    “I remember filling out a postcard to get a promotional dvd for this car when i was 14. The dvd was about 5 minutes of this car doing straight line accelerations and burnouts. I watched it a ton of times. I thought it was badass then and I still do now.”

    “My old GTX! What a joy to see it again, and looking so darn sharp.
    Thank you for the shout Randy @BaT – I would’ve missed the listing otherwise. Time travel is fun, eh?
    I bought this car in Las Vegas in 2012 after years of hunting for a good one. Even back then, they were quite rare. On the drive home to San Francisco, I took a dirt detour through Titus Canyon in Death Valley, and you can see pics from that in the original auction gallery. One of my favorite car memories of all…”

    “Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
    Then he bought Fred.
    Officially, it was a 1949…”

    “If you told me 10 years ago that GM’s only manual performance car would be a Cadillac sedan, I’d have told you you’re crazy.”

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

    “So here’s a little story about why I bid on this car. Our family owns this car’s exact twin, but a 2008 model. Our daughter bought it from us to take to college, and named it Joe. Joe has been a faithful member of our family and now has about 190,000 miles, plus lots of bumps and bruises. Our daughter loves Joe and couldn’t imagine driving any other car. But Joes needs some TLC. When this car came up, it seemed like a sign. It literally is Joe, but with a small fraction of the miles…”

    “Ridgelines have quite a following.
    In fact there is an online forum dedicated specifically to the Honda Ridgeline (https://www.ridgelineownersclub.com/).
    My personal belief is that they are so robust and long lived because they utilize proven engines, transmissions (mostly), AWD design, and even body engineering.
    They’re not mechanically high strung, cutting edge, uber fashionable vehicles.
    You’re getting solid engineering and time-proven design.
    Just the kind of vehicle you can picture…”

    “I went to school in Caterham – walked by the small factory everyday, and saw them out on demo runs – made myself a promise that I would own one.
    Mine’s a 2002 Duratec 2.3l, 5-speed Quaife gearbox, De Dion with LSD rear.
    Try this pronunciation as “K8RUM” as one word.”

    “The other 212 with which I am familiar is the Petersen’s 212/225 that was purchased so that HFII could evaluate it along with other two-seaters in preparation for developing their competitor for the Corvette, the Thunderbird. That one is even longer, built on the Europa 2+2 chassis, with the 210 hp three carb 225 (2,700 cc) engine. This is the only Barchetta I’ve seen that didn’t have the signature baseball glove-stitched leather padding on the cockpit surround. The first Ferrari to win…”

    “From all the trips I did in my classic cars (60s Jaguars, air-cooled 911s or classic Ferraris) the most memorable one was in a TVR to the Monaco Classic F1 Grand Prix in the early 2000s. Speeding on the German Autobahn, crossing the Swiss Alpes and driving the curvy canyon roads in the Provence down to the French Riviera in my dream car as a student, the TVR Griffith 500.
    Parking in front of the Hotel de Paris next to the dozens of multi-million Ferraris and Lamborghinis it was my little TVR…”

    “I remember these. I’m 74 now, but In 1965 or so I saw an ad somewhere and sent off for a flyer. Dad was going to buy a Ford Wagon and I thought, cool. I was maybe 14 at the time but they sent me a brochure. I also got a brochure for a Piper Apache but didn’t buy one of them either (I did get my pilots license though in the 80’s). We got the wagon but not the camper. Slept in the back of the wagon many times. It was a beast.”

    “Some final hour Sport evolution M3 fun facts.
    The sport evolution is the 3rd evolution of the E30 M3 homologated for racing. It was produced for just 3 months in 1990 resulting in 600 models. 500 models were required to evolve a race car at the time. Only 204 Red Sport evos were ever made.
    This car is 100% original in terms of parts. The modifications are exactly as it left BMW.
    The Sport evo was the only E30 M3 to feature a 2.5 Liter S14 engine making 238 HP.
    Some easy to spot visual…”
