So when you buy a new Ford GT, will Ford try to sell you a $2,999.99 three pack of windscreen shields? Or will they force you into a bundle for $4,999.99 that includes a battery charger and a car cover you don’t really need or want?

You win!

The 13 liter monster powering the Cadillac Sixteen concept. Shit looks like it belongs in a boat, and the massive, sideways opening hood allowed you to see oh so much of these wonderful pieces of performance art

Cosworth DFV gets my vote:

But:

Something French. I vote Citroen SM or C6. I know the C6 was covered a bit here but learning about living with something like that would be great. But the SM is just.... hnnnng. Plus weird French cars, vintage ones at that, will have endless blog fodder.

First generation Viper. It would be interesting to hear about something that could kill you and it would give you enough room to find a second car. Like the Hummer/GT-R.

How about something ridiculously classic like a Model T or something? Would that be too expensive? It surely wouldn’t depreciate.

Please correct me if I am wrong here, but I think the STS-V only shares components with the XLR-V and not the CTS-V as the CTS used an LS/LT V8? I only ask because my brother in law has one and it is currently out of commission until he can locate parts, which is a challenge since there were only 2500 STS-V’s ever

My Bullitt after I got fed up with my exhaust scraping everywhere. So I scrapped it and designed my own custom single exit.

I’ve always thought the VW 2.5L I-5 sounds much better than it’s given credit for.

I’m sure the tires were a factor in the crash. Ugly rims usually have crappy (cheap) tires.

It’s the hero the planet deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt it. Because it can take it. Because it’s not our hero. It’s a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Catalytic Converter.

Working on drum brakes suck...but as brakes, they work just fine.

“Too” please.

It will be grounded to the ground.

Always terrible to hear, sincere condolences to his family and friends. I am also very relieved to hear that this is seen on all sides as the accident it truly sounds like it is. It’s very easy to want to place blame when you lose someone, so kudos to everyone involved for keeping a level head.

It’s coming.
