Somebody thought it was a nice price—it's sold.

Bob Varsha may be a great guy in real life, but as a commentator in F1, he's never been better than mediocre and at times, downright embarrassing. It's too bad they can't bring Sam Posey back.
The cost to set this thing right (remove body kit, vinyl roof, late bumpers, tacky wheels, tacky interior, replace with original (or non-crappy) parts, and repaint as needed) renders this thing CP pretty much no matter the price. And as someone who used to race RX-7s, I'm probably one of the few who actually likes…
Stay tuned for reviews of the 2014 Ford Musstang, Chevy Camarro, Honnda Acord, and Nisan Juuke.
So that's what this movie was about...
Nelson Piquet uses a little bit of everything.
Please define "contribute."
Not at all. It might need resealing (apex seals, side seals, etc.), but as long as the housings aren't scored, it's no big deal. In years of road-racing 12A-engined Rx-7s, I never had one fail spectacularly and/or catastrophically the way piston engines do, and they got twisted pretty hard. Any shop that has Wankel…
Thank you. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid playing with Matchbox cars (I had a couple of DSes and SMs). Like I told your dad, when I was a car-crazy kid, I had hundreds of "dream cars." As I reach middle age, there's really only one left: the DS. And the last thing I want is some trailer queen—a car…
Honestly, given the apparent condition of the rest of the car, the condition of the engine is irrelevant. I used to road-race a 12A Rx-7 and cay say from experience that used engines were cheap and could be swapped out in an evening. Actually, by the time I had done a few of them, I could change engines in a couple…
That's me. He's dropping it off today and I'm stoked! He told me the story about your cross-country trip in the Chapron and I'm looking forward to some similar experiences with my own kids once it's fully road-ready.
My thoughts, too. That ad has been up for a week: either it's a scam, it sold the first day it was posted, or there is something majorly wrong with it (though based on the condition of the body and interior alone, it could have all kinds of mechanical problems and still be NP).
On paper, that thing is a steal. But there has to be something wrong with it—it was listed a week ago and it's still for sale!?!?!?
As the proud new owner of a '59 DS, I think I'd drive it pretty much anywhere.
Citroen Traction Avant in From Russia With Love
You're half right (pun intended). That is indeed the Renault 11, but it was known in the States as the Encore. The Alliance was our counterpart to the 9.
I used to have one of these. I miss it.
Having just had a couple of Coney dogs from Lafayette (the best Coneys anywhere) for lunch today, I laugh at your Chicago dog. That relish [shudders]...
To be honest, this seems less insidious than, say, a writer for a buff book who spends his weekends racing at SCCA club racing events and has, over the course of his career, seemingly always raced the latest and greatest models from one particular manufacturer (let's call it "Brand H"). Not surprisingly, he rarely…
