I voted NP because anyone who preserves a car this well, even a goofy-ass 70's Mercury land yacht, deserves to be rewarded.

For years companies that sold a dangerous, highly addictive drug sponsored racing teams. They’d emblazon their logos and color schemes on the cars, racing suits and helmets, and signs around the tracks. Drivers would be seen feeding their addiction right out in the open, and would sometimes personally endorse the use…

This story hits home. In ‘98, when my wife was in the hospital recovering from delivering my son, I traded my beloved ‘97 M-Edition Miata for a new MPV. I literally teared up in the dealer lot when they drove the M away. But, the MPV served us well for years. Now the kid’s in college and I have another ‘97 M in the…

Yet another reason to keep humans in the driver’s seat. A.I. and autonomous systems, no matter how advanced, can never deal with any event the software engineers haven’t foreseen. Maybe an occasion like this is one in a million, or one in a billion, but I’ll bet that guy’s family is glad there were human beings with…

If the seller can find one of the three 50-something guys in America who got laid for the first time in the back seat of one of these, he’s golden.

Now, can we get a mulligan on 2016? Surely by now any rational person has realized what a shit-show Comrade Trump’s “presidency” is.

A race with virtually no rules, open to any type of car, with a gigantic purse? My god that would be amazing. Modern racing is so buried in formulae and regulation that it stifles innovation. Look at the Granatelli turbine Indycar from the ‘60s. Thats the kind of innovation we’d see in a wide open, no rules race.

If nothing else, this action shows that broadcasters are finally realizing there’s a US market for auto racing beyon NASCAR and the Indy 500. It’s about time. Maybe someday the same idea will include motorcycle road racing too.

Sign me up. With the 120 to 180 month financing options available these days, the payments should be very affordable.

Your experience with this dealer wasn’t a fluke. I’ve dealt with Grieco Mazda in Delray for years. Their sales and service have been impeccable.

The engine bay photos remind me of how much I despise the plastic engine covers most cars come with now. Few things are better looking than a red powder-coated valve cover.

I think NPOCP brought a very interesting vehicle to our attention today. This ‘99 scooter has styling elements that Honda has used in their leading-edge designs that came later. I’m thinking specifically of the DN-01 and the Vultus NM-4. Neither of those bikes were much appreciated in the market, but there’s no…

Because she’ll be too busy speaking into the microphone?

$62k is a nit’s eyelash to an F1 team. It’s probably less than the team’s sunscreen budget.

That’ll buff right out.

I had one of these and beat the living crap out of it for 180k miles. Including getting it stuck in a saltwater swamp overnight and having the tide come in over the engine. I drove it ~200 miles home the next day. After replacing a few electrical components I continued to drive it for another 5 years w/o any problems…

It’s only natural Trump would want to dump the “gas guzzler” tax. It’s a very slippery slope from that to a “grease guzzler” tax, which would be catastrophic for him.

It sounds perfect for the very fast gravel off road tracks that make up most of my driving.

The guy who played “the foot” was brilliant. I was fighting back tears by the end of the film.

My Dad bought an Austin 1100 when we lived in Saudi Arabia. I guess it was around 1963. We took it all over the Middle East. It did really well on the really crappy roads that were the norm in those days. He also bought an Austin Gypsy, which competed with the Land Rover and Land Cruiser. That was a hell of a…
