    “A round of applause for the Mangusta owners who shared their knowledge here.
    One of the best features of BaT.”

    “John Oates was a very capable racer, campaigning a Tiga in SCCA S2000 among other cars.
    During the Pontiac Fiero sponsored Big-Bam-Boom Tour, John tested a NASCAR Modified at Stafford Speedway, and Pontiac teamed him with Clay Young in the Dole Fiero for a couple of IMSA GTU races.
    There was a crash at Brainerd or Road America (I forget which)… but not due to driver error. When Clay handed off the car to John he said something was rattling around in the transmission. Eventually the trans…”

    “An incredible presentation here, under the radar in its day and virtually indestructible —
    Make no mistake this is quite a find with the M130 straight-six one of my favorite engines. In this smaller W114 there’s plenty of power considering these were also utilized in the larger W108 series.
    Notable recent service items ‘23 – ‘24 including:
    – shifter linkage and kick down arm bushing, and solenoid
    – front subframe mounts, engine mounts, and tie rods
    – alternator belts, accelerator…”

    “Rode my BMX Mongoose to the local 7-Eleven who had this in the store. A Cherry and Coke mix Slurpee, a few runs on Pole Position and some Big Leage Chew for the rest of the afternoon. Life was good.”

    “I’m presently fortunate to own a 72 365 GTC4 myself.. I can tell you that there are not many 50+ year-old vehicles that can cruise the highways at 100+ miles per hour, while prancing gracefully with cold air conditioning and as smooth as a modern day car ….This vehicle is truly bliss! and way undervalued.”

    “This car is one of the best. I owned it almost 10 years. It really is one of the best. Owner maintains it imperceptible.”

    “I have an old family friend (89 years young) that I showed these pictures to that has been a wood carver all his life and has made some exquisite pieces of animals, custom stair cases, door frames and such using a chain saw and wood chisels and a lot of sanding. He was really impressed and spent a half hour flicking between the photos and commenting on the details presented here with the biggest smile. On our second pour of Blanton’s I joking asked him if he could do something like this and…”

    “My Dad was always a “Buy American” guy, until his experiences with malaise-era GM and Chrysler K-cars finally convinced him to give Toyota a try. He bought an ’87 Camry — same generation as this one. It opened his eyes so wide that he bought another one in ’89, then one after the other in ’96, ’02, ’08, ’12 and ’14, When he passed, we took the ’12 and ’14 and traded it in for a ’19 for my Mom to drive. But it all started with this generation of Camry.”

    “We are so incredible grateful for the BaT community. Thank you to the members who have donated personally to help us serve foster youth! I can confirm every penny goes directly to the kids. Thank you to the Pitale family as well for their generosity and support.

    “This 1960 Riva Tritone has been beautifully refurbished and is in full working order, ready to enjoy on Lago di Garda, Lago di Como, Rapallo or perhaps the Great Lakes in the United States. Everything functions as it should and the boat presents in excellent condition throughout.
    A Riva Tritone is a rare combination of timeless design, Italian craftsmanship and sheer presence on the water. From the sparkling waters of Lake Tahoe to the elegant harbors of Sag Harbor, and from Lago di Iseo/…”

    “Even though I have a museum

    “A tip for the seller or new owner: When I replaced the door seals on my E34 M5 I used the seals from an E39. At the time E34 door seals were NLA and the E39 ones were readily available. I had to shorten them a few inches, but otherwise they are a perfect fit.”

    “The 550 was, by and large, the end of the gated manual era at Ferrari and was the final model offered exclusively with a 6-speed transmission. Gearbox technology was advancing quickly as Scuderia Ferrari dominated F1, so when the updated 575M was introduced in 2002, nearly all of them came equipped with the F1 transmission. Only 246 575Ms were optioned with the manual gearbox, and its successor, the 599, saw just 30 manuals produced.
    The 550 is sleek, slippery, and sexy—a grand touring…”

    “Woah! Serendipitous… just saw my first Sonett on the road two weeks ago, after a two + decade hiatus from my own eyes. Sure, I’ve seen them at car shows, but in motion? Running errands? Not in forever… such a cool cat rolling down the road. Makes me wish that all cars were of this scale, instead of bloated monstrosities.”

    notforhire commented on 1972 Saab Sonett III

    “Had this exact car, one of my favorite cars of all time. Nothing like a big sedan that runs like a hot rod. And these cars do. Not sure how they gear them or what is done to them. But this car is an amazing performance vehicle. I have a s65 now. But I actually liked the 63 more. Especially for just driving pleasure”
