    “You may be cool, but you’ll never be as cool as Steve McQueen. He was, after all, the King of Cool.
    That being said, you’d be a lot cooler riding this than you are right now!”

    “Well folks, that is a wrap and the end of a 15 year search. I knew about this car from way back when my mechanic serviced my other Lotus cars. I never in a million years thought it would come up on BaT, this should be quite an adventure!!!”

    “The first thing I looked at was the first driving video, and that made my morning, seeing the focus with the manual steering. No lackadaisical grip on that wheel.
    Just the right street car for getting the blood pumping, without needing to get crazy to do it. A simple and easily maintainable build, with no exotic or exceptionally expensive components, and easy access to pretty much everything. It seems like a car that can happily sit on a battery tender, with some fuel stabilizer, and be…”

    enricojillforlenza commented on 1980 Porsche 911SC Coupe

    “I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
    More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
    This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

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

    “So an observation of a very obscure Honda factoid. This car has the dealer installed, recall program Takata black plastic guides still in place on the front seat belt latches. The Honda and Acura recall notice back then stated there were complaints about the front seat belts not latching properly. This was Takata’s solution. There was a rumor published at the time saying Honda’s president attributed the problem to us Americans spilling our soft drinks into the latches. Funny, he was…”

    “As a Viper enthusiast, I’ve always found myself drawn to the unique, well-optioned examples, particularly the cars that came through the GTC 1 of 1 program.
    I tend to break the Gen V ACRs into three general categories. First are the more race-focused 3-speaker ACRs, with 456 produced. Second are the factory Special Editions — GTS-R, VooDoo II, Snakeskin, 1:28 and Dealer Edition — which account for 214 cars in total. Finally, there are the 290 GTC ACRs, a little over 100 of which…”

    “Good evening everyone and welcome to our latest Premium, Exclusive, Bring-A-Trailer Auction!
    For our many Mercedes-Benz fans and AMG aficionados, you are in for a rare and very special treat!
    AMG built just 35 of these scarce, pre-merger, treasures and 25 of them were immediately scooped up by the Sultan of Brunei and never to be seen again…
    This is just one of the ten built, that were snuck out to private collections to come our way and the first to come from an original…”

    “One of VERY few factory supercharged Saleen’s from 1993. And people talk about 93 Cobras being rare…pffft. factory Supercharged Saleen Foxbody has entered the chat…. No disappointments here. A great car that I have personally been around and driven. Best of luck to all bidders and the seller. Mark has the good stuff!!”

    “Rare and eerily beautiful.
    I saw one of these driving down our main street years ago when the rear door opened and the coffin slid out and kept rolling down the street. People tried to slow it down but no luck. Finally a clerk from the local drug store ran out, caught up to the speeding casket and sprayed Robitussin all over it.
    Boy did that ever stop the coffin.”

    “I’ve learned a lot on this project. Thank you dad, grandpa, uncles, and friends to show me around the toolbox. This project has certainly helped me as a 15T Blackhawk mechanic to pick up aviation terminolgy easier. I wouldn’t have had the start I did without your help. My projects started small LOL, but have gotten bigger over the years. If anyone has any remaining questions, feel free to ask. Happy to see this car go to a good owner, but I’m happy to drive it around to car shows and…”

    “The Lexus LS430 was built at the moment when the pursuit of perfection and the economics of mass production briefly coincided. That window has closed; it may not open again in our lifetime. And so these cars matter—not for what they are worth in dollars, but for what they prove: that it was possible, that once, for six years in a factory in Tahara, Japan, human beings got as close to perfect as human beings have ever got in the building of a motorcar. And then they stopped, and we moved on……”

    “It started with Rusty claiming he’d seen a tailfin where no tailfin had any business being.
    “Back behind the Piggly Wiggly,” he said at the Rusty Hammer, red beard twitching like it had picked up a signal. “Down that alley nobody uses except teenagers and stray cats. There’s chrome back there.”
    Chrome is sacred in Fort Stockton. You either polish it or you inherit it.
    By mid-afternoon, half the town had found an excuse to wander behind the Piggly Wiggly. From the patio at…”

    “I’ve owned my S1 since 1979, worked as a mechanic at a Lotus dealer 1972 – 1974. When I drive and park my Elan in Elkhart Lake, it draws a crowd. Driving the back roads around Elkhart along with the old race track is such a pleasure, little to no traffic, no semi’s. Life is good with a Lotus Elan.”

    “I really didn’t want to get emotional about this sale, just easier to handle letting her go in a detached transparent and informative manner. Truth be told, this 1964 Beetle is the last in a long line of Volkswagens I have owned over the decades. My love for Beetles has its origin in a 1961 Beetle my father drove from Newark, NJ to Eugene OR that year after serving two years duty in Germany. A buddy of my dad’s bought the latest 1961 Beetle but couldn’t drive it off the dock as he didn’t…”
