Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

“The 991 GT3T reigns supreme. Many folks say the 992 is superior. When you sit in a 992 you stare into the soulless abyss of darkened computer screens.
I don’t care how good a 911 is if it makes me feel like I’m at work staring at a computer screen!”

“I figured it was about time I got a GS – having grown up with DS’s starting in 1962 when my late father, the first industrial hygienist in the US, brought home, a 58 DS 19 – the early series which was as complicated as they could get. Funny thing was it was a trade-in at a Studebaker dealers shop in Salt Lake City Utah, the middle of nowhere back then. but dad, although a chemist, had a hankering for mechanical stuff and built large gasoline powered model airplanes when he was a kid.
Even…”

“I will say this with great confidence. This coach is a unicorn. I can’t predict outcomes but I know from thousands of miles on the rv highway that this rig is the real deal. The new owners will have both a show piece and an amazing coach. In the rv world these coaches in well preserved form are showstoppers.”

“Great to see such an excellent example of the car that reset the standard of what to expect from a small car. Not enough people understand how the Accord raised the bar for attractive design and basic equipment. The rustproofing material is most typical of any car sold in western Pennsylvania, where salt use and rust were commonplace… probably instrumental in keeping this car on the road and on your screen today.

“Wow! Owner of touring #9 here. Hope to see a second B8 4.6 touring come to the US! If the new owner is US based, please find me. Happy to connect and provide steer on how to maintain this thing in the US. I just refreshed the hydraulic system on my car after getting it back from the BMWCCA Foundation museum.
The unique thing about the Alpina B8 touring is it’s the only e36 touring chassis that got the m3 rear subframe reinforcements welded in as well.”

“This is SW, this car belonged to me for quite a while. I purchased it as a 4 speed A/C car. It was extremely nice, straight with a beautiful undercarriage, which was the main reason I bought it. The Paint was nice but I am very picky so we disassembled it and had it blocked and resprayed. It drove amazingly well. After a few years I sold it to a friend so I wouldn’t take it apart and make it a restomod like all my others. He had a 5speed installed, drove it some but since he owns over 75 other…”

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

“I am the previous of this car and I knew the engineer that built the car. The builder was a very talented engineer and sadly he passed away. I knew the car and I bought it from his estate. The car is a blast to drive and I will miss it. The only reason I have for selling it is that I am getting old and I still have a bucket list of cars that I would like to own before it is too late. I am sure that the new owner of this car will get a lot of enjoyment out of it.”

“It is a particular pleasure to make comments about this particular alloy engine . disc brake 300SL Roadster. 210 of the total of 1958 300SL Roadsters manufactured between ’57-’63 had the lower weight alloy block engines. These were produced from 3/62 through 2/8/63. The factory built an initial run of 229 numbered alloy block engines, all in 1962, 19 of which were “spares” I owned a number of this variety of 300SL RO’s including this one from ’89-’98. As I recall it was completed in the…”

“My wife & I got married in July 1978. We packed her little red Chevette to the hilt with all of our wedding gifts and drove from Chicago to Houston with only gas stops along the way. Took us 24 hours! After a few years the drivers floor pan rusted through. A sheet of 3/8 plywood cut to size fixed that. It was no longer the Fred Flintstone mobile! Also had a problem with the horn button. Every time we would turn the wheel to take a corner the horn would honk. NO PROBLEM! We would wave at…”

“I am a retired Industrial Designer. Those out there who studied the curriculum know the hours and sleepless nights spent in the shop building scale models of soooo many consumer goods for curriculum projects….clay, plaster, and YES…WOOD.
I am speechless as I view this work of art.
YES…puns will abound here and as the new “caretaker”…(hopefully an arborist)… will soon discover…this is a MASTERPIECE in sculpting that will be the highlight any cruise/car show.
One thing every…”

“A ton of period chrome doo dads added to this bike. I can see both sets of floor boards, all hand controls, grips, shifter pegs and foot brake, fork lowers, crash bars, most of the case covers, and others I might not be seeing. That dual exhaust alone was probably $1k. That’s what we did to these bikes back in the day!”

“In ’68 my mom drove a ’65 impala… I remember sitting, well standing, behind pretending to cruise. Somehow I slipped it in N and rolled backwards into the street… I remember mom running out of the laundry mat in her feather hat and night robe… ha ha… I also remember sleeping in the rear window on long journeys. Different times! I was 4”

“Hi to all. Yes I am happy to own an Elan again. I use to own an Elan S4 1970 back in 1971 in New York and I’ve never stopped missing it since I sold it after a couple of years ….even dreaming about it every now and then!”

“My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger…”

“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…”
