Hey Challenger, you’re money and you don’t even know it. 

Well at least that WAS a pun, unlike “blows the second largest ship...out of the water” which Andy thinks is a good pun and which is not a pun at all. I think what Andy really likes is dad jokes. 

Lots of great suggestions but I can’t believe The Red Car by Don Stanford hasn’t been mentioned. There was a piece in R&T I think, or maybe Hemmings, where the writer noted that enthusiasts were split between those who had & hadn’t read it. For those that did, it was immensely impactful. It’s a simple story of a kid…

Dan Gurney. Won races including LeMans (originating the champagne spray tradition), NASCAR (five victories), four victories in Formula One with 86 starts (including in his own car), competed in Champ Car / Indy 500, Trans Am, and the Cannonball Run (with Brock Yates in a Ferrari Daytona coupe doing 170 in the desert…

Starred for the leaping, Martini-liveried 037, that is how you do it. 

Moss in his later years apparently insisted on being introduced as “the greatest racing driver never to have won the Formula One championship.” I heard that being broadcast at the Monterey Historics one year when he was there to speak and it was used in print many times. I found that a bit odd, but I guess it was a…

“See your reflection in the snow covered hills until the landslide brings it down.” Did you mean “avalanche” but needed two syllables not three, Stevie? 

Exactly, the Jaguar AJV8 5.0 was a brand new engine block and other changes, compared to the 4.2.

I expect the underpinnings to be mostly carryover, hopefully they do make some improvements. The dashboard could use some work. What would be nice is if they’d figure out how to make the back seats slightly more usable. Despite being larger than the original cars, which granted didn’t have as many safety regulations,…

Well if they don’t have to certify an ICE, then that’s one less hurdle to certifying it in the US. Alfa managed to bring the low product 4C here, granted Alpine doesn’t have a dealer network to hand nor is it a halo car for a brand sold here. But still, is one French car too much to ask? 

Well the article and tweet both say that only the driver was ejected, so presumably the passenger was wearing a seatbelt. I do always feel bad for the passenger, who has no agency when his driver decides to go for it. Just like Paul Walker. I guess it’s possible the passenger egged him on, we’ll obviously never know…

I guess at least the drone won’t park wherever it feels like it at the post office, blocking the drive up mailbox and not in a spot, like yesterday’s Amazon driver. Or block traffic while delivering. Or play loud music. One hopes. Speaking of which, where’s my delivery of car related stuff I ordered yesterday…

More noise and cameras overhead. And these things will cause damage to cars, car crashes if they fall onto a roadway, and everyone’s peace of mind. “Sorry our drone got blown by a wind gust and scratched your new car. Here’s a $15 coupon. Or you could try to sue Amazon but even if it wasn’t your delivery, you have an…

So, is it just my West Coast feed, or is MT TV’s feed on cable TV choppy and virtually unwatchable elsewhere? Did they really buy the rights to this and pay for basic cable internet to broadcast it? I’m not forking out for MT’s pay services when their TV broadcast sucks this bad, or even giving them a free trial.   

Delahayes are pretty face-meltingly beautiful. Totally worth it. 

Talk about--pop music...

It always gets me when reviews crow about times and how stuck the car is, when you know it’s on special Pilot tires designed expressly for the car that probably last about a third of what a normal performance tire does. Ok you’ve got the new BMW or Ferrari, how close would it be to the next tier of cars down without…

101st ChimpFighting Brigade.

Sweet ride! 

It is really stunning how much I don’t mind the SX4 / Spirit, when I absolutely abhor the four-door Eagle wagons. Maybe it’s because I blame the wagon for being the Ur-lifted whatever that got us into this whole mess. Also the wood veneer made them look like an cheesy imitation Family Truckster before National…
