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

    “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.”

    “Proud to bring this iconic car to BaT. I purchased it directly from Ken Block around the time he transitioned from Ford to Audi, and during my ownership it’s been carefully maintained and preserved to the same standard as when it left Ken’s hands.
    This isn’t just a build or a replica of an era — this Hoonigan Escort Mk2 Gymkhana car holds a special place in Ken Block and Hoonigan history. It’s the car he owned the longest, and to me it represents the raw, analog side of what made…”

    “I’m 60 now and cannt remember any to events when I was 5 in 1970 but this day I will always remember. , My dad was looking for a slightly used car for the family and I clearly recall the day we went to Beach Brothers Chrysler Dodge Plymouth in Salem, Va to look at a 1969 Coronet 2dr and there I stood staring at the two Superbirds parked beside each in a back row. My dad said they looked ridiculous, I thought they were the coolest cars I’d ever seen. I have loved them ever since. He bought…”

    “I know next to nothing about boats. I have no interest in buying a boat. Yet here I am, reading the full description of a boat, looking at the pictures, and studying every single comment. I’m certain I’m not the only one.”

    “As R&T said in their 1962 road test, “those who select one, get one of the finest.””

    WERA22 commented on No Reserve: 2022 Honda Odyssey Elite by Stay Tuned

    “Great spot on the 2022 gearbox oil typo.
    Our technicians during that time and during 2023 and 2021 records are all former trained factory Lamborghini guys. You can look them up!
    As you can see both Motul and Lucas gear oil was used in 2021 and 2023, so I am very confident this is a “ShopWare” typo.
    Our software system in the shop was very clunky until recently.
    The former owner was very fussy, this is one of the best 1996-1997 Diablo Roadster examples we have seen. The car was…”

    “Nothing beats the simplicity of an old truck. No screens, no tech just three pedals and a steering wheel. GLWTA!”

    “And now the end is near. I truly enjoyed this car and would love to see it go to a new owner and a loving home. I have had great memories of building the car and driving the car. I truly know that the next owner will be thrilled while driving the car next.”

    D_Reed commented on Fuel-Injected, 400-Powered 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

    “One of the things I really like about this is that, at its heart, it’s just so simple. Not like the Italian limited production barchetta cars where everything is unobtainable or very expensive. A T Series MG set up is the personification of of basic spark, fuel, air motoring. Like the upkeep on TD. That should bring it more into the range of folks who lust after the style but have been afraid of the reality of finding mechanical spares. Opportunity rarely knocks as loud as this one, IMHO!”

    “I kind of feel like the 997.2 Turbo S is a hidden menu item. So many people talk about 997.1 Turbos and 991.1 Turbos, but this remains akin to a secret for enthusiasts.
    It has the smaller, more nimble feel of the 997 chassis coupled with the ferocity and traction of the PDK and AWD, and although these aren’t the Mezger engines they are stout.
    This generation remains somewhat of a ‘if you know you know’ type of Porsche, and there is SO MUCH to absolutely love about it. GLWTA!”

    “I have driven my black over red for 15 years, many times during Pebble car week and not once has anybody figured out it was an Ostermeir. The fuel door is perfectly contoured to the car,sits. Eli’s the belt line and it’s so small it’s barely noticeable. Very small deviation for an otherwise perfect recreation.
    Note the air conditioning. Looks like what genuine aftermarket real 300SL would have installed because the car is so hot inside. If you watch enough 300 SL driving videos you will…”

    “John Weinberger had one of these in white at Continental Imports in La Grange, IL back in 1970. My dad was considering buying it, but I think at 5’-11” he couldn’t get comfortable in it. He ended up buying the fly yellow De Tomaso Mangusta John had, instead. That’s the car in which he picked me up at Orange County Airport when I was discharged from the Army in 1971. Sure wish he’d kept that car, or either of the two E-Types he owned (one of which he’d bought from Mr. Weinberger).”

    “This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

    “It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

    “Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.
