“I would argue the GMT800 is one of the best platforms GM has ever made. You just can’t kill them.”
“Indeed, E46 M3 is one of the best driver’s cars ever made and perfect for a DD.”

“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…”

“In the 70’s (in college), I had a summer job at Stern-Hasskell ( high end dealer ) in the Bronx NY. That is where I saw my first and only Mangusta. I never forgot it. It is as stunning today as it was all those many years ago. Thanks for the memories!!”

“In 1978, just after graduating from college, I held three jobs, waiter in a restaurant, a raft guide in nearby West Virginia, and a luthier. I would work in my wood studio from monday-friday and then hop in my old volvo with my lab to drive to WVA for my Saturday work on the New or Gauley river, then back on Sunday for my 12 hour shift at the Virginian in Charlottesville.
As a 24 year old I had all the energy in the world. In those days the interstate had not yet been completed in WVA so I…”

“Hi everyone, I bought this incredible 850 with the intention on keeping it forever. Plans change and unfortunately it’s time to part ways. I have had an amazing past year with this car but by far the highlight has to be the road trip home from Calgary to Florida. Instead of heading straight back we headed west thru Banff, Vancouver, Olympic National Park, Redwoods, Monterey Car Week, and Yosemite. I picked up a mattress from Ikea and slept in the back the whole way. 10 days, 5,100 miles and 0…”

“66 is considered a lucky number in various cultures, including Chinese culture, where it symbolizes smooth progress and harmony in relationships. In numerology, it is associated with love, balance, and nurturing partnerships. It’s also a darn fine C2 year!
GLWTA!”

“I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
Me: “In the USA.””

“Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

“I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

“For reference, the H2R is capable of pushing speeds well over 225, with some claims upwards of 250 mph, while cranking out almost 330 hp. The supercharger has to spin almost 10 times faster than the crank, so at full rev the impeller is spinning approximately 130,000 rpm and pumping over 50 gallons of compressed air into the motor every second. It was designed and developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries’ aerospace division.
Impressive engineering, don’t you think?”

“This model was developed as a competition Enduro machine with the help of John Penton, who rode one to the AMA National Enduro Championship in 1969, it’s first year of production. Malcom Smith also earned a gold medal with one in the ISDT. Unlike the Cross and other HVA models, it did not have a fully floating rear brake. Riders preferred the Cross models for desert racing. For the Baja, Smith ran the 8-Speed in a Cross chassis.
@T100SC 8-speed cases are easily recognizable, with a…”

“My first car was a 74 2002, non-tii. I learned how to heel-and-toe in that car and used to make fun of my friend Bob who had a GTO he thought was real tough. Oh sure, in a straight line he’d blow me away but he had to start braking for turns about ½ mile out, and I’d just cruise by him, by the time we left the turn he was in my mirror, then in about 15 seconds I’d choke on his exhaust as he smoked (literally) past me. My other friend Rich said if he ever robbed a bank he would hire me as his…”

“Well that was fun! I just wanted to comment here that i fell in love with this car when I was 16 years old. The first car I ever bought myself at 17 was a 1992 Black SHO, and my friend had a white 89. I’ve owned 5 of the Gen 2 cars since 2003 and I’ve been waiting to add the right SHO to my collection. I have my favorite car from each decade and the car from the 80s was the last missing piece. I am excited to year the secondaries open on the Yamaha 3.0 and to show my 3 young kids what peak…”

These photographs show RT3-468 during Phil’s ownership wearing its California Cooler livery and add another documented chapter to the car’s history and provenance. It has been a real pleasure reconnecting with Phil after all these years and…”
