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

    “It wasn’t every day something this cute rolled into Fort Stockton. Folks were used to pickup trucks big enough to block out the sun, not pastel-colored cars that looked like they’d been dipped in lemon pudding and whipped cream. But there it was—parked right out front of Grounds for Divorce, turning heads like a visiting movie star.
    A 1956 Nash Metropolitan. Yellow over white. Chrome trim shining like a smile that’s been to the dentist.
    Lucinda leaned against the café window,…”

    “I remember that turbo kit from HO Racing Specialties out of California. I bought my 78 TA new (still have it) and once the 1 year warranty was up, i installed the HO performance kit with new jets and metering rods for the Q-Jet.”

    “These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

    “My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”

    “I owned SN 5077 many years ago. The 4-liter engine pulls like a locomotive. There is comfortable seating for 4 adults. I think it is the best of the 2+2 classic Ferraris. You will never regret owning it. – Keith Martin”

    “I sent this listing to a very good friend of mine, a VN Minesweeper Sailor who seerved on the same class ships as your Dad rode on missions, and who is a decades long Porsche collector. He will be very interested in the provenance of your Dad’s ’65 SC Coupe.”

    “Dang. Kelly Super Charger tires. Haven’t seen those since cable TV and the Sony Walkman were considered cutting-edge technology.
    No need to ask for date codes…they’d be in hieroglyphics or maybe Roman numerals.”

    “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.

    “They say Fort Stockton remembers things the way a screen door remembers wind. Not perfectly, not completely, but enough to make you swear something passed through.
    The story of the Lincoln started that way.
    It was the summer of 1937 when the couple arrived at the Cattle Baron Hotel, slipping into town like they had taken a wrong turn somewhere east of Dallas and decided not to correct it. The car came first, of course. Folks always remember the car before they remember the people.

    CaptainMyCaptain commented on Jim Farley’s 1937 Lincoln Model K Coupe by LeBaron

    “My first awesome car! Bought slightly used in 1993, it was the dark grey color, almost black, and I put a 1″ drop on it with 16″ Momo 5 spoke wheels. Had a killer sound system in it and absolutely loved that car. Had it stolen in Seattle and recovered a few weeks later pretty much stripped out. Just didn’t feel the same anymore so sold it for what I could and moved on to a Toyota truck. Have owned damn near every Honda since then — Odyssey, Ridgeline, Accord and 2 generations of Civic…”

    “wow, I used to service this car . worked for Ghent Motor Co. in 64 and 65. I wonder which salesman they bought it from, Bill Powers or Tex Perkins. Salesmen got 50$ a car back then.”
