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

    “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.”

    “Man, already at $4M before I could get my comment in….
    I want to thank the team at BaT for bringing us so far. It is amazing to cross the quarter million auctions milestone together.
    And a big thank you to the @1600veloce team for helping us mark the occasion with this beautiful 288. Anthony gets so much well-deserved credit, but it takes the whole team there to do the amazing things they do.
    And maybe my favorite part of BaT is that Lot #250,001, right behind this one, is a…”

    “I want to send a big congrats to the team @BaT for 250,000 listings! Kudos again to the team behind the scenes!
    Our team was so proud to be a part of this journey.
    @bringatrailer Randy I want to thank you for all the support and the fun ideas we have bounced off each other all these years. This listing like any listing, can be a bumper for an MG to a Halo Ferrari. It all belongs here. The best site, the best community.
    We discussed what type of car we would want to list. Well here…”

    1600veloce commented on Lot #250,000: 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO

    “These cars were so ahead of their time. Supercharged, intercooled, 4 wheel discs with ABS, IRS with adaptive damping, even pneumatic adjustable side bolsters. I still have my 35th anniversary 5 speed version, and it remains a pleasure to drive unlike most crude live axle domestics of the era.”

    “I’m so excited! This is something I want to share with my son who is a cancer survivor. A dad dream to teach my son how to drive a manual in one of my dream cars!”

    MoonieGT commented on 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX STi

    “Cars are not merely tools that transport us from one point to another, but they also act as companions on life’s journey. They’re present during our joyous adventures, supportive during melancholy journeys, and a symbol of triumph in our victories. They reflect our personal stories, embody our dreams, and even color our memories. They are “like rolling diaries,” chronicling the story of our lives through every dent, scratch, and modification.”

    “@the.flagrant.bidder no, that was chassis C22. You can read about C20 and C22 on the GTS-R registry at Viper Racing History.
    C20 presents an opportunity to own a piece of history from the program that dominated international GT racing at the turn of the millennium. Its win at Hockenheim in the FIA GT race on June 27, 1999 was part of a rare international sweep in which Viper Team ORECA simultaneously won the American Le Mans Series race at Mosport on the same day. The car’s “All American…”

    “All three Muncie 4-speeds were available in the ’69 Z28. Performance wise, the M20 is the best choice as it has a better first, second and third gear. This is all called out in my 1969 Camaro facto book. Bill “Grumpy” Jenkins always raced with the transmission with the lowest first gear. He told me this years ago.”

    JerryatCHP commented on 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Coupe 4-Speed

    “rgpiatt: The chain/sprocket assembly is for adjusting ride height. I worked in the Ford Design Studio from 2005-2022 and these adjustment mechanisms were primarily used on clay armatures and were adjustable to simulate various ride height conditions. These were used on non-powered “pusher” properties for market research and internal evaluation as well. These design studies definitely weren’t built to last and most wound up as scrap. I’m not sure if these older mechanisms allowed for track…”

    “So, I’m 16 years old and it’s 1972 and my dad had an investment advisor come to our house. I hear a loud car approaching and it’s a Mangusta! I’d never seen one before in the flesh. Only in car magazines, and it was like a UFO landed from another planet! As a car obsessed kid since I can remember, I went outside and walked all around that car, taking in every sinuous line. When the meeting with my dad was over, the guy let me sit in the Mangusta. I remember that day like it was yesterday…”

    “There are so many things in life that we want, but really don’t need !!!
    I love classic time pieces and its amazing to see the value in something like a “Paul Newman Rolex Daytona” and the price someone is willing to pay to own one. Half the fun of owning something like this is coming up with an excursion to utilize it !!! We only go around this crazy world once, and spending a weekend with friends and family playing with this “toy” is worth the price of admission !!!
    Very cool. I have a…”

    “These aged so well. When new,I preferred the 300ZXTT. 30 years on, it is Supra by a mile. Although there’s much to be said about the FD RX-7, I’ll always give the nod to the car with the legendarily stout engine over the “finicky” one!”

    “Take that front light bar off and scenes from Laurel and Hardy movies come immediately to mind. Nothing left but a pile of Model T parts. The bar holds the entire car together.
    I can find black touch up paint, it’s the alligator finish that’s difficult to achieve. Apparently it needs 100 years to set up.”
