I can remember shopping for a car, “building” the car I wanted on the manufacturer’s website, then sending it to 6 dealerships. 5 gave me the BS line “we’ve got what you want - come on in” and only 1 said that they didn’t have exactly what I wanted but here’s what we have - guess where I got the car...

Read his book. You don’t get repeat sales and referrals - his main source - by treating people badly.

I read his book. One of the main things I took away from it was if you piss off a customer by treating him badly, he will tell more people than the customer who was treated well.

I woudn’t be surprised if the original owner put it away as speculation - then died.

Too many were crashing them? ;-)

They are stupid. Although I like the “My kid can beat up your honor student” one.

Miss Mercedes (Fraulein Mercedes? ;-) ) If you want to imagine something really bizarre, imagine Mercedes being sold by Studebaker dealers.

I’ll bet Cena is off the “preferred buyer list” of not just Ford....

I got to drive a Model S at the factory in Fremont - punched it and all I can say is if felt like a very fast.....golf cart. All I heard was the tires humming on the pavement.

German cars have traditionally taken this job more seriously, offering the option of only illuminating the lamps on the side of the car facing the road, for more efficient battery usage, and even having special uniquely German dedicated parking lamps, little units that sit on the sides of the car and shine white…

In David’s case I would say that is an honest mistake. Granted they should have logged the heads serial numbers by customer, but what are the odds of having 2 Grand Cherokee heads in at the same time?

I don’t really have a horror story other than the occasional time where some parts guy is insisting this part is…

Supercharger draws on engine power constantly; turbo does not

They are trying to turn a bug into a feature. Surely they could come out with pads for the street - not track - that are quiet.

The 2 are as different as night and day. Both have their fans.

I am about to write a Craigslist ad to put my 86 for sale - I am the 2nd owner if you discount giving it to my girlfriend for a year or so 20 years ago - 340,000 miles, daily driver, $3,000.

I agree I don’t understand why the value has stayed so low - they are getting as rare as hens teeth, admired, but the price…

You’d think this would be a no-brainer. Hand over the title and take someone at their word they will make payments?

14 years old. 1964 E-Type Jag - coupe.

I’m told that he also helped develop the suspension in my 1st gen Toyota mr2.

I remember when the Ford GT came out his wife Evi bought him one and had a Gurney bump custom made.

II believe that he was the fellow who started the tradition of spraying champagne on the crowd with a victory. I think he started this with the Lemans win with Phil hill in the GT 40.
