Dude... Don’t pick this hill to die on. It was/is a POS.

Yes, the interiors of all its competitors were measurably, objectively better.

But then who saved the day?

$495 for knock-offs?!?!

A good friend of mine found this rare Pininfarina Design book while scouring yard sales in Monterey, CA for $2. You’ll notice it’s actually signed by Sergio Pininfarina. Details the factory and most of the cars he designed. It’s in Italian but has the insert with English translations.

Lawn Dart story: about 5 years ago my brother looked at me and said “ I should get some lawn darts for my cabin” The next day I come home and there is a set brand new in box in my kitchen. My mother had found them while cleaning out my grandmothers house. A happy coincidence.

Actually that hubcap is off a pre-75 model as that emblem was changed after 75. However, being that this is a market in Japan they may have used that emblem a little longer than they did in the US.

Have not had it for years now, but I bought a original wooden steering wheel off a super early Porsche 356 at a yard sale one Saturday a.m. Paid $20 for it in 1983. A college friend was telling me about his dad restoring a junkyard find 356 over the years. He had finished the engine and the exterior and was working on…

You can drive a Lego car, if you are really determined.

Holy crap, you should totally post that on Stillen’s FB page or somewhere he can see it! Nice job rescuing a neat piece of 90s racing history!

Like an Erector Set which has little nuts and bolts, with tiny axles, wheels and such. The olde MGs and Healeys were screwed all together. Lego just snaps together, like, say a modern Jaguar (So many plastic clips, so fragile, so No Longer Available...).

I found a 1st-gen RX7 wheel in a thrift store right outside of Nashville. It’s sitting proudly behind my coffee maker, strung up with lights. Pretty cool, and only $15.

Bought from the bank after the market crash in 2009. Three bed, 1-1/2 bath home in an older neighborhood. No garage, postage stamp for a back yard, had to put on a new roof, install new HVAC, water heater and appliances.

Found this during a recent visit to the local Pickers/consignment/estate place. I can’t remember what the asking price was other than it was more than I was willing to pay.

i would argue that you didn’t buy them, so you clearly didn’t come to your senses.

Damn, my real takeaway is that your mortgage payment was only $550...

I found this piece of racing history being totally neglected and dirty in a Salvation Army in the Finger Lakes in New York. It is a signed framed poster from Steve Millen, which caught my eye, but when I looked closer it is to the staff at the intensive care unit at the hospital, almost certainly after his terrible…

Found this 1:24 scale Maisto Boss Shinoda. I wish my 1:1 scale was a Boss...

The wheels and tires you see on this car:

Found this in a local Goodwill for a dollar. Figured it should have a good home.
