Yesterday’s comments of note You Should Know

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

“Thks auction has brought back some memories for me. Back in the mid/late fifties my parents had a 1952 Buick Roadmaster woody wagon, maroon with maroon leather interior. It was may fathers favorite car out of many Buicks he had owned. On many warm Sunday afternoons my parents would load me and my brother in the Buick along with a pick nick basket, and sometimes a cocker spaniel, and we’d go for drive. Often the drive took us to a place here in the hills of north central Pennsylvania know as…”

“One of the coolest daily drivers of all time. A wagon with a supercharged v8. The six-speed manual is the cherry on top. GLWTA!”

“I was a teenager HS student working at the corner service station. We had a local Dr that had one of these, his was the beautiful dark blue with matching padded top. He would pull in for gas, 27 gallon tank. After putting the car in “Park” he would tilt the wheel which would almost go horizontal on these and throw a small towel that covered the wheel from rim edge to edge. Gas up. Then………the fun would begin! Around to the car wash. Customers would be directed into the wash at the correct…”

“A story to make your day.
In 1983 reading an Automotive News, an ad taken out had a Lamborghini Countach for sale in Middle East, 35K US.
Hard to complete the purchase, Mersk shipping, import, bonds, DOT, EPA etc. While this was going,
This dignitary sent pictures of dozens of other Ferrari’s, Lamborghini’s, Rolls Royce’s etc. sitting in sand cover lots. Even a P-51 sitting in a park. Seems almost like when cars ran out of gas they were just parked!
There were two Miura’s, one red…”

“Thank you for the positive comments and questions.
This Citroen has always been owned by enthusiasts. It was sold new in France and the second owner moved it to the Netherlands ( a Mecca for Citroens)in 2000. He drove it to the 50th and 60th Citroen jubilees in Paris. Somewhere I’ve got a picture of it driving by the Arc de Triomphe. I’ve got a 2” thick folder of service receipts from the previous owner. He passed from covid and I bought it and imported to the states in the fall of…”

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

“This was my Dad’s car. I learned to drive a stick in this car and took my drivers test for my license. He and I worked on it together and we would race through the mountains. When he was over seas, my mom and I had to drive it weekly to keep it running. both of my parents are in heaven. My mom is looking down at me, saying what in the hell are you thinking? My dad is looking down at me and saying hell yeah!”

“It’s bittersweet to see this car listed here with @craterface. I was the co-driver for the Modena Centro Ore event in this car and it was just a champion. In addition to buying a tested and regularly driven car, you are buying a top-tier seller. I’ve had the pleasure of over a decade of friendship with the seller and his is a dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate steward of his cars. He is especially fond of Alfas and I suspect there is another Alfa coming to replace this one. Bid with…”

“Leading off the BaT Best Flybys of the Week is #XS003. The Kenny Brown suspension and chassis mods really hook this car up. Trust me when I tell you that this Outlaw is capable of so much more.

“Poster child for Toyota reliability, durability, ruggedness, ease of ownership all wrapped up in a perfectly sized no nonsense do it all pickup.
Added bonus, respectable mpg and well mannered handling.”

Sarki commented on No Reserve: 1997 Toyota T100 Xtracab 4×4 5-Speed

“These Ford GT’s are so much fun to drive, I took mine out this morning and the experience is almost indescribable. I have other supercars as well but the Ford GT is by far the best. Until you drive one you will never understand the why you need one of these in your collection. I do think they deserve to be DRIVEN!!!”

Slandry002 commented on Alex Zanardi, 1966-2026

“Power to weight for the win! This must about triple the horsepower from stock. I really like the angled exhaust exit and the great choice of wheels. The MOMO wheel is the finishing touch on this extremely tidy build.
I’m already smiling just thinking about driving this street legal go-kart. Being behind the wheel of this would make my face hurt from happiness.
GLWTA.”

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

“In the fall of 1975, Fort Stockton had a way of educating you whether you asked for it or not.
That afternoon, the freshman left Jim Bowie High School—“Home of the Fighting Knives”—with his head full of Health & Human Anatomy, a class that had spent the better part of the day explaining things nobody had ever explained to him before, using charts that looked like they’d been drawn by a committee with a grudge. The bell rang, chairs scraped, and every boy in the room walked out…”

CaptainMyCaptain commented on 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

“Had mine for almost two years, absolutely love it (V6, manual, sport suspension with Goodyears). Some people may be put off by a sports car that can lose a 0-60 battle with a modern high-end SUV, but that’s not the type of person that owns a Lotus long-term. These cars talk to you and let you know how you the inputs you make create the overall experience. I wanted this car because I wanted engagement.
Think about marksmanship for a moment – you’re at the range shooting 800 yards with a…”

“In 1984, I was 13 years old and my parents were finally considering other cars to replace their old GM boring 4 door sedans. We went into the Nissan dealership and there was a 50th anniversary 300ZX which looked exactly like this one. Compared to what I was used to riding around in at the time, the Z was a spaceship in comparison. So cool and I didn’t really know what a turbo was, but I knew I wanted one! The dealership had it roped off to keep drooling kids and teens like me aways from…”
