Tell that to my V10 E-350 that died outside of Boston while we were on tour.

Here is what happens.

Speaking of bubble era cars and its new counterparts and revivals. I think that new C8 Corvette IS the new NSX. (or what the new NSX should have been)

We’re considering going back and doing an all off-road vehicle series...

Is 78k miles supposed to be impressive?  Don't S2000s typically go for double or triple that?

Well that's hardly an impressive number then... An average of 40k for the other three cars? All season tires last longer than that.

I kept up on oil changes and fills, pre-mixed, warmed it up properly every time I drove it, took it to redline every time I drive it (critical for Wankel health), and let it cool properly before shutting it off every time.

GREAT! now make parts for the J60,J62, and J80 series again!

Brace yourself. Every dealer and independent has techs, office personnel and other employees take your car to run errands to try and reproduce issues. Fetch lunch, get some parts, hell even drive them home for the night. I’ve seen it at dozens of shops and no you can’t have them arrested for theft. They also do it to

I’ve worked as service writer for a dealership, if a customer comes in with a check engine light on and the tech thinks he’s cleared the codes that caused it the tech will sometimes have the courtesy driver take that car out for the day while running errands to make sure the check engine light doesn’t come back on,

Devil’s advocate here, but he COULD have been test driving it after service was performed on it. I mean if you’re gonna test it, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone.

Hold up. We’re not getting the full story here. What was the vehicle in for? A routine maintenance? Then yeah, they got what they deserved. But if it’s in there for a drive ability concern, that’s another story. It’s not like he was hauling lumber in the damn thing.

I generally don't agree with the whole 'fire the problem instead of address it' mindset of the world at large

Aside from tailgating, I have to wonder if there’s really anything wrong here, on the condition that they needed to take it for a short test drive anyway.

“I’ve drove a Lexus LX570 a couple years ago, which is essentially a Land Cruiser, and I remember hating it. I can’t fathom why anyone would buy one in this day and age”

TBF the Lambo with the toboggan looked like it was about to go full Mustang there for a second. Thankfully, nothing happened.

Hey, that’s the bathroom window of my old apartment in Red Hook!

This is the most bipolar car I’ve seen for a while. The outside says PBR and Taco Bell and the inside says Hennessy and Ruth’s Chris.

I think European Collectibles took on that liability when they issued a certificate of authenticity. The ultimate question will be if they did so intentionally, in which case this is definitely fraud, or if they did so ignorantly, in which case it might still be fraud (falsely presenting themselves as having the

I honestly think driving manual makes you more attentive, not less, as this seems to argue, but, sure, whatever, just trying to get through a class here.
