That this is at an independent exotic and foreign dealer instead of a BMW one tells you all you need to know about this particular example.

If you’re looking for someone who cares, it would be wise to pack a lunch.

So, bottom line: Boeing rocket scientists  can’t rocket science.

What will be the next demand from this maniacal narcissistic infant? Mandatory enrollment of all citizens in X or what the name is after his next fit?

The SSR even rode worse than it looks; so softly sprung it bounces like a child’s hobby horse at the least provocation.

I have no plans for Porsche ownership but this is a dick move. But I couldn’t help but notice in Italy last year that European manufacturers offer a lot more colors than we ever see. So they’re all dicks as far as I’m concerned.

Dear Mango Mussolini.

Hands down, a Chevrolet SSR pickup. Ferried it 300 yards from the hotel entry to the parking lot because none of the teenage bellboys could drive a stick. Bounced like a child’s hobby horse the whole way. Vehicle that had no reason to exist.

Yet another example of the childish douchebag’s temper tantrums. As the backlog of inventory grows and sales plummet, how long before the stock market responds? I give him a year more as CEO at best.

The story will tell you just how long ago this was. I bought a new TV antenna, a big high gain model. Came folded down in a box that was some 14 + feet long. I tied it to the outside of the very ratty ‘63 E Type coupe I was driving then, using bungees to strap it to the bonnet, the door handle, and rear vent window on

No, no, no. It’s just hype. Embellishment. Alternative facts.

I too am Shocked. Shocked and Apalled.

When we were dating, she loved my Jaguar XJ12C. After we married, suddenly it wasn’t good enough and we had to have a brand new Mercedes 300D, a car that needs a calendar instead of a speedo. I hated it; HVAC had 2 speeds, Inadequate and Jet Engine. Seats like rocks. Steering wheel big enough for a bus. After repeated

No Jaguar E Type?

I’m driving it right now, or as often as I can without daily to keep Hagerty happy. A 1977 Jaguar XJC, my third. If I had a deep enough bank account I’d remove the L98 350 TPI and make it all Jaguar again, either with an AJ16 supercharged 6 from an XJR, or an updated V12, taking cues from Harry Metcalfe

Jaguar XJ12C. I had this identical car in the late 70’s, Sable Brown and all. The cast iron Borg Warner Model 12 3 speed automatic had something around a 20% friction loss, putting the Slush in slushbox. The V12 as produced was detuned  over fuel economy concerns, and the transmission was just an absolute waste. A

Always wanted a Daytona Coupe.

When I was 29 I had both a 76 XJ12C and a 67 EType. The EType was without a doubt, just as Enzo said, the most beautiful car in the world. The only photo I have of it is after the collision that ended it’s life, and that isn’t the way I remember it. What I do remember is the view over that long bonnet, the scent of

Let’s see: 1. The 1956 Belair 2 dr. hardtop, white over black Tutone, 265 v8, 2 bbl., 2 speed Powerslide I bought for my senior year of high school for $125 and sold when I started college for the same amount?
