I remember when I was first offered Cheerwine after moving to North Carolina.

I like the 400i and the 456 because they are bland. They are simply front engined, 12 cylinder cars built by a company more qualified to build such vehicles than most other manufacturers, for people who want a grand tourer 2+2.
Take your pick of the car I own now, or my old Lincoln Continental.
Bugeye? Check.
My only contention is the lack of an 8 cylinder in the RL. People have been complaining about the lack of a Honda/Acura V8 from day 1, so that’s nothing new.
Yea! GO NUMBER 2! W220 S600 for the win!
It upsets me that that twin turbo Mercedes V8 makes 17 more horsepower than my twin turbo Mercedes V12.
My favorite color is neon orange. But that color is only available on a Lamborghini or a new Civic Si, the former I cannot afford and the latter I do not want because it is far too small.
I don’t disagree, I wouldn’t have bought one if I did. But I honestly don’t know what a safe top speed is considering 3000RPM is about all you want to spin these old girls up to unless you’ve had every single seal under the hood replaced. Somewhere, the German engineers are saying, “vell, ze car lasted ze varanty…
I’ve always been fascinated by pre-war luxury car tech. There was a lot of innovation that we seem to have abandoned. Sleeve valve engines, a la Avions Voisin, were really only faulted because they burned a lot of oil due to not-quite-precise-enough tolerances in manufacturing. Think of what could be accomplished…
No, no, no...it’s meahr-lot braug-hmm.
With a voice module like the original Datsun Maxima had.
I’ll take a 2015 Taft Patrician Royal Bourgeois Brougham, please.
How much are you in love with the car? I don’t care how much the Mercedes costs me. My only saving grace is that it doesn’t get driven very often while I’m at school. It’s already cost me $800 in two months and I don’t know what I’m gonna have to pay for the warranty replacement of my tie rod ends and balljoints.…
I don’t care if it’s illegal! I’ll steal tags every year! I’ll forge phony inspection documents! It’s a diesel, stick, E38! An E38! With a diesel! And a stick!
I really hope the 6-cylinder diesels stick around. I was hoping to convince my father to lease a TDI Phaeton when they come back to the US in a couple years...if that’s still going to happen.
I like the $60-65k area, in extreme cases only, simply because that’s the range you need to be in to pick up a serviceable Continental Flying Spur, Silver Seraph, Maybach Type 57, etc. If you’re talking about a more common brand I guess I’d say $25k, maybe $30k? Although I wouldn’t feel comfortable above $20k. Depends…
I sold my 1998 Lincoln Continental a few months back using the offer-up app. My dad was thinking we would get like $700 out of it because it was a rust belt car we brought with us down to North Carolina when we moved. (Sidenote: why a 1993 Corolla DX with 300,000 miles is easily worth $2,000 but a V8 Leather lined…
I pollute 2-4x more than a Chevy Suburban...
So many people say that Cadillac producing cars using technology 30 years out of date was their problem in the 90s. I think quite the opposite. You could buy the 1977 Fleetwood Brougham until 1992, almost unchanged. If you wanted real, honest to goodness, genuine sloshy, wafty, “Turn right here. Right? You mean…
