person. It’s cringe worthy.
