My parents have a neighbor that owns a corvette, and it literally never leaves the garage. It’s an early 1990s model. When a NASCAR race comes on television he will turn it on and idle it in the garage for like an hour just to “listen to it”
Jim is 49. He’s worked hard all his life, but has always driven sensible cars that work for the family. His brother Matt has owned a succession of BMWs and has never been quiet about how much they cost and how fast they are. But Jim has just received the promotion he’s been working towards for a long time, and with it…
Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his…
I know, I was driving by a high school at lunch today and some kids on the street threw an object ( I think it was a single serving creamer cup fwiw) at my vehicle hitting the windshield and bouncing off. Surprisingly I managed to continue on the road without hitting the kids or any other cars, I credit my driving…
well said. A motorcycle accident at highway speed is serious injury at least for the biker. For the car, the boot kick, it sucks, cyclist was wrong, but attempted murder for a boot print? Ticket for the cyclist, jail for the driver
Sorry but if a biker attacks my car that’s an attack on me. Not because I love my car but because an idiot biker is ATTACKING and threatening me.
No way I’m defending the motorcyclist that (not causes but) is involved in a large collision and speeds off like a little bitch. Mixing two morons rarely ends well..
Looks like a Harley Davidson Street Glide or Road Glide actually.
Wow, this hits close to home. For my grandmother’s birthday, 4 years ago, she insisted she wanted to go 90 at 90. So I got her on my Dad’s goldwing (my sportier bike would have been a little tougher) and we did it!
The old ladies in Mad Max are more hardcore than the entirety of this blog
Ever heard of the swivel arm battle grip?
Dear Velocity,
This is correct usage of the internet and car ownership in particular.
This guy gets to post and I haven’t been approved after 6+ years
Maybe for you or me, but this guy appears to be doing something car-related that he loves. Let’s applaud him and wish him a safe trip home.
Exactly. As a car person you should be able to understand that there are different people and it’s cool to see any of these groups have something cool like this happen. I’m a Toyota guy but I still love how this Harlequin is being saved in the same way that I hope people understand why I want a Toyota Century. Non-car…
A lot of commenters just don’t understand how people can have a passion for something that they don’t personally value. I think this is an awesome story.
Some people don’t get the appeal of a numbers matching car. Yeah, it’s no original Hemi Cuda, but it’s a rare care in this particular person’s interest group.
And.... your wrong.... That’s like saying a ‘55 Mercury with Factory A/C isn’t cool because you can take any ‘55 Mercury and add it fro Vintage Air. There’s only a few hundred of these cars. As a maybe car person you should understand that your “so what” *aka I can’t even take the time to understand why someone else…
