    “I made a comment on this auction before an epic 10 day trip to Italy. I’m back. The auction is still going!
    I was in northern Italy (Milan and Lake Como) and guess how many Ferraris I saw?
    One. One solitary 296… in ten days.
    My son: “Dad, where are all the Ferraris?”
    Me: “In the USA.””

    “Mezger engine block was literally built to be wailed on at redline for 24 hrs straight, it’s nearly impossible to destroy it, you have to be intentionally holding it past redline for probably 1 hr+.
    Reminds me of the old cash for clunkers video where they emptied the oil pan on an 80 series landcruiser, put it in neutral, and floored it. It took like 20+ mins at past redline for the engine to give out with no lubrication.”

    “I have and would drive any 200 cross country. Bring a couple spanners 10mm 13 mm pop into advance grab some coolant and oil, bring an extra thermostat and you should be good to go.
    If coming west stay off 80 at night when rainy lol. 200’s are the best when on point.”

    “Nobody ever accused Gus Godley of being a visionary.
    In 1959, Gus was a janitor at Chrysler’s Highland Park headquarters, a long way from Fort Stockton, Texas, where common sense was considered a civic virtue and automobiles were generally expected to resemble automobiles. He swept floors, emptied wastebaskets, and consumed enough Folgers to keep a small freight train running on schedule.
    One rainy Tuesday morning, Gus was cleaning the Plymouth Design Studio before the stylists arrived.…”

    “I think adding the Buick rally wheels was a great choice, especially with the white wall tires. They spice it up a bit without being obnoxious. I imagine that pulling the car cover over this beast would be quite a workout. For me, the only wagon more desirable than this would be a 1968 Olds Vista Cruiser.”

    “A V10 Gated Gallardo is a big 12 year old goal for me to own. 12 year old me used to see the Gallardo all the time before the Huracan existed when I was in high school. No newer V10 baby Lambo can replace the Gallardo for being gated and better looking with age. GLWS on this Rosso Italian beauty.”

    “Good memories on this BAT auction. We had a 2005 Freestar SES that we drove from 2005 to 2019. Had 250,000 miles. Took my son to 1st day of kindergarten and also helped him move into college his freshman year. 3 trips to Disneyworld, trips to Toronto, NYC, Pittsburgh, several to Indiana etc. Was a great riding van, large gas tank, decent milage. Made it from Disney to south of Raleigh on 1 tank. Our SES was the “sport ” version, this is the top of the line. We had some electrical issues…”

    “The 8.1/Allison combo makes these trucks virtually bulletproof. Sure, they sip more fuel than their diesel sisters, but the buy in price and cheapness of maintenance and repairs make it much less of an issue. I sold mine 5 years ago and have regretted it ever since. It towed a 12k 5er all over the west, no problem. Uggh!”

    “I remember the day when, “stock car” races, the cars had to be stock. So each manufacturer made a special super car and produced only 2000 of then, just so they could race them. I wish they still did this.”

    “The best color and the best year to own.
    Road trip? This is the car you want. Need to do a Costco run for a family gathering of 100 people? The Impala trunk has you covered!
    Some of the best air conditioning and heat you’ll ever encounter in a car.
    And if you desire more power you can do what I’m doing now after 13 years of ownership. Lloyd Elliot heads and cam for some more fun. 🙂
    GLWA and I hope the next owner puts some proper mileage on this beast.”

    “I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
    More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
    This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”

    “Former owner of this car, here. This was one of the best running and funnest driving 911’s I have ever owned. The E model has smaller numbers, but probably is the best driving street machine out of all the early cars. 1972 model to boot! For a little background, this car was purchased brand new by an airline 747 captain living in Tiburon, CA. Years later I find myself working for that same airline. A few years back I was flying with a guy on a multi day trip. We were shooting the breeze while…”
