    “20 or so years ago my wife and I were staying at the Cypress Inn in Carmel. One morning I got up very early, so early that the hotel staff had not begun morning preparations.
    I stumbled down into the lobby and saw an elderly lady walking the other way. I asked her if she knew where I could get a cup of coffee.
    She smiled a 10,000 watt smile and said there was a place around the corner, or if I wanted to wait she’d make me some.
    She wasn’t in a uniform and had no name tag so not quite…”

    “A cassette deck next to an 8-bit onboard computer, wrapped in wood trim. Perfect. I hope the next owner shares my irrational nostalgia for older interiors.”

    Crovet commented on No Reserve: 21-Years-Owned 2000 BMW M5

    “Not an uncommon swap in the late 1980s. I recall reading a Pontiac Magazine from that era where someone restored a ’69 Firebird that had the Chevy motor in it. There were far more parts available for small block Chevys either through catalogs like J.C. Whitney, or in junkyards, which were chock full of them. And, hey, if it ain’t broke…why fix it? If it gets to the point where the 350 needs to be pulled, then you can start thinking about putting a proper Pontiac motor back in. But,…”

    “This was me 33 years ago in my mother’s driveway on Mother’s Day I swung by to show her the car and pet the dogs who happen to be English Springer Spaniels”

    “In the late 60’s early 70’s between the ages of 8-12 my dad would take me to a little known dragstrip in Laplace LA about 25 miles west of NO…He would take me into the pit and there I met Big Daddy Don Garlits…he was in the back of the pits with his front engine rail with just a few guys as his crew…loved drag racing every since…saw all the superstars Sox & Martin – Don “The Snake” Prudhomme – Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen – Shirley Muldowney – Jungle Jim – Danny “The Flying Hawalian”…”

    Life is too short for boring color combinations!”

    “A perfect vehicle for Veterans Day! Thank you to all veterans!
    Before his passing, I was fortunate to attend an open house at Jacques Littlefield’s estate where there were hundreds of tanks from all eras. He and his crew did a masterful job of restoring and maintaining these beauties.
    I was wondering if this was ever part of his collection?”

    You can also get one for a Supermarine Spitfire amongst other interesting means of transport. Haynes was my biggest source pre internet when I got interested in Alfa…”

    “AMX’s and Javelins are the most underrated Muscle cars. Never understood that. They are so awesome! Too bad AMC always struggled with the big 3. Imagine if there was a AMX made today. GLWTA. Beautiful car! Great color combo and always loved the Rear spoiler option.”

    “@PDXBryan this one blows my SOHCs off.
    I’ve only once seen a cammer swap as nice as this and it was supposedly done by KK as an experimental along with one they build as a mid-engine Boss 9 (both fastback Mustangs).
    What’s so clever about this is you’d never expect it. The level of street sleeper, slack jaw, dumbdoundery here is off the charts. Roll up in this anywhere and get affirming nods, then open the hood and prepare for the cult of engine worship to begin their drooling genuflections.…”

    “340 vs 383 the 340 wins. Not only in a straight line but especially on a winding road. The small block with the well designed chassis corners like a sports car. To be fair, these days the restrictive 383 exhaust can be relieved with contemporary under-chassis headers and the big block can be as light as a small block with aluminum heads, intake and water pump housing. Throw in a stroker crank for 500ci and it will get interesting.
    But for stock vintage examples I think it’s no contest. If…”

    “New for me as well! “Scorpio” caught my eye – I had an ’89 Merkur Scorpio from new for several years and really liked it. But it had a V6 which I think was also used in the Bronco. In an amazing coincidence, a co-worked had a Merkur XR4Ti, so we had the rare parking lot that had two Merkurs in it. GLWTA”

    “Wow… just wow.
    It has always been my dream to own a Clive Cussler owned vehicle. As Mr. Cussler created my all-time fictional hero, in Dirk Pitt.
    To this day, part of my automotive bucket list if I ever had lottery money, is a Cussler musuem collection vehicle. Right after a MB 540K and a Duesenberg SC cabriolet.
    As a child growing up, I was a rabid James Bond fan, and had started scuba diving at 12, and become a member of the Cousteau Society the same year.
    A local book store employee…”

    “Still my favorite of the Cobra-R models. I know the 2000 seems to be everyone’s top pick, but I like the trimmer lines of the first generation SN95 and the ease of the 351W. I guess this one has such low miles it would be a shame to drive it much, but I would drive it regardless.”
