“You should definitely join us next year @PDXBryan and so should lucky new winner of this wagon. The Boston Cup event will give you the perfect chance to enjoy the city and travel that week and enjoy the change in seasons nicely.
A friend in Toronto bought this car’s twin for his daughter to use while in college in BC. She made several trips regularly each year back and forth before giving it back to him and moving to the UK for work. The car had just over 100K kilometers when I visited…”

“A 500 horsepower Diesel EVO 2. I’m so glad people exist in this world with such creativity and skill to come up with this idea and execute it. I am surely not one of them. Amazing.”

“My Dad was a district service manager for GM in the 90s and early 2000’s and as a part of that we would get a new demo car to drive every couple mos. After the dismal launch of the Aztec in 2000, GM wanted to get make the best out of a bad situation so they gave them to every service manager in the country to “get the word out”.
When I turned 16 and got my license, we got the Aztek. Bright yellow if I recall correctly, and rather than the usual 3 mos cycle, we had it for a full 7 mos.…”

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

“This is a sweet ’69 El Camino L78… no vinyl top! Could have been used to drag race or simply used to pull a boat down to the river. With the pin-striping that was removed, my guess, it was sparingly used to launch a Sanger flat-bottom boat with a built 427.
😉”

“I had the absolute pleasure of being parked next to this vehicle at the BaT concours d’elegance in Elkhart Lake on Saturday evening, and I must say: this car somehow looks even better in person. I am in and out of a ton of aircooled Porsches in a professional capacity, and this may be the nicest 911SC I’ve ever seen. It’s obvious after talking to the seller that they took their time to refurbish the car the correct way – with the love and care this fine example deserves.
Somebody is going to…”

Edelweiss_Autowerks commented on 43-Years-Family-Owned 1979 Porsche 911SC Coupe

“There were two icons of the late 1980s for me: the Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk2 16V and the Lancia Delta Integrale 16V.
If you grew up like I did in the 1980s there’s a good chance you were obsessed with one—or both.
The GTI was the benchmark hot hatch, while the Integrale was the rally-bred legend that dominated the world stage. Different personalities, yet both became automotive icons that defined a generation of enthusiasts.
It’s so cool to see a well-sorted GTI 16V again. Seeing one…”

“Very happy to have won this e12. I owned a 1980 528i for 12.5 years until it was crushed by a massive oak tree limb. The e12 is my favorite car in the world.”

“Dad had a Del Ray Skylounger when we were kids. The bunk above the cab could be made into seats. We loved riding up there (no such thing as seat belts, of course).”

“Car will race again”

Serialcollector commented on Ex–Viper Team ORECA 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R

“I was 13, accompanying my dad when he drove his ’76 308 GTB Vetroresina to Los Gatos Ferrari for a service appointment. I wandered into the showroom, saw the F355’s… and right smack dab in the middle of the room was this car. Not this exact same one, but an Azure Blue-over-Magnolia Esprit V8. I had never even heard of Lotus before that moment, but I was mesmerized. I sat in the driver’s seat, smelled the leather, saw the red V8 in back… and suddenly forgot that I was surrounded by yellow…”
