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

    “Jimmy Don Ventura had owned enough unusual automobiles over the years to believe he understood the public. He’d driven a lime-green AMC Gremlin, a Triumph Spitfire that leaked oil with the determination of an East Texas mosquito, and a Plymouth Barracuda that had once stranded him in front of the Dairy Twin during the lunch rush. Every one of them had attracted comments, questions, and unsolicited mechanical advice from complete strangers.
    Then he bought Fred.
    Officially, it was a 1949…”

    “If you told me 10 years ago that GM’s only manual performance car would be a Cadillac sedan, I’d have told you you’re crazy.”

    “Ah, the memories! This was my first-ever brand new car, purchased in Petersburg, Virginia when this fresh Army Quartermaster second lieutenant received a small fortune (It seemed so at the time) from the Army in TDY pay and turned it into Kenosha metal. Mine had the 343 not the 390, but was exactly this color, same transmission, and the brown leather which was original to this car, too. The car accompanied me to my first–and only–duty station in West Germany because officers’ car-shipping was…”

    “I had an opportunity to buy a friends 51 Mercury sled, I always wanted from his wife. Gary died in March 2026 from prostate cancer, he was 77, I’m 75. I just don’t have indoor storage for both so the Caddy has to go. I enjoyed it for a year so somebody can have fun with the top down!”

    “This is my car. I have had every generation of 911, air cooled and water cooled, turbo and NA, all of which are in various states of “hot rod”. Even my CGT has some mods. I bought this car to hot rod as well, but it was so mint that I couldn’t do it, it is truly flawless inside and out. However, my OCD got the best of me and I invested whatever was needed to make the car perfect and decided to let it go as an offering to the BAT community. @hoarsche enjoy!”

    “Who’s ready for a Story?
    This Car is coming back to Maryland. My father-in-law was the Owner that bought the car in MD. A family member sold the car after his passing without us knowing. I have been searching for a white on cinnamon e46M3 for the better part of the last decade…. When this popped up I got excited. When I saw it was originally from MD, I thought there was a chance. When I saw his name on the paperwork in the old listing I LOST MY MIND… I am so excited to get his car back for…”

    “It really does belong in a museum. We have over 1,000 visitors on saturdays and 10,000+ monthly. Lots of old geezers like me that were around body work.”

    “Gorgeous car that is well known by the car people on the local show circuit. To those pondering adding a new Mustang bid with confidence. This is a top notch professional build with ties to a highly regarded local performance shop. Owner is a very nice guy too. I’ll miss seeing it at the local big events. Good luck Mr. H”

    Shyanne commented on 1985 Toyota Pickup XtraCab SR5 4×4 5-Speed

    “@volvoracer9 – That is an excellent question. The guy who created this went to great lengths to make it accurate. As far as I have found, everything is correct except the brakes/wheels/hubs. A true MC850 will have 4 bolt wheels and hubs with a different front brake caliper. I put on adjustable Spax shocks but the original Koni shocks come with it. Engine and head are correct for MC850 as is the entire interior including the rear seat which is basically cushions on top of a storage bin. Club…”

    Hercule_LaJoy commented on No Reserve: Atari Pole Position Arcade Game

    “I have the sister car, an Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1 which has identical interior and underpinnings. In addition to the rarity and handbuilt Zagato heritage, these cars are amazing drivers. They’re quick and super comfortable for road trips. My daughter and her husband did a 2200 mile round trip with our car in a weekend to the Amelia Island Concours last year where the car won a class award. To make things even better for this car, it comes out of one the country’s great collections. I…”

    “Around the time this was new, I was working on a Spielberg film in Northern California. Part of his deal was to have a Pole Position arcade game provided in a dedicated office at the studio – it was just down the hall from my editing room. I figured out his schedule – while it was around, I came in early before him – and got very good at the free play!”

    “I have this near identical car. Patina’d sahara, warmed over M10, goldish wheels, mint interior, same rust spots, and even the same roof rack. Out of my small fleet, this one gives me more smiles per gallon than the rest.
    Having an engine done by Korman is a real nice bonus. Ray has a great shop and is a top tier engine and restoration shop. Hopefully the next new owner can show it off at At The Vintage event in Maggie Valley this weekend.”
