    “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”

    “This 599 is an earlier production as in the later production for 2007 the ceramic brakes became standard. Also, Ferrari jacked up the base price from $258k to $321k base price. Significantly increased the cost. These cars are appreciating fast. F-1 transmission is a very nice transmission in my opinion even though general public prefers the clutch version. Good luck.”

    “A layman’s view.
    In 1987, at the age of 27, I quit my job and travelled to Europe for my 1st time for a 6-month adventure. After skiing a few areas in the Alps, I made my way north, as far as Bergen, Norway. Summer had arrived, and I wanted to have some beach fun.
    The section on France in the Frommer’s Guide had many pages on the Mediterranean Coast, but few on the Atlantic.
    I decided on a road less travelled, the Atlantic. To my pleasant surprise, I discovered a magnificent area…”

    “IMO, the ‘stacked headlight’ GTO versions are the definitive GTO.
    Very cool car. Unique color, mostly see red, black or blue.
    Would love this.”

    “Yes for those who don’t know Vic Skimants was a leading competitor in the SCCA E production class for many years. The knowledge gained on the track was applied to his builds which for those who have them understand well.”

    “@KD303
    Thanks for chiming in. When a stand-out car like this one is sold, then disappears into a collection, or resold several times the “Freude Am Fahren” or in other words, the magic it possesses cannot be spread to another enthusiast –or more importantly — to the next generation who will (hopefully) and enthusiastically carry on. These are things that keep me awake at night.
    Given the low mileage — hardly more than break-in miles — covered over the past nine years, I was…”

    “I’m a Poncho guy and have owned many over the past decade. I presently have three, in my collection. 1960 was an oddity for the Pontiac division, it was in between the split grill of 59 and 61. It was also the first year of the eight lug wheels. That said, I remember my Dad and his buddies coming home from a fishing trip in a 1960 Bonneville coupe. The trunk was full of fish and ice. Look at the size of the trunk, you could only imagine, how many fish there were. Thanks for the memories and…”

    “Funny story – I was trying to find a correct new radiator cap for the TR4. I had gotten one from a British parts supplier, but it didn’t fit correctly. I grabbed my identical radiator from my project TR4 and went to the local parts stores to see what they had. Total strikeout. I went to Panda Express with TR4 radiator caps on my mind and got this fortune cookie. I immediately sent a picture of it to my wife saying “Looks like I’m getting another car!”.”

    “Anyone buying an RX7 that’s been sitting for a long time should assume it needs apex seals unless proven otherwise. The dash and radio are lit up in some pics, so the car has electrical power. I’m guessing lack of power is the result of a few horses escaping the engine bay.
    This FD is quite tempting. I have a few solutions for lack of power sitting in the corner of the shop ;)”

    “I own a higher mileage AZ-1 just like this. It is awesome. Obviously the new owner will likely keep this stock, but upgrading the suspension to the Navic coilovers and adding a stiffer roll bar front and back dramatically changed the handling. It went from leaning SUV in the corners to go-kart. Just my 2 cents.”

    “These are great cars. Very nimble. Really high build quality. 2.8 is silky smooth. I bought a 99, new and still have it. I can’t bear to part with it. There are things I like about it better than all the other Audis that I have.”

    “An AMC Hornet on a rotisserie…now that’s something you don’t often see. I like it. The dedication taken to not only restore, but improve upon this perpetual underdog is quite admirable. Bravo! Outstanding results. This noteworthy malaise should get nothing but praise.

    “Could be a straightforward project for Marcos lovers who want to experience ownership. Perhaps a marque expert could chime in on whether the steel frame is of similar configuration to the original plywood ones and where the potential trouble spots might be before asking for more info from the seller. Lewes is a beach town if it originated there then factor in corrosion potential, and one of the road wheels shows signs of same. B18’s are usually bulletproof and agriculturally simple. Send the…”
