Yesterday’s comments of note: A Practical Look

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

“Of course, the whole 250,000 Auctions Milestone was all anybody could talk about at the Grounds for Divorce. Lucinda started promoting it the minute the listing went live, offering a Two-Fer on Texas pecan pie and free Folgers to anyone who showed up wearing a Bring a Trailer T-shirt.
Hank over at the Lucky Lady Lounge had a similar promotion going, but the T-shirt had to be wet and there were considerably fewer takers. Ultimately, Earl from Earl’s Salvage Yard and Formalwear took home the…”

“OK, I’ve been meaning to write this story for awhile now, and so now is the appropriate time to share that story.
I remember in the early 2000s when all the trade rags showed the new Mustang. they were beautiful. I would periodically go and test drive them. I remember once driving a GT with a 3.73 rear end and a 5-speed manual and that thing had some git up and go!
Where I live, they have a car show every MLK weekend. They had one of these Bullitts on display and I wanted one.…”

“As the owner of a 73 1600 Touring, these are fun and useful with the rear seats folded down lots of cargo space they are a few inches shorter than sedans and have a more aerodynamic windshield angle. At a 02 meet up they are rare.

“It’s hard to let my “Baby” go, after 55 years and so many upgrades and good experience. I hope the next owner appreciates and enjoys it as much!”

“Gotta love ❤️ 84.9 CENT/gal gas on 10 JAN 1994. Seriously, this 2nd Gen (1992) Honda Wagon is virtually identical to the one our family drove from that year to 2009 with zero issues. It was the reason I got another white 1993, virtually identical to this one, on BaT recently to relive the best car ever. It actually has a little “Grannymobile” sticker on the rear window. GLWTA!”

“I’m so excited! This is something I want to share with my son who is a cancer survivor. A dad dream to teach my son how to drive a manual in one of my dream cars!”

MoonieGT commented on 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

“Cars are not merely tools that transport us from one point to another, but they also act as companions on life’s journey. They’re present during our joyous adventures, supportive during melancholy journeys, and a symbol of triumph in our victories. They reflect our personal stories, embody our dreams, and even color our memories. They are “like rolling diaries,” chronicling the story of our lives through every dent, scratch, and modification.”

“Cool wagon, and with the manual it’s a unicorn! These 3.2’s are great engines. My Dad has a C320 wagon pushing 300k miles, and running strong.”

“This Mangusta is a great opportunity! I can say this because I owned it prior to Oliver. My shop Grand Touring (grandtouring.com) has considerable experience with almost every Italian exotic. (Recently, we even had two Vallelungas in the shop simultaneously). I searched for quite some time looking for a solid no stories Mangusta for my personal collection. I was excited to find it and never planned to part with it. Regrettably, I needed to part with it to raise cash when the building next…”

chuckwray commented on 1969 DeTomaso Mangusta

“Thank you all for the responses! This car has been in my family since the mid 90’s and one that I fell in love with the moment my Grandfather brought it home. As a kid I use to sit in the back seat and watch him drive it (amazed at how his hands and feet would move) and whenever it was parked I would sit behind the wheel and pretend to drive it myself. When I finally turned 16 he taught me how to drive and although there were many frustrating moments for him and I in this car we both would love…”

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

“I would have seen this car take pole Vancouver Indy. Never missed a day of Indy CART when we had the series in Vancouver. What experiences! Those of us that are hardcore racing fans should count ourselves lucky to see have these cars run. I fear for open wheel racing with the growth of hybrid/EV. You just cannot substitute internal combustion and the screaming revs , the smells, the vibrations deep in your chest .
Magnificent car, this example. And the absolute top of the heap for its…”

Tobyallen commented on Ex–Jacques Villeneuve 1995 Reynard-Ford Cosworth 95I

“Jacques Villeneuve is from my home province of Quebec and is a legend in these parts for having won the F1 Championship in ’97.
His father was Gilles, was one of the most electrifying F1 drivers ever. 1982 R.I.P.”

JamesTH commented on No Reserve: 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT Project

“I drove one of these on the Lotus Factory test track, a phenomenal car. This has the touring suspension which makes it a nice daily driver. I did not drive an Emira with the sport suspension but from what I hear it is still very streetable. I have a friend with an Emira so far the only repairs are software updates.”

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

“A turquoise R2 4-speed is the quentessential Avanti and very few other cars for the same money will draw more attention.
However, been so long since I have seen an Avanti MSRP window sticker, I’d forgotten Studebaker had the unmitigated gall to ding the buyer $20 for TV advertising and $50 for Metro advertising. Go figure!
I bow to no man in my love for the Avanti, but it was always costly and this just seems to be added insult to injury.

“I’ll tell you, when I was a kid in the ‘80s I thought the two coolest cars in existence were the Countach and the 928. I held them in almost equal regard. I’m happy to see a pinnacle 928 getting the love!”

URS6 commented on 21k-Mile 1994 Porsche 928 GTS 5-Speed

“I love vintage Ferraris. Thought I would get a late 70’s or early 80’s 308GTB but last year became smitten when this came and went:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-ferrari-308-gt4-8-2/
This will be very well taken care of. Going in the garage the second it arrives and will be driven enough to enjoy and still preserve the integrity of the car.”
