Actually it landed on its rear end, with the nose sticking straight up.

Yes. There is something wrong with the speaker, but all in all, text messages and all the apps still work. Still had battery. If we had known it was still operational, we would have used the Find My iPhone to ping the car’s exact location.

Hahaha..it’s true. We were really saying “let’s hurry and get this car out of the water right now before we piss off more boaters and/or get fined by the Corps of Engineers.”

Thanks! If you’re ever in Nashville, of course stop by and see the rest of the collection.

It really was disgusting.

It is sad to see it go, but because it was an engineering marvel, and it failed, we’ve decided to put it on display at the Lane in our Eureka! exhibit, filled to the brim with “successful failures”, like the Martin cars, the Dymaxion, and even a Fisker Karma.

I would hate the stop and go of NYC traffic. I live 75 miles away, so once I am out of the afternoon Nashville traffic (morning isn’t as bad), I am cruising at highway speed the rest of the way. Satellite radio helps too.

My son is still in elementary school, and maybe by then the Nashville housing bubble will have burst, but yeah, we are already thinking the same thing.

Both. Lane Motor Museum is like Disneyland for certain car geeks, and the wife and I have too much sweat equity in the house. I just accept that I will be going through cars until I retire (variety is the spice of life, I tell myself!).

I have a 150-mile round trip commute in my personal vehicle, 5 days a week. It’s close to 40,000 miles a year just getting to work and back.

Wow! The X-100 is on loan from Subaru’s Heritage Collection, which is ran by a few corporate guys, so I just assumed everybody at Subaru corporate had heard of it. Glad we can educate the employees, too!

Can confirm. And yes, it is as quick as it looks.

You totally could have. Although, as of now, Jeff Lane acquired for himself (???) One day he will bequeath it to the museum.

You’re not gonna believe what showed up here at Lane Motor Museum today. (Or maybe you will...)

These are on my list of “forbidden fruit”, especially the SE3 with the cool removable top. I even have a 1/24 diecast Welly version on my desk. I just can;t own one, ever.

As a former 1302 owner, I agree 100%.

Took my driver’s license test in my mom’s ‘91 Premier. The turn signals beeped instead of clicking, and got faster as you came to a stop. I;m pretty sure it was an electrical gremlin, but at the time I thought “what a neat design idea!”.

I laughed way too hard at this. Can’t unhear from now on.

Thanks! And I was not in on that purchase. We have been looking for years, and finally found someone that would sell us the tires and not just an entire LARC. Shipping wasn’t cheap. It took two whole days just to remove and replace one tire.

Good interactive displays, a well-rounded collection, and nicely done diorama-style backdrops (like the garage and the Brandenburg Gates). This is how you museum, folks. Great find.
