    “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…”

    “@WIZZZZ
    I met Fred at Bonneville in 1963. He had set a 2-way record the previous year at 99.06 mph with his absolutely stock Corvair Monza. I had managed to go 107 mph with my stock 61 Corvair but needed bigger tires. Fred told me that Rambler Station Wagons had 15″ wheels that would fit Corvairs. There was a little junk yard on the outskirts of Wendover, Utah right on the state border with Nevada. I went down there and found a Nash Rambler in there with two 6.40 X 15″ tires (1 was…”

    “Last summer the Eastern PA Chapter of the Audi Club did it’s annual covered bridges drive and ice cream run. A very fun and spirited ~150 mile drive. I show up in my 1989 80 Quattro, my wife drove our 2001 TT 225 Roadster, and a guy I had never seen before at any Audi event shows up in one of these. Jaws dropped. He was super nice, down to earth, and had no problem with any of us getting in and checking it out.”

    “Hurley Haywood was my instructor at the Porsche Driving School in Alabama, actually both times I went — was really a great instructor — five time winner of 24hrs of Daytona — will never forget my laps riding with Hurley driving around that track at 9/10ths.
    

In the downhill corkscrew to get the 996 back end to to come around he caused a bunny hop by repeatedly stabbing at the brake pedal to unsettle the car, I had never seen that technique before or since, counter to what they…”

    “Understated elegance, with a lot of muscle.
    One of GMs cleanest, and most enduring designs. Still looks fresh after all these years.”

    “Yeah this is the one, always loved this color with the SVT performance package. The paint matches the rims perfectly. SVT package, track package, recaros, the right color… 🔥”

    “You may be cool, but you’ll never be as cool as Steve McQueen. He was, after all, the King of Cool.
    That being said, you’d be a lot cooler riding this than you are right now!”

    SteveTheodore commented on Ex–Steve McQueen Scott Flying Squirrel w/Sidecar

    “Well folks, that is a wrap and the end of a 15 year search. I knew about this car from way back when my mechanic serviced my other Lotus cars. I never in a million years thought it would come up on BaT, this should be quite an adventure!!!”

    arbifox commented on 1994 Lotus Esprit Sport 300

    “The first thing I looked at was the first driving video, and that made my morning, seeing the focus with the manual steering. No lackadaisical grip on that wheel.
    Just the right street car for getting the blood pumping, without needing to get crazy to do it. A simple and easily maintainable build, with no exotic or exceptionally expensive components, and easy access to pretty much everything. It seems like a car that can happily sit on a battery tender, with some fuel stabilizer, and be…”

    “Of course, the whole 250,000 Auctions Milestone was all anybody could talk about at the Grounds for Divorce. Lucinda started promoting it the minute the listing went live, offering a Two-Fer on Texas pecan pie and free Folgers to anyone who showed up wearing a Bring a Trailer T-shirt.
    Hank over at the Lucky Lady Lounge had a similar promotion going, but the T-shirt had to be wet and there were considerably fewer takers. Ultimately, Earl from Earl’s Salvage Yard and Formalwear took home the…”

    “OK, I’ve been meaning to write this story for awhile now, and so now is the appropriate time to share that story.
    I remember in the early 2000s when all the trade rags showed the new Mustang. they were beautiful. I would periodically go and test drive them. I remember once driving a GT with a 3.73 rear end and a 5-speed manual and that thing had some git up and go!
    Where I live, they have a car show every MLK weekend. They had one of these Bullitts on display and I wanted one.…”

    “As the owner of a 73 1600 Touring, these are fun and useful with the rear seats folded down lots of cargo space they are a few inches shorter than sedans and have a more aerodynamic windshield angle. At a 02 meet up they are rare.

    NBoost commented on No Reserve: 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe

    “I owned an ‘85 nearly identical to this. I drove it the way Carroll Shelby intended. I quickly installed the Mopar Performance logic module and after getting the timing dialed in and an AutoMeter boost gauge installed, I was even more ready to “Go Like Hell.” So, one Friday evening in the spring, I was laying down rubber in first and second gear at each stop.
    It must have took a while for the officer to catch up from following the squealing Euro T/A’s, as I don’t believe he ever saw…”

    “Automatics are great – First, generally driven less spiritedly over their lifetime. Second, the automatic is actually very good. My auto on back roads, 2nd gear could go from about 25 mph to 70 mph. Often with a group of other 02s, I would be pushing the car in front of me that was modified. Third, the auto works while you find that 5 speed that is wider than a 4 speed and what else is wider? The tunnel in an automatic. No hammer needed for installation.
    My next 02, I will look for an…”
