I love it. Never seen anything like it, which is hard to do these days. Though I think somehow using a modified V8 from a 928 would have been cool.

How so? F1 cars have become giant slot cars zipping around the track. I find slower racing cars that battle it out fender to fender far more fascinating. Give me some vintage Trans-Am racing or some Touring Car racing any day.

A REAL durable car is the daily beater, or work truck that faithfully stays on the road despite that it’s owner has neglected it for years. 4 different brand tires (all bald), one operable headlight, each body panel is a different color, the car that hasn’t had an oil change in several years, or a bath in several…

This is why I can’t give two shits about Formula 1. Because I’m a car guy. There’s no car left in the design. Just wingless jet fighters. You ever notice the majority of Formula 1 fans (and NASCAR and INDY) really care more about the drama between race teams, the drivers, and the rule makers than they do about cars?…

There’s a lot of videos on YouTube of CC Speedway. Hadn’t changed much over the years. This video is from 1995, and it looks just like the way I remember it 15 years prior.

Well....those old British bikes are fun to ride too. So there’s that. That throaty twin and those beautiful lines are worth something to enough people to pay good money for a decent one. And frankly, if I had the cash, patience, and experience I’d have an old Bonnie too. It’s not like they are that expensive. $7k will…

Maybe his kid plays. Maybe his kid is a benchwarmer, but you know, a dad still has to represent. See how low he is holding the manual so low? He doesn’t want his bench-warmer kid to see that dad is bored out of his gourde.

I hear ya. I guess more specifically, the Bonneville, was just the do anything-go anywhere bikes of their day. They could be a simple get around bike or drag bike, trials bike, off road machine, a track bike, or even a salt flats bike. They for their time, were the machines that enabled regular joes to be competitive…

Sad to hear CC Speedway (Corpus Christie) closed! My dad would take my brother and I there when I was about 7 or 8 years old. (‘81-82) I loved that place. My favorite thing was when we got pit passes to go down and look at the cars in the paddock up close.

I actually own an old Honda. And I love vintage Hondas, have before it was even cool. But classic British bikes are held in the highest regard by certain demographics of motorcycle enthusiasts.

This disproportionate classic car ownership to owner thing is real in films. I was ranting to this the other day to my wife. Her eye rolling indicated she thought I was crazy. Thank you, I’m not alone!

I’ve seen early CB750s in perfect shape commanding that much. Smaller displacment CB’s are getting darn close.

Motor? Nah, that’d be too easy. Probably a mess of vacuum lines operate it.

It already has. It’s raised the prices of the junkers too. I remember (not long ago) when people would give away an old beaten CB that was out in the shed. Now that patina is gold.

I love that hundreds of collectible cars are in once place, each meticulously maintained, and then there is the Bricklin. Of all the cars that aren’t going to cooperate, of course it would be the Bricklin. Winking with it’s one pop-up headlight.

AND it can haul more crap around in it!

Looks like a Chinese knock-off of a Ferrari.

The Fiero was a better Ferrari than the Mondial.

Perhaps the designer was inspired by the 1965 AMC Marlin?
