In an effort to help everyone, myself included, feel better: attempting to buy this would’ve evidently gotten you into a bidding war with a Chinese firm - they got it for 10k, but most certainly could’ve afforded more / would have crushed any of us in an auction.

In the interest of workplace productivity, I slapped together a Horndumpster emblem. Would proudly drive anything with this on the grille.

This being the US, the “solution” will likely become harsher penalties for those caught doing it, though nothing to address prevention.

My favorite thing is heading up to Angeles Crest Highway on a clear weekend morning for a spirited drive through the mountains.

The collector car market is a complete joke right now, and the bubble it’s created is keeping numerous people from buying cars that they’ll actually drive. I get it’s a big part of the enthusiast world right now, but it does pain me to see Jalopnik helping it along with speculation articles.

This sounds great, but what exactly is going on, in an electromechanical sense, is a bit of an unknown. Certainly we know the car can go all slidey-slidey, but the specifics are kind of cloudy. Are we talking about looser traction control? Are we talking about a more rearward power bias? Are we talking about the voice…

In fairness, it's nothing like as bad as the pre-organized 'scoop' shot. This is perhaps the most funked-up piece of PR/Marketing codswallop imaginable in the post-Lehmann era. It is in effect the fake-Lehmann, where a maker either tips-off a friendly snapper and drives a mostly un-covered car around until it gets…

And yet each year the remaining stragglers unpack their memories and make the pilgrimage back to a place that no longer signifies the future. I know it brings the town some much needed cash, but to my eyes it's an insincere form of charity that will only reduce to nothing over time. Much better to encourage other…

As someone who didn't even think to recommend importing a Skyline GT-R, I'm really pleased with your choice and can't wait to follow along.!

While I suspect the Ford will be more than the NSX, I highly doubt it'll be $300,000.

Evidently a Triumph TR6 is 61-70% Jalop.

Came to post this. Incredible. Did Infiniti even try to make their own? Sure there are some differences, but come on.

Pencils down. Mazda 787B. Sadly I can't link youtube videos from work...

I think a Jaguar E-Type would be a great choice. Definitely within budget, very iconic. It's a car that's immediately recognizable, that I doubt would bring as much in-person attention as the Ferrari.

I deal with the same issues quite often and I don't even drive an "exotic"; as the username suggests, it's merely an old Triumph. If you think an open window invites trouble, try an open cockpit (I vastly prefer driving top down, exhaust penetration having no small factor in that decision). I can't tell you how many…

I bought my Triumph TR6 last summer from a guy in Toronto. I live in Long Beach (CA), so I flew there to pick it up and road tripped it back home in 4 days, picking up a friend in Chicago along the way. Not sure if this really qualifies, as I didn't fly to Toronto to shop for the car, that's just where it was. Either…
