My office garage has some cool cars.
I see these cars while walking laps in the garage at lunch. S2ks, 911 turbo, Solstice GXE, ‘67 Caddy parade float. Not pictured: ‘64 Impala SS, Jaguar XK, Factory Five Cobra.
I found a thing.
What the flippin’ hell... When did K-cars start getting judged at shows??
The $30k Bentley. NPOCP?
12 year old (next month) Bentley with 103k. Never been a huge fan of the Flying Spur (or Bentley for that matter) but how crazy is taking a chance on this car for 30k? First additional purchase should be a warranty, if you can get one on a car that old with over 100k miles. Even if you turned your own wrench parts for…
One Week Drive: Honda Ridgeline
Honda redesigned their Ridgeline for 2017 after a year hiatus, not that many probably noticed. It’s a comfortable truck like the model it replaced, and strikes just the right balance between daily driver and utility. It’s ideal for folks who have the need to haul stuff often enough but don’t want to mess up the…
Geeked out on blipshift today
Got all OCD trying to identify all the car silhouettes in the image. My head hurts now.
Attention Sergio.. Please build this.
Because there’s no way I’m fitting my two kids in the back of a Mustang or Camaro vert when they’re older and I can finally afford a car like this. If it takes until 2021 like Allpar sez for the new Challenger, that’s just fine with me.
For the Poors
Because you need to know what just ran you over as you slide under the bumper..
So, I did a thing yesterday
Nothing hugely impressive, but I did replace a busted window regulator in my wife’s Jeep. What made it much easier was finding a video on YouTube. Shadetree mechanics, represent!
One Week Drive: Fiat 124 Abarth
Fiat is back in the convertible game, and its 124 Spider Abarth seems like just the thing for folks wanting a heavy dose of nostalgia to go with their top-down motoring. This car, like any 2-seat roadster, stands out like a sore thumb in traffic even if it is dwarfed by the SUVs it shares the road with. It’s just a…
Trying to stay focused..
It finally showed up - with new driver’s side rims & tires courtesy of Connecticut’s killer potholes. It rides like a skateboard but I kinda dig the backfire every time you shift when romping on it.
God. Damn. Potholes.
So the Focus RS I was supposed to get today for a week got laid low by one of Connecticut’s legendary potholes on its way to my house. (a half mile away, in fact..) Both driver side tires got blown out - I’m shocked the rims didn’t bite it too. Because the local Ford store doesn’t stock the Michelin Super Sports they…
It occurred to me the only difference between these Ferrari owners and the Mustang owners we love to rag on is the size of the monthly payment. Clearly the judgment and driving skills are closely matched.
Sure I'd trade in my Zil for this..
Just stumbled across the Volga 2020 concept. The front end is hideous, but if it got toned down (a lot) it wouldn’t be too bad. Not sure if that low roofline works though.
One Week Drive: Mercedes S550 Cabriolet
It’s been a long time since Mercedes offered a convertible version of its S-class - 46 years, to put a number on it. The big Benz cabriolet offers all the style and gadgetry we’ve come to expect in the range-topping S-class but now with a top that folds away in under 20 seconds. And an elegant profile to boot.
