I agree vintage car enthusiasts are the best car enthusiasts. Back when I still had my TR6, the first time I brought it to C&C (then still in Irvine), I ended up meeting a bunch of other Triumph guys and met them for breakfast afterwards. They really made me feel welcomed, and I had the pleasure of seeing their…

Not really what I’d consider to be a good picture, but I really enjoyed finding this old beetle in Tokyo. As you might expect it was in excellent shape, certainly well cared for.

Former employee of Fisker here - on the original Karma, Fisker lost money on every single car. Karma Automotive has merely adjusted the price to where it should’ve been originally. And, using numbers from back in 2011, $130,000 would not have translated to much of a profit margin either - significantly less than the…

I trust this is not the same Porsche team that PIT-maneuvered the front-running Corvette near the end of the Long Beach GP to take the win?

I can definitely understand/appreciate the relation of part price to price paid for the car, but coming from someone who also bought a run-down project for relative small dollars, there comes a point when comparing part price to the car’s sale price just isn’t feasible and may keep you from making a worthwhile repair…

That’s definitely a thing. The main reason people prefer the five speed is that it’s capable of handling power levels much higher than stock, which Evo X’s commonly reach.

This is why I came to the comments. A little more clarification:

While in the process of selling my previous fun car, a ‘73 Triumph TR6 (“that’s his username!”), I found an NA Miata R-package that was bone stock with about 75k miles for sale in North Carolina for $5600. Looked to be in great shape, all maintenance minus being a little overdue for the timing belt. I live in…

Despite only coming with an automatic, I have always liked the Jensen Interceptor. Classic 70's car design, a big V8, and one of the best greenhouses on any car ever made IMO (that hatch glass!).

From a technical standpoint I love this car, but from top to bottom it just seems so over-designed to me. It’s two cars (or more) worth of details crammed into one. I wish they had dialed it back a bit.

Considering Tesla supplied Mercedes with batteries for quite some time, I don’t doubt there’s some Tesla DNA in that truck’s technology. Yes, Mercedes is now developing their own electric tech, but anyone who doubts that they “benchmarked” their own Tesla-batteried electric B-Series doesn’t know how the auto industry…

This is an excellent article and I couldn’t agree more.

Haha nice! It’s almost a surprise that your calipers are unscathed.

I’m quite pleased with this article for two main reasons:

I’m surprised he still had enough energy for all that destruction after making the drive from Florida.

Came here to post this.

Not to be that guy, but I did see the cigar immediately. After reading the first few paragraphs I had to look up at it to see what I figured I was actually missing.

I probably speak for many avid C&H fans when I say any one of these cars fit Calvin’s dad to a tee, even if he’s making a bit more than the average Joe. You definitely couldn’t see him in anything flashy/sporty

Listing =/= selling. I can list a booger out of my nose for $10,000, it doesn’t mean that’s what someone will pay for it.

The best Lancer Evolution ever made is certainly not a model with an automatic transmission.
