    “What a neat rig with an incredible pedigree! And you won’t need to bring a trailer because it’s too precious. Just drive it home and enjoy it.
    I don’t have a lot to add on top of what others have said about Harold Allen except to say that many years ago I came into a collection of his Stroppe-related photos from Ford Motor Company and I’m forever grateful for those.
    I think this is the only Bronco I know of that was owned by one of Ford’s off road racing stars that has come to market in…”

    “Condolences to your Grandfather-he looked like a happy chap!
    He obviously cherished this BRG beauty!
    Cheers!”

    “The BMW 3.0 CSL is a 1970s icon. It has no equal. It’s the car upon which BMW has built its image and reputation since 1972”

    “I have a similar setup with a Rover 4.0. The all aluminum Rover is 35lbs lighter than the original 4 banger. I’m getting 26 mpg in mine.”

    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,…”

    CaptainMyCaptain commented on 1948 Mercury Wagon Woody Marmon-Herrington 4×4

    “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…”

    “I’m a tech at Colonial Toyota in Milford and saw this car come in the shop for service and the pictures do not do it justice on how incredible clean this car is, it’s in damn near showroom condition. Our whole shop was infatuated with this car. Our service writer Dwayne, was worried that it wouldn’t get done in time because we couldn’t stop drooling over it 😂 GLWS”

    “I have to admire the audacity and the laissez faire attitude! “…also notes “moderate damage” from a July 2014 accident in which the vehicle overturned” suggests that the owner approaches this Civic as Jeremy Clarkson approaches Reliant Robins.”

    “This is a couple more pictures of the owner for 55 years. They both have had a wonderful life together, the stories they could tell!”

    “Hello! My name is Peter and I love Volvo 240s. I learned to drive in a 240 wagon and the first car I ever owned was another 240 wagon. I have since owned and refurbished dozens of 240s and I regularly help other people with their 240s in Portland, Oregon. My current daily driver is a blue 1987 Volvo 240 Wagon with 444k miles on it. I bought it non-running a few years ago and have since put 27k miles on it, including a many road trips around the west coast.
    This green 1979 Volvo 242 is a…”

    This is one sweet ride…I trust I’m not the only BaTer in the mood for a slice of Key Lime pie :)”

    Hoppy18 commented on 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

    “I’m not old enough to have experienced this… But imagine seeing one of these in 1969.
    Verde Miura over blue is quintessential Lamborghini.
    Amazing design.
    One of the greatest ever.”

    Button commented on 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

    “I never thought I would say it, but, as this car shows, the cool factor for Cads has surpassed BMW, Audi, and Porsche. They finally got their interiors right too. Apparently the market agrees. The average transaction price for Cadillac is now $90k – more than BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, and behind only Porsche and Range Rover (you can’t really get any Porsche for $90k any more so that isn’t surprising).”

    “OK let’s get serious here.
    What a lot of us often don’t realize when we look at something like this is the enormous amount of time, engineering, design, and late night haunting representing thousands of hours by dedicated people to develop and refined a complete and functional performance car.
    You are not just buying the parts to make cars, you’re buying an entire history of what it took to build the cars.
    So…if you are contemplating building your own cars, this is an excellent way to…”

    Raffi commented on No Reserve: Shelby Rolling Chassis w/Series 1 Body Panels, Six Spare Chassis, & Parts Collection

    “I own both a Ghibli and a Daytona and although I really like the Daytona the Ghibli is my go to car for long drives or if I anticipate stop and go traffic. Both cars have beautiful lines. The Ghibli is more reliable and more user friendly. The steering wheel can be adjusted up/down and the seat back is adjustable. No such luck on the Daytona. This car has power steering while the Daytona feels like a truck at slow speed.
    The Maserati V8 has tons of low end torque while the V12 Ferrari needs…”

    “Awesome, I am so happy! This will live with several Ford Shelbys in the garage one of which being a ’65 GT350, so I am absolutely going to re-enact that magazine cover!!!! I’ll be driving it home to Pittsburgh and it will hardly be a trailer queen, but will be well taken care of.”
