Well here's the thing: That Jag is too historic and rare for me. Not only would I be completely paranoid driving it, I'd also have to maintain the damn thing in it's perfect state. I'd be the asshole that scratches and dirties and wears out a piece of history. No thanks. So I would take the fleet of Jags. Then I would…

Very interesting and insightful article. Definitely put the concept of oval tracks in perspective for me. But I found one piece of information particularly intriguing: Fried Oreos. Why have I never heard of this?!

Ahem.. ::whisper::.. it's "ma'am".

RIP Professor, and may you be joined in the heavens by all the other greats that have passed away. Thank you for everything you've contributed to the sport.

Saleen S7 has similar 'gills' on the side. It's not from the 90's, but it's the only car I recall at the moment that has scoops that somewhat resemble those.

So far, so good...

NP. Where else can you get a haunted car for $4000?

Ford GT. Less breakage, stick shift, and it's one seductive beast. I mean, c'mon, it's one of the sexiest cars ever. The 458 looks a bit ugly next to it (although it's a damn fine looking automobile on its own).

Sorry, but my Civic with a rebuilt title lasted me a while and was abused heavily. Daily driven on streets (rougher streets than yours), heavy traffic (heavier traffic than your traffic) and 38" mud tires, on a 1.6 and would go offroading. Sucked up water 5 times, actually hydrolocking the engine all 5 times. But it…

Stupid

Seconded. $6000 for a '67 Cougar in that shape? I can think of worse investments. NP

He uses the name Matchbox in the title as a general term.

I noticed the same thing. I'm always going to local yards to grab parts for my Ranger, but man are they hard to come across in decent shape. Those look juicy, and the excitement would almost be unbearable if I were lucky enough to come across such a sight.

I see where you're coming from, but realistically, most people that buy these cars won't drive them to the extreme where that small difference in structural rigidity will actually make much of a difference (unless you roll over, of course). Driving a convertible is very much an experience on it's own, and makes those…

Vizcaya. James Deering.

THIS.

That's a Riviera, I'm guessing 1971ish

So many things that could put me off of daily driving a motorcycle here in Miami, especially the lunatics with licenses and the unbearable heat. Yet there is only one reason why i don't bother to get one. RAIN.

C'mon... you take out a piece of motoring history and don't even bother bringing a fire extinguisher along? I carry one even in my piece of crap '92 Ranger, just in case. Everyone should have one in their car, just because it's better to be safe than sorry.

Well SOMEONE pulled out the judgement card a bit quick, huh?
