Understanding yesterday’s comments of note

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

“I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

“Outstanding 7 litre rare cat! You’d likely encounter a (live) cougar in the wild before ever seeing another one of these, incredible GLWTA”

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!”

“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:

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.”

“Why would someone build this?
You can also ask yourself:
Why would someone climb Mount Everest?
Why run 26.2 miles
Why enter a steel cage and fight hand to hand until you quit or get knocked out?
Why would you want to be “The strongest man in the world”?
There are so many things in life that will never make sense to a lot of us, and to most of us this build makes no sense. I guarantee that to some this is the ultimate piece of industrial art.
Ownership puts you in a class of…”

“At the final bid, you could have bought 31,858 sets of WeatherTech mats! Personally I think the Chiron is a better use of space. Congrats!”

IMCARS commented on 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sport

“This is why people started following BAT, not for dealers flipping 2004 Ford Rangers with new paint. I have never heard of this thing, very unique, just don’t want to be behind it on a hill.”

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

“Anyone with the wrenching skills and the work space could have a lot of fun with this. Forget show car status, this is a drive it while you play with it diamond in the rough. First, pay the bucks to get an expert diagnosis of the issues. The interior looks more than serviceable so just get it running right…not perfect, just safely drivable. You now have a great project (father and son?) that will constantly reward your efforts. Take your time going through the mechanical needs…then move on…”

“All of a sudden it’s 2003, I’m in my parents’ living room putting Need for Speed Underground into my Gamecube. I’ve got a Focus with green underglow and nitrous. It’s built to dominate the circuit races, but I need a better car for drifting. My dad helps me with some of the tougher races – we’re gonna watch some Monster Garage after we get a few races in.
Shoot… I might just go into my own living room now and pop the game into the Gamecube. For old time’s sake.”

“Cool build! I’m not much of a rat rod guy but this has so much going for it I couldn’t resist checking it out. The radiator mounted in back is is very well done and I love the way the grill shell keeps with the voodoo/Tiki vibe! And a hemi? Awesome.”

“‘Love it when he owner provides spirited driving videos! Congratulations to @waltnelson. That was a fun ride. I’ve had my teal blue ’73 B//GT for 39 years now. I only drive it when I need to go somewhere in a car. (Think about that for a moment…) Well… I don’t drive it in snow/salt season. I agree with all the great comments about these cars already posted here; adding only that the B/GT is about the most useful little car on the planet, and that MG owners have got to be…”

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

“Son of the late owner here. My dad found and imported this car (and a few others, including the recent Woodie Fiat Topolino on BaT). He had a collection of several dozen vintage European cars, including many Ferraris, Alfa’s, Lancia, Fiats, Porsches, etc. He was a perfectionist when it came to cars and became more interested in hot rods like this one as time went on because they were more fun to drive on the gorgeous NY back roads. The car would have received /anything/ recommended by Frank…”

“Thanks for a good battle @camarojamie This car will remain as it sits with just a thorough mechanical restoration. This thing will be back on CA roads in a few months!”

“I just want to say that this car has brought so many good moments to my husband and I through the years. So many shout outs……fun at car shows…..he drove it to our wedding….we rode home in it after. It’s been a part of most of our life celebrations in some way. He passed away this year and it feels time to let someone else make a memory with it. Whomever gets it, I hope you enjoy it as much as we have ❤️”
