    Serialcollector commented on Ex–Viper Team ORECA 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R

    “I was 13, accompanying my dad when he drove his ’76 308 GTB Vetroresina to Los Gatos Ferrari for a service appointment. I wandered into the showroom, saw the F355’s… and right smack dab in the middle of the room was this car. Not this exact same one, but an Azure Blue-over-Magnolia Esprit V8. I had never even heard of Lotus before that moment, but I was mesmerized. I sat in the driver’s seat, smelled the leather, saw the red V8 in back… and suddenly forgot that I was surrounded by yellow…”

    “I owned two 1976 Trans Ams back in the ’80s and ’90s: a 400 4spd and a 455 4spd. They are really special cars. I often notice TA owners leave the shaker hood scoops sealed, and I wonder why. It takes a few minutes to remove the plate and the intake noise completely changes the driving experience and adds some power. My friends would ask me to get on it just so they could hear the roar from the shaker scoop which sounded like it would suck in animals and small children if they were too close.…”

    “My dad is a 90 year old retired firefighter. I’m wondering what he would say if I showed up in his driveway with this for his upcoming birthday. He’d probably figure out a way to water his tomato plants with it… 🤔😂”

    “The previous owner was a good friend of mine that has now gone to the garage in the sky. Seeing this brings up some great memories and I like to think he’s watching the auction from above. This was his final sale before he passed, he was pretty much in his last days during the auction. I was so pleased the auction went so well for him at the time. One final time at BAT and he hit it out of the park! Love ya an miss ya Joe!
    And to the next owner of this amazing rig…congrats in advance,…”

    “WOW! I am speechless. what an incredible auction full of passionate enthusiasts. I’m humbled by it all, and so incredibly happy to see that people recognize the hard work and love I put into this car — and also the obvious appreciation of the goldilocks nature of the 987.2 2.9L.
    thank you to everyone who commented and bid, and especially thanks and congratulations to @D4307. you’re getting a truly incredible car!
    I’ll be in pain seeing it go, but as Epictetus said: never say of anything…”

    “I have fond memories enjoying this car before selling it to J Seminetta years ago… It’s one of many I wish I never sold! It’s great to see it so well maintained
    and cared for all these years. Killer Car! The new owner will love it.”

    “Gorgeous! I drove an ‘85 all through college in the ‘90s. Even through the Michigan winters. So many fun times in that car! I sold it with around 150,000 miles on it. Years later i ran into the woman that bought it. She had 220,000 miles on it. Fenders were falling apart with rust. But that in-line 6 still ran like a top!”

    “It is hard to imagine now how many of these cars were basically abandoned when gas approached $1.00 a gallon in the late 70s. I bet many people wish they had their old hemi cars now.”

    “This was about as cool as it got in the HS parking lot in late-80s Connecticut. Love it.”

    maxtodon commented on 1981 Volkswagen Scirocco 5-Speed

    “I have this near identical car. Patina’d sahara, warmed over M10, goldish wheels, mint interior, same rust spots, and even the same roof rack. Out of my small fleet, this one gives me more smiles per gallon than the rest.
    Having an engine done by Korman is a real nice bonus. Ray has a great shop and is a top tier engine and restoration shop. Hopefully the next new owner can show it off at At The Vintage event in Maggie Valley this weekend.”

    “Wow !! Brings back wonderful memories as I learned how to drive on my Dad’s ‘60 Bonneville convertible ..He was a “car guy”having several Chrysler letter cars before I talked him into the Bonneville. Our neighbor had a ‘59 Bonneville convertible and he took me for a ride on a warm summer night with the top down …When he hit the gas and I heard that VROOOM of the carbs opening I was smitten !!
    He told my Dad to make sure he ordered the Tri/Power option to match the power of his…”

    Noisyboyz commented on 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible

    “Many years ago i used to take quite a few road trips and generally would find any excuse i could make up just to do so . There was always a destination , but the journey was the reason , just a love of being on the open road and feeling young and unencumbered . I always used to have my “Road Trip” tape which i had previously recorded and was quite long and had a wide variety of music to listen to on the road but the same song , first up on the tape , “Vehicle” by The Ides of March always…”

    “The 996T manual has become a gold mine, and it’s super fun to drive. What more could one want in a 911 Turbo, the quintessential sports car of the modern era? Enjoy ownership in safety and good health.”

    “My grandparents bought a Yugo new (I want to say it was a 1987). I was about 13 or 14 years old, few years later my single parent mom working 3 jobs to raise 3 kids needed a “reliable” car and bought the Yugo from my grandparents. I was 16 or 17 by now and getting into my driving days. The Yugo manual transmission is the car that I learned in. After I got my license, I drove the car often and one day rolled through an intersection and crashed into an old lady. I was devastated that I wrecked my…”

    Willettfanboy commented on No Reserve: 1990 Yugo Cabrio 5-Speed

    “I saw this car in person at a show several years back, this is a very well kept and well curated example that presents at least as nice in person as it does in photos.
    A notchback 900 is on my list of Saabs to own, I don’t care if it’s a 2 or 4 door. I’m hoping one day I’ll come across another admiral blue over blue cloth sedan like I had in college.”
