    “Gotta love ❤️ 84.9 CENT/gal gas on 10 JAN 1994. Seriously, this 2nd Gen (1992) Honda Wagon is virtually identical to the one our family drove from that year to 2009 with zero issues. It was the reason I got another white 1993, virtually identical to this one, on BaT recently to relive the best car ever. It actually has a little “Grannymobile” sticker on the rear window. GLWTA!”

  • What to Know About question of the Week: What’s Your Favorite Qualifying Moment?—WINNER’S UPDATE

    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.

    This week, we asked: What’s your favorite qualifying moment?

    Thanks to everyone who participated! Two nominations were deadlocked for pole position this week: Michael Schumacher’s 2006 infamous “parking” job at Monaco and Aryton Senna’s qualifying lap at the 1988 Monaco Grand Prix. So we turned to the thumbs to determine our winner, and with a cumulative 11 likes, this week’s winning nomination is Senna’s Monaco GP qualifying run! BaT member @Newport_Pagnell was the first to it, but seeing as he’s recently won QotW, we’re awarding the prize to the next in line—@BloodyHell:

    “As @Newport_Pagnell already correctly answered…
    Senna
    1988
    Monaco
    Inarguably the greatest driver in F1 history doing what only he could do..”

    What to Know About sludgo’s Mile Markers: Mile 218

    I was running behind. Way behind. Again. Always, or so it seemed back then. Had jammed as much as I could into my day thinking foolishly the meetings and sessions I’d scheduled would all go as planned, like clockwork. But of course they hadn’t because they never did. This person or that person would need a few extra moments of my time or my lecture would run long because there were lots of questions or the computer was glitching or the overhead projector wasn’t working. And on that particular day I was hauling tail though town in the A6 trying not to be too late for my meet and greet with the new District Judge at the courthouse when I tried to beat a yellow at an intersection and some old coot in a big green Sedan DeVille made a left right in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and the ABS did its job, stopping me only inches short of the Cadillac. I leaned on the horn, my rage-filled eyes hidden behind my Ray-Bans, and saw the balding, snowy-bearded Caddy Captain looking back at me and shrugging his shoulders and that’s when it happened. I gave him the finger.

  • Here’s yesterday’s comments of note

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

    “In many respects the Z432 is like the 911 Carrera RS 2.7.
    Very rare, look nearly identical to their garden variety siblings and the high desirability is based all around the engine.
    Having a production car in 1972 with a redline of 7500-rpm was insane and the technology that went into that cylinder head was something the Europeans were not even doing until the next decade.
    To some degree Nissan did themselves in, as the L-series grew to a 2.8L, a modified L28 could easily outgun a 432.…”

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

    “Why did the manufacturers stop painting cars like this everything is white silver or some gray color and black. I like the nostalgia this color brings back GLWTA”

    2002WS6 commented on 1993 Honda Civic Del Sol Si 5-Speed

    “This is Gene Winfield and VooDoo Larry quality imo. I like how there is just enough chrome trim left on the beltline, rear valance, and bumpers. With it being nosed, decked, shaved door handles, and the sectioned trunk lid. That and the frenching of the headlights and taillights. Leaves just the right amount of chrome.
    The interior is super clean, the center console around the shifter, and the shifter itself reminds me of a mid 70s Camaro or Firebird.
    In pic 27 in the Engine bay, you can…”

    MikeFiftyNine commented on 283-Powered 1949 Chevrolet Styleline Custom Coupe by Ross Suderno

    “I was 7 years old when this body style came out in 81. Was begging my dad at the time to trade in his 80 Cutlass Supreme for the newer body style cause this looked so aerodynamic. 45 years later and this body style still looks very attractive to me. Curious to see what this beauty goes for.”

    sludgo Rides Shotgun with trusted_one You Should Know

    A dignified gentleman with a genial smile, twinkling eyes, and a snowy-white thatch of hair, @trusted_one began our ride by pointing out that he was wearing his car show shirt, expressing how funny it was to discover when he pulled it out of the closet after all these years that it had shrunk so much! I laughed at the joke as he humbly confided he was suffering from “imposter syndrome,” finding himself the subject of the latest Riding Shotgun series. Told me he couln’t hold a flame to most of the guys on the site. But I wasn’t concerned that I had an imposter on my hands. Not one bit. Knew right off the bat I had the Real Deal.

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

    “Anecdotally, I was told by the head of Porsche Museum (at the time) Dieter Labdsburger, that they took the Abarth to the wind tunnel and a standard 356, and found out that the Abarth, that they paid a lot of money for for further development in aerodynamics, was less aerodynamic than the stock version! I think this example is simply beautiful, tastefully done, and without the aerodynamic drag of the car it was trying to emulate…. but retaining the lovely engine lid. I will be watching….…”

    racetobid commented on Modified 1960 Porsche 356B Sunroof Coupe

    “When I was a new pilot in a Navy Fighter Squadron, one of my favorite “older” Squadron mates used to have get togethers at his house. He had a bar in his kitchen /living room and at the end was his lucky ejection seat that he had used when he was an F-8 pilot. He had the seat built in and only HE was allowed to ever sit in that “lucky” seat! Good memories.”

    Sequoia commented on No Reserve: ACES II Ejection Seat

    “I’ve owned two of these. My first was a brand new fawn beige 283 4bbl that I drove 60,000 miles in three years. I had the dealer add GM seat belts. It was completely trouble free. Mine originally came with the spare tire tucked under the top well. About a year into it Chevrolet had a recall to move it to the right rear quarter panel are as this car shows. People were cutting the rear window and stealing the spare tires. I still have the original window sticker. A beautiful car.”

    “Drove my 1966 912 to CA to visit my folks from Fort Hood after returning from Vietnam. I was McQueen’s photo-double and stand-in during the filming of The Sand Pebbles when I received my ‘Greetings’ letter from the draft board. Steve and Neile invited us to ‘the Castle’ for dinner. My 912 began some serious noise and I took it to a Porsche shop Steve recommended. Something was wrong with the factory half axle or axles and, they required replacement/upgrading. I for get now (80…”

    “I love the 124, having owned many wagons and coupes and currently a Cab, these really are from a time when M-B was the best in the world. But this one, an AMG wide-body, just wow. I thought the E500 6.0 sold last year was the peak, but I sit corrected, has to be this one. Stunning in every way, GLWTA!”

    “This is the perfect example of a GT to be bought and driven. It is completely sorted and ready to drive without concern for “never driven garage queen”
    Buy this, drive it, and love it!
    They are such a blast to drive”

    “As a young couple we had a 1964 122sw from Massachusetts was which perfect given my tip income as a student & bartender. We ran it until the 225,000 mile mark and sold it for more than we paid for it. This restoration corrects for all of my Volvos obsolescence or weaknesses; larger engine; better fuel delivery; rust remediation, nice interior and respectable paint job. This one is a keeper! Thanks for posting.”
