“Buy it, drive it, join us a few times a year to stare at each others cars and meet great people. Cool community for a car that is surprisingly easy to drive. My first road trip was Tail of the Dragon in January ‘24 my 16 yr old at the wheel…memories forever”

“Here is some history on the Grand Prix of America race car
This car originates from Grand Prix of America (GPA), an ambitious early 1970s motorsports venture conceived and executed by the DeLorean brothers in Troy, Michigan. Developed in Detroit with race engineering intent, GPA sought to deliver an authentic Grand Prix style driving experience to the public through purpose built single seaters and permanent road courses—establishing a direct lineage to later attractions such as Malibu…”

“In my dad’s early car-guy days he had six MGBs in a row. He would tinker with each then move them along to fund the next project. Then later in (my) early car-guy days we heard of a 1980 Limited Edition barnfind that was available nearby. It was the only iteration of the MGB that my dad had yet to own. Once we brought it home, I learned some things on it like how to bleed the brakes and clutch, make minor metal repairs, detailing tips/tricks, and most importantly how to drive a manual…”

“Was fortunate enough to see the first Spyker offering I think in 2001 at the Geneva auto show, while visiting my brother in Suisse. The aeronautical touches including the gear shift were amazing. This is an awesome opportunity for some lucky future custodian”

“Many can own this. Very few can restore this. Some can ride this. It’s a commitment at all levels and entirely worth it. Legendary bike.”

Longer and wider than an Escalade, the Celestiq is the pinnacle of American craftsmanship and luxury.”

“Yes, used to throw those Muncies in and out like they were plastic ! I remember drag racing on Saturday night and getting home around midnight, working on the car all night , reload and head 50 miles north on Sunday to race again.”

“What a great story, thanks for sharing…
Also great to see these old cars getting used, dirty and maybe a rock-chip memory or two…
That Gulf Livery 911 was spotted by me on Fathers Day coming down from Pinecrest last year.
It was my first time taking my daughter on an annual camping trip my wifes family has been doing for years. Wife doesn’t like camping so after years of declining the invite, I decided my daughter was old enough to give ‘glamping’ a shot as an entry into another…”

“Back when BMW Car Club of America was still young and Hoffman Motors was the sole U.S. Distributor, it was the club members who offered guidance to BMW owners regarding things to watch out for. One such piece of advice was to avoid purchase of BMWs with two-stage metallic paint due to failure of the clear coat.
Complaints ranged from dulling, checking to llifting and separation of large clear coat sections on all horizontal surfaces — hood, roof and decklid. After numerous complaints,…”

“These are great cars. Very nimble. Really high build quality. 2.8 is silky smooth. I bought a 99, new and still have it. I can’t bear to part with it. There are things I like about it better than all the other Audis that I have.”

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

“Nobody in Fort Stockton ever knew exactly where Harold and Eleanor Whitcomb were headed when they left, and after a while they stopped asking. It had become as dependable as church bells and the Dairy Twin closing at nine. Every Sunday, sometime after lunch, the old Mercury wagon would ease out of their driveway with a picnic basket tucked behind the front seat and Harold’s weathered county highway map folded neatly beside him. They never seemed to have a destination. Yet when they returned,…”

“Great road test; beautiful sound bathing the cabin as you work the gears…no weird clunks, just straight-up British Sports Car excellence. GLWA! Given the bids already, I won’t be seeing this in my Virginia garage any time soon, alas.”

“I drove a 2012 manual Fit for three years before I lost it in a flood trying to cross an underpass. They float extremely well by the way.
It was SO much fun to drive. It fit two bikes in the back with the seats up. Storage was best. I’ve not had a similar size car since that was as enjoyable. The Fiesta ST is a close second but the FIT had better (less) torque steer when burning the tires in the wet. It would get rubber past 2nd gear on moist roads.
Indestructible….unless you drive it…”
