    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “Nobody ever accused Gus Godley of being a visionary.
    In 1959, Gus was a janitor at Chrysler’s Highland Park headquarters, a long way from Fort Stockton, Texas, where common sense was considered a civic virtue and automobiles were generally expected to resemble automobiles. He swept floors, emptied wastebaskets, and consumed enough Folgers to keep a small freight train running on schedule.
    One rainy Tuesday morning, Gus was cleaning the Plymouth Design Studio before the stylists arrived.…”

    “I think adding the Buick rally wheels was a great choice, especially with the white wall tires. They spice it up a bit without being obnoxious. I imagine that pulling the car cover over this beast would be quite a workout. For me, the only wagon more desirable than this would be a 1968 Olds Vista Cruiser.”

    “A V10 Gated Gallardo is a big 12 year old goal for me to own. 12 year old me used to see the Gallardo all the time before the Huracan existed when I was in high school. No newer V10 baby Lambo can replace the Gallardo for being gated and better looking with age. GLWS on this Rosso Italian beauty.”

    “My best friend has his dad’s 240Z in this color combo. His dad died when he was young and he’s dreamt of getting it out of the garage, rust repaired, and running since. Sadly I’m not sure that day will ever come. This one… this is just fantastic. Wish he could have one go in his dad’s car… one day!
    Either way… @raffi is a top person and seller! Best of luck to the future buyer! The car will be delivered as promised.”

    “The German language 1989 color info brochure from Porsche lists lachsilbermetallic as color code Z9. I only see three other US market ’89s in this color, would argue that it’s more than 3 paint cans rare, per Rennbow.”

    “FAC’s faced the worst survival rate of any US aviators stationed in SE Asia. The job required amazing feats of flight on a daily basis. They had to manage a bank of radios to simultaneously coordinate and communicate with the ground troops they supported, the air assets that delivered ordnance and the headquarters that authorized the strikes. The marker rockets they laid down showed the fighter bombers where to hit, usually perilously close to our troops fighting for their lives. Any…”

    “This is cool. During the 1950s and 1960s, my grandmother worked for Helms Bakery in Montebello, CA. When I was young, I toured the plant and saw her working—baking donuts.
    She would bring home the cardboard miniature Helms trucks for me…
    Decades later, for her 90th birthday party, I made it a Helms Bakery–themed event and found an original unfolded cardboard Helms Bakery truck on eBay. I reproduced them so each table had a miniature Helms truck.
    The family went nuts over those…”

    “My wife drives a PT Cruiser. She LOVES the car. We’ve never been able to take it on any kind of road trip without a CEL. I keep an OBD II reader in the car. Two crankshaft position sensors, one camshaft position sensor, one idle air mixture valve, two ECMs, and numerous gas caps. Did I mention that she loves the thing?”

    “Another amazing 911. Norway knows how to build for sure. This is why I love coming to BAT. Not only do I learn more about some of the cars I never really got into. Plus with my serious health issues right now, BAT really helps me get up early, and make it through another day. And it gives me hope that one day I will own one. GLWTA!!!”
