    “I’m so excited! I lost a 1998 c43 sedan in a fire 5 years ago and have told myself to wait for the wagon and I finally have one! Plus it’s my birthday next week!”

    “This is an absolutely stunning car. We had this one at Macchinissima III and it was a favorite. I had the pleasure to drive it a little bit. It is very approachable but the Ford engine does scream with all the best noises. Condition is on another level of this one.”

    “My grandfather bought one of these new back in the day and got a surprise when he picked it up after its first scheduled service at the dealership. The service writer put “Aspen” on the repair order, so my grandfather asked him to correct it. Confused, the service guy walked over to his car and pointed at the “Aspen” badge on the side of the car. They walked around to the drivers side and were greeted by a “Volare” badge! I assume the workers on the assembly line just grabbed the…”

    “My Dad and I were at our local Ford dealer buying yet another LTD for family use back in the day. Our sales guy was working on my Dad’s most recent offer (a little game they played). A car carrier truck pulled up front at the dealership and our salesman got all crazy. He said his new ’71 Mach 1 was on the truck and would we mind if he took a minute to get it on the ground. Dad said sure and we all went out to see a very red Mach 1. They got it off the truck and the new owner was just giddy with…”

    “Quick comment here! See the white sticker on the bottom corner of the windshield on driver’s side? This is the genuine RCA sticker for parking lot, when Pat Ieraci owned this Volvo since it was new. Pat Ieraci was the influence with RCA to sign Jefferson Airplane. I emailed with (the late) Ieraci’s daughter. She remembered the Volvo with fondness and said her father dearly loved the car. We owned the Volvo and sold it to the present owner. My husband is a life-long master mechanic and…”

    “Thanks everyone I’m so happy. This has been my dream car since I first saw one on the Dallas North Tollway back in 1994. I’ve spent decades trying to find the right one. Thanks everyone for bidding and the great sportsmanship. This is a wonderful community!”

    “Never, until today, has El Camino and Continental kit ever been used in the same sentence, for me anyway.
    Now, I will never be able to unsee it.”

    “Such a beautiful car. Growing up my dad had one of these in a red/orange color. Have so many great memories driving around with him in it. I hope this goes to a great home”

    “I bought this car intending to enjoy driving it, and I did. I’ve owned this Viper since April 2000 and have kept it longer than any other car I’ve owned. It has spent its life just south of Houston. I’ve enjoyed it enormously over the past 26 years, including four driving schools and 5-6 autocross events. I’m selling it because I’m almost 70 and the Viper has become harder for me to get in and out of and to drive without pain (2 surgeries on the ball of my left foot). I hope its next owner…”

    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…”

    “When I first saw this auction I wanted to Jump! I expected there to be an Eruption of bids due to provenance. Driving at 10/10th would be like Runin’ With the Devil for sure. This car is the stuff Dreams are made of. If I won, I would definitely Dance The Night Away. OK I am done…”

    “I grew up in a family of chevy owners, just chevy’s, and I had my big block in high school. Then the new girl friend asks me over to meet her family and what does the Dad have, an Opel Manta in orange. He takes me out to inspect it and at some point hands me the key and says, have fun. Well, I did and from that point forward my world changed. Tried to talk my dad into letting me buy an MGB, that didn’t work until I bought my own in college and started auto X’ing with it. Then road racing…”
