It almost looks like a Hot Wheels car. Not one that I would want to own, though.

We follow a few simple rules to keep our cars in our possession.

Love it!

Very nice!

I had a Grifo, too. I don't know where it went. ;-(

Yet another image of all my cars and trucks. Greyhound Scenicruiser, Firetruck, London bus, Ford Zephyr, Opel Diplomats, Mercedes coupe, Ferrari, Formula 1 car and more.

Another view of them.

All Matchbox cars. No Hot Wheels. No Budgie cars. No TootsieToys. Genuine vintage and played with Matchbox toys.

Ferrari Berlinetta.

Ferrari Berlinetta with matching collector's case!

I have 3 kids, they were born in '88, '90 and '92. When they were born, we had 2 cars. '85 Escort 2 door and an '87 Taurus sedan. We did just fine as long as the Taurus was not in the shop. I could put all 3 kids into the Escort and the whole family could pile into the Taurus, baby seats and all. We didn't take…

Regarding #7, I had an incident with a stuck throttle. I accelerated to pass another car and the pedal stuck. I killed the ignition and veered across 2 lanes to the right into a side street. An officer saw my maneuver, and followed. I had already hopped out to fix the linkage. I explained what had happened and…

Hi Officer, would you like a beer?

Just got home and I haven't looked at the suggestions. Here's my nomination: 1986 - 1991 Ford Taurus when equipped with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine and the 3 speed automatic transmission. How did this engine only manage 88 horsepower when my 1.9L Escort with a carburetor also had 88 hp? Rather than accelerating,…

Great article on the Blimp restoration. Thanks for linking it!

Any surprises that I'd vote NP? NP all day, regardless of build quality. These trucks are getting hard to find and even for a decent parts truck with a second motor, it is a great deal.

There's an Envoy XUV down the street from my house. I guess I don't mind the odd proportions of it because I'd not mind owning it but I just like odd cars. The Studebaker! I had a Matchbox type car of the Wagonaire when I was little and it was a favorite! Blue with a grey plastic sliding roof and tan interior. …

18 miles each way. 93 Roadmaster wagon was getting 2+ gallons per round-trip @ $4 per gallon which was eating up far too much of my meager earnings so I bought a Jetta TDi and use less than 1 gallon per round-trip and the Jetta costs far more in maintenance.

The thing with these old mill buildings in New England is that they were brick shells with wooden structures inside. Many are 100 years old or more and have no sprinkler systems. If they had any kind of machinery in them in the past, there could be oil soaked into the wood. Just add flame to it and you have a…
