Their site features a coming-soon blurb about yacht replicas, too. Because a car shop can totally do the incredibly hard work of being a professional shipyard.

A local electrical contractor has a 288. I never realized it was exceedingly rare...

I hate to say it, but trx0x is right. It's simply a normal promoted tweet, like any other one.

I am here to set the record straight. I am a student at Spanish Fort HS who moved to the area this year. I came into the area with all the same biases as many of the commenters (and there writer) here. As an openly pansexual liberal, I thought that I would be harassed and shunned. Instead, I’ve been welcomed into a…

This reminds me of pretty much every time I've been on Fifth Avenue, at KaDeWe in Berlin, and any number of other high-end retail districts worldwide. I tend to dress pretty casually (though not at all sloppily), and whenever I've entered a store like Fendi or Wempe I was either hovered around by angry-looking…

I think that the SC was actually quite a good-looking car when it came out, but it dredged on so long (1999-2010 or something like that) that it became the stereotype that it now is.

You did not even attempt to refute any of the point I made. It was not liberalism that ruined Detroit. Had the global economy not shifted towards outsourcing, the numerous programs to "save" Detroit would not have been needed. Detroit would not have needed to be "saved" at all had it not been for the conservative…

You can't even pull that card. Detroit was ruined by corruption and the largely conservative "fair trade" deals that drove jobs way, way out of the city. Liberal government at a local level cannot fix ultraconservative corporate cost-savings politics at a much more powerful level, and Kwame certainly didn't help…

Fork Sword?

Wait...there's a Roads and Bridges Magazine?

I would argue that they fulfilled the exact purpose that they should have, an honored the Maybach name in doing so. It was a car that was so imposing and luxurious, yet dignified and sleek at the same time. It did everything a Maybach ever should.

I'm fine running Firefox, Chromium, Iron, and Midori on Ubuntu, and running IceWeasel on #! Linux. If I'm not having problems, you're missing a plugin or something.

It's very simple to guess why we haven't seen photos of the crash. Considering he was with his wife, Cox probably took the GTO out for a casual drive somewhere scenic. It wasn't like most supercar crashes we see, where some idiot decided to act stupid in the middle of a city, and it wasn't like most classic-car…

It only showed Detroit from Belle Isle as the new, industrial city, and almost all of the abandonment shots were from Michigan Central Station. I was hoping to see more.

Sure they found a market, but they had a significant market already. All Lotus succeeded at in 2010 was becoming another anonymous name in luxury motoring with sporting pretensions, a status that is easy to kill a company. Where they were before, creating light and simply sports machines for the well-to-do and…

I have to agree here. Next to urban France, America has by far the worst drivers in the world. It's not that they're speed freaks or that they are over-agressive, it's just that seemingly everyone forgets the driving manual at some point. And it's not just one place, either. I've lived in Detroit, Green Bay, Mobile,…

What would your dream car be if you had to do everything (shopping, transport to/from events) with it?

Is that still up for sale? I remember somebody was trying to sell the original Banshee prototype for some insane amount a few years back, but I no longer have a subscription to Hemming's so I don't know if it was ever sold.

Whoa. I go away for a week without technology, and Washington D.C. goes all blackout, my home's infrastructure falls to bits, and Jalopnik's commenting system becomes impenetrable to my brain.

So true. I understand that downtown is alive and culture is alive in Detroit, but I'm still glad I got out of there years ago.
