    “I own an’07 Miata. Nothing goes wrong. Maintenance is inexpensive. It’s a total blast to drive top down. New owner here is gonna be happy with the value he/she gets for the $ spent. These are simply GREAT vehicles. GLWTA”

    “Driver & passenger sound like two kids in a candy store – can’t blame them.
    Awesome ride to take to a track on weekends & I’d do school drop off during the week.”

    “@68Vet
    Baja California and back to Sacramento in a slant six Dart? That is an absolute adventure and proof positive that these cars were built for exactly that kind of journey. No drama, no breakdowns, just mile after mile of honest reliable transportation through some pretty unforgiving terrain. That slant six was one of the toughest engines ever bolted into an American car and your story is a perfect reminder of that.
    Thank you for sharing that memory and for the kind words. That is…”

    “I was a dispatcher at Greyhound in the 80s just after the last Buffalos were retired. One thing you used to see in ads for used buses was “Never a Greyhound,” meant to say it was never thrashed in daily Dog service and probably wouldn’t have chicken bones shoved into all the heater outlets. Looks like a nice bus.

    “I have been fooling around with cars, one way or another, for over sixty years, and I can’t think of any individual automobile that has enjoyed such star quality for such a long time. Look up the rhapsodic writeup on the 300SL Gullwing in “Sports & Classic Cars”, (Borgeson/Jaderquist), published in 1955! Even then, these cars had qualities that set them apart from all others. Their looks, their performance, their racing history, and the people associated with them…everything adds to the…”

    “Fun memory. I purchased a very clean, low milage `64 Galaxie 500XL
    R-Code 427 4 speed when I returned from Vietnam in `67.
    Paid $1700, 59 years ago, when these were just very nice “Used Cars”.
    Now, these survivors are the best of the full size “Muscle Cars” extant.”

    “The 430 HP was NOT underated as often quoted ….This was virtually a race track engine with a wild solid lifter camshaft and open chamber heads with 12:1 compression ratio….all geared for high end horsepower …
    Yes, the engine produced 430 HP at 5200 RPM’s but Chevy failed to mention it produced
    Over 550 HP at 6200 RPM’s
    The “low” HP published at a time when insurance companies were taking a close look at high performance cars”

    “Oil control system- As 928 engines evolved from 16V to 32V,and from 4.5 to 5.4 liters, two issues cropped up. First, the oil drainback channels through the block did not change in size, and second, between the high output of the oil pump and the sheer volume of the 32V heads, sustained high rpm could lead to the heads accumulating excess oil-up to 2.5 quarts per side, more than half the total engine oil fill. This A) limited the amount of oil near the pickup, and B) interfered with…”

    “Formula for years, worked in secrecy with Mercury and designed the 500 Super Sport Crossover expressly for the new 600-hp Mercury Verado V12.
    It was the first boat fitted with these innovative V-12 motors that had a fixed powerhead and a rotating lower unit.
    I saw the original factory black hulled SSC at Soverel Harbor in Palm Beach Gardens when it first hit the water,
    Spent some time talking with the crew, admiring the boat and the serious Mercury motors the likes of which I’d never seen…”

    “I love this car – the color is one of my top choices – and that interior … so cool and unique – I have a ’74 GTS and as others here have said the driving experience is special – so low to the ground with the motor humming on your shoulder – hypnotic – GLWTA”

    “There are two of us in the USA (that we know of) that have Turkis Coupes, me being one of them. No matter where I drive, I get thumbs up and comments about what an amazing color this is and how well it compliments the smooth curvy lines of an E9. This example looks nearly perfect, and the seller is THE source of E9 expertise. You can buy this car with the utmost of confidence, and join Club Turkis! You won’t be disappointed! GLWTA!”

    “What a fantastic driving video!
    Maserati’s 200S and Si were giant killers in their day with only the bigger engined Ferrari 860 Monza/290MM, 315 and 335 Sports able to keep up. The Maserati 300S and 450S were faster but never had the breaking or handling of the 200S and Si models.
    This is by far one of the best and the spares package alone worth the currently humble bid!
    Cheers,
    Bill”

    “These are probably the most entertaining vintage Honda motorcycle that you will ever ride! FYI I sold my 89 bike here on BAT a few years ago and it was a riot to ride and wind up to 19k rpms repeatedly. I did upgrade the carbs to larger main jets to compensate for the E10 gasoline in CA. I have had two of these bikes and got both titled in CA. The are over 25 years old so are exempt from other restrictions. If the VA title is correctly done, you should be able to just take in to DMV for a new…”

    “Nicely done. As a relatively new GTV owner,
    I can’t say enough about these little gems.
    They just find the road intuitively. Seriously, everyone that loves to drive should have one in their stable. I look forward to taking my little jaunt everyday. Grab the keys tell my wife and dog see you in 1/2 hour and get on my little circuit. Same route, faster and smoother each day until I drive it perfectly.
    I now volunteer trips to the grocery store and dry cleaners! Get more smiles per miles than…”
