My son's third word after "Dad" and "Dog" was "Shit". Learned from his mother. We were so proud.

Mom: Oh, shit!

We've got a MKVI R and have the same package it seems. I didn't want nav but my wife really wanted the sunroof so guess what? We got a touch screen and a quickly out-of-date clunky nav system we never use. I wish we could get back to the days of custom ordering cars and waiting on them to be built. Give me a website…

Loved the town. Didn't like the New Years crowds. We'll have to visit in off-season. Was very impressed by the AWD in the Golf R in the icy conditions. Only had one little 50MPH power slide on some ice. Powered it on out of the slide and continued on. We didn't even run winter tires, just standard all-seasons.…

I loved our '95 XJ-12. I know it's not quite the same vintage but we never had an issue with it beyond a faulty steering wheel adjustment motor. Call it luck. I guess. Every man should own a V-12 at least once in his life. Cruising at triple-digit speeds in near silence really spoils a man.

We spent New Years in Steamboat and temps dropped to -25. It took the engine nearly 30 minutes to actually start sending warm air into the cabin. Without the heated seats in my wife's R we'd have been Texan-cicles.

Look at this temp from New Year's morning and tell me you wouldn't want heated seats.

I ran into that this past week at a Hilton branded hotel. I called down to the front desk and they sent up an engineer with a box to bypass their controls. Simple and Easy.

Our R did spectacularly over New Years in Colorado. Now starts the task of cleaning off all the salt and dirt.

I got to chauffeur Massa around at the USGP. While he was quiet, likely thinking about the race in an hour, you could tell he really did enjoy his fans. Everyone got a smile and wave or thumbs up as we passed. I wished I'd had more time to really talk to him beyond some quick pleasantries. He did sign hats for me and…

I've heard this a couple times about my 'Bird. I made the mistake of dropping by a local Thunderbird club meeting once. The disapproving looks I got at my lowered and customized car were too much. "Your car is a '61, why does it have '63 tail lights?" Because they look better to me. "The '61 didn't come with a Sport…

If a little kid asks, he's more than welcome to sit in the T-Bird and honk the horn even. Politeness gets you everywhere. If you are nice and ask, many car owners are more than happy to show off their cars and even let you sit in them. The highlight for a recent show for my wife was sitting in a SLS AMG GT(it's had a…

The explains the shipping damages to the last arrays we bought from them.

Pic was taken when I had a bit of a Land Rover problem. At that time there was 4 of them at my house. Two Series IIAs, the Classic, and an NAS D-90. My wife is driving in the pic above and I was leading in the 90. That pic actually made the cover of Land Rover Monthly a few years ago to go along with a story we wrote.…

I'll still take our Classic over a new one for 'real' offroading.

Proving, yet again, that every car looks good in Martini livery. I have yet to see one that isn't improved by it.

Lincoln Town Car.

I test drove all you named and bought the Abarth. The deciding factor was that exhaust note and the price. I was able to pick up a loaded(only option missing was the shitty GPS) 2013 late into 2014 for under $20K out the door with 3-year service plan. Original MSRP was nearing $28K I think. If not for that I'd have…

Love mine. My commute is less than 10 minutes so I was willing to forgo a bit of comfort so I could have a fun toy for weekend romps on the twisties. Don't regret it a bit. The sound still makes me smile every time I start it. Unless it's 2am and I'm waking all the neighbors in a 1/4mile radius.
