The time for Oktmotorfest has passed, but our friends at DriverSource are back with their annual fall collection. This year, they’re calling it the Autumbahn Revival Collection, and it features a group of 10 German vehicles spanning seven decades of production.
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“It was slow at the Grounds for Divorce this morning—the kind of slow where it had been at least twelve hours since Mayor Goodman said something stupid, leaving the regulars to endure a conversational drought.
Talk drifted to Christmas.
“I only want three things this year,” Chad from the Piggly Wiggly announced. “A million dollars in cash, the souls of everyone who won’t return their shopping carts to the corral, and a kitten.”
A noble list, if a little heavy on…”

WINNER’S ANNOUNCEMENT:
We’re back to announce the winner for our Question of the Week, where our victor will accept a $25 credit for a hat or T-shirt from the BaT Gear Store and the acclaim of their peers.
Our question this week was: If you could resurrect one model as a 2025 car, what would it be?
Many of you staked your claims on a wide variety of cars, ranging from sensible-yet-fun commuters to dependable mini trucks (remember when trucks weren’t huge?). In the end, there can only be one winner, and we’re giving the prize to the most popular nomination (the People’s Choice!), which was the Saab 900. BaT member @AsherSPG, obviously a Saab devotee judging by the username, was the first to it:
“The Saab 900! Pack the kids and all your stuff in a comfortable, fun to drive package with STYLE!”

“@ix_xi
As a TCR car homologated by the FIA for championships around the world, “it’s mandatory to use Racing Certified TCR fuel with at least 98RON Unleaded.”
So safe to say you will be fine if you use 98 octane unleaded fuel which is generally available at the track or from any respected vendor.”

“You should definitely join us next year @PDXBryan and so should lucky new winner of this wagon. The Boston Cup event will give you the perfect chance to enjoy the city and travel that week and enjoy the change in seasons nicely.
A friend in Toronto bought this car’s twin for his daughter to use while in college in BC. She made several trips regularly each year back and forth before giving it back to him and moving to the UK for work. The car had just over 100K kilometers when I visited…”

“Very sharp and very clean Calypso Green/grey cloth notch. And the cherry on top among the tasteful, period correct mods is the GT-40 intake. This Fox is going to sell itself!”

Let’s give thanks for just a few of life’s riches: family highballs, Porsche 914s, a holiday trip to Arizona, teaching folks how to drive stick, 996 hard tops, go-karts and minibikes, tiny airplanes, Diane’s car, Bill Paxton, the BaT Hot Rod jacket, passing the 10k-motorcycle mark, pre-selector shifters, the analog odometer; and much more.
A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“As a Norwegian, I am baffled by this car being used to ferry kids in the don’t stick out-culture of Sweden rather than any person knowing how to change gears. That’s the most American perspective ever, haha. Imagine this in a sea of ever similar Volvos and the occasional SAAB 9-5 wagon…the V12 sound must have had a hypnotizing effect on the crowd, who went straight home to judge the owner in all ways imaginable…”

“Beautiful B12 5.7. FYI – this car came with the CSi front spoiler when new from ALPINA. I have the information on all B12 5.7 E31 Coupes and which front spoiler they were delivered with. One could either spec the ALPINA lip or CSi front spoiler when specing the car when new. This car also started life as a CSi. Contrary to common thought, not all B12 5.7s started life as a CSi, but that is for a different discussion at a different time. Beautiful color – Ferrari Red.
Good luck with…”

“Yes, this is John Schneider’s Dino.
In April 1997, he spoke about it in a Motor Trend interview:
The first Ferrari I got was a ’74 246 GTS Dino. Loved it. Should never have sold that car. It was just a screaming car. I don’t think anybody else could possibly get that much spit out of six cylinders. We had kind of a “cannonball run” going on one night on the way to Texas. I was going to do “Eddie Macon’s Run.” I had my Dino, an Aston Martin Volante, and, also every kid’s dream, a…”
