Here’s to Jeff, still one of my best friends, who once came to class with no shirt on. Because he’d used it to put out a fire. In the engine bay of his 1981 Camero. In the high school parking lot.

Step 1: Make a race car street-legal

here’s what it will look like, FYI

What he really wants is a 1970 Olds Cutlass Convertible. Asking price of $18,500. Cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, plenty of smiles per mile and he can invite 4-5 of his friends along for the ride.

I think I’d keep the 300+hp 430 MEL engine.

Plausible options:
Karl (as in Benz)
Nash
Lincoln
Galvin (after the Galvin brothers, who invented the car radio)
Dwight or Ike (after the president who gave us highways)

Nope:
Edsel
Dipstick
Fender
TRD
Einspritzungmotor
Mighty Boy
Yugo

(Will add more as I think of them)

My name is Sue. How do you do? Now you’re gonna die.

Shelby. After Carroll Shelby.

$130k for a car that will probably suck and fail miserably. No idea what kind of a person would say “Yes, I do want a car for $130k from a Chinese manufacturer”.

If by “Americanizing” F1 you mean fans having better access to the the sport/spectacle via (insert whatever here), more tv and news coverage along with having more races in non-shithole autocracies and the like then I’m all with you.

I say it will be good. Road Atlanta would be a great F1 track.

It’s pristine! I’m so glad that this Cadillac is driven. That’s why it was built.

Some of us are in California for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and have been given the keys to this pretty blue Porsche 911 Carrera S. This is it parked before it goes on the Pacific Coast Highway. This is probably what heaven feels like.

I really do love it! Something about your video made it click for me. I’ve never driven anything as solid as this thing. It’s like a bank vault on wheels. Plan to take it on some mountain trails this fall and super excited about it. You totally nailed that duality thing, and I like that it’s low key and not pimped out…
