    My wife works at a spa. I wish she made enough money to afford one of these, so I could spend it on one of the 70 remaining G8 GXPs out there.

    "Speed-Obsessed Hairdressers"? Wouldn't that make this the AC DC version?

    It's what I like to call "aggressively feminine." What's the price on this pile of crap anyway? Probably in the base C6 area, no?

    GT350 stripes on a Cooper Mini does not a GT350 make.


    Even more heinous is the laurel that seems clearly intended to evoke a Cobra.


    Leave the Mini alone. It's a fine car as is.

    @smalleyxb122: The laurels come from the original, "classic" mini cooper.

    @steelwheels: an eeror in every psot!: I understand the heritage of the laurel. My complaint was more with the placement, even though it's not a placement of a Cobra logo on any original GT350/GT500, and it's not even the evocative of the proper Cobra logo. It's just that coupled with the GT350-esque stripes, the laurel seems to be reminiscent of the Cobra head from the AC based Shelby Cobras.


    Perhaps I'm reading too much into it.

    Getting "Schnitzerized" sounds like a bad thing. As in, "I was going through security at the airport, and the TSA agent took me in a back room and I got Schnitzerized! It was awful!"

    My grandfather told me about this once. (He was from Norwich, NY, which isn't that far from Binghamton.) This is the first time I've heard BARC mentioned since he died. Thank you for writing this fascinating article.

    I was really hoping. My uncle ran the 1957 Sebring in an Arnolt-Bristol, but I did not see him. I'm sending this link to my dad though. He knows more than I what Uncle Leonard looked like in 1957.

    @CafeRacer1200: Looks like he came 5th in class, 30th overall, and importantly, was classified as running at the finish. Not a bad showing considering that the winning car in his class was a Ferrari driven by a guy named Ginther.


    (I'm making it my mission to find a picture of your Uncle tonight.)

    I once saw a Porsche very similar to one of those in the main picture as I was exiting a Starbucks. It had the same color and was numbered similarly with a round sign, it looked like it was in mint condition. Anyway, it had the loudest engine I've ever heard on a street car. It was so mean that some guy said "Savage!" I even felt surprised that the young driver stopped to let me cross the aisle. I wonder if it was extremely modified, or if it was the original sound of that car.

    Murilee, you have got to stop with these postings... I'm in the mood to show what I came up with in a short perios of time on Craigslist:


    These are some unique LeMons Cars, just in time for the New England race in July... so bring a trailer:


    How about a Camouflaged VW Cabriolet?



    [worcester.craigslist.org]


    Or how about something unique? Like a 1960 Ford Thunderbird? Sure it doesn't run, but drop a ford 351 in it, and go!



    [hartford.craigslist.org]


    How about a Running 1969 Pontiac LeMans?



    [hartford.craigslist.org]


    Here's a real treat, a Running (though not very well at the moment) 1950 Dodge Coronet?



    [westernmass.craigslist.org]


    If the Coronet doesn't light your fire, how about an honest to god 1951 Kaiser for only $500?



    [westernmass.craigslist.org]


    Something that's just a bit different, a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente, straight six, 3 Speed, just right!



    [westernmass.craigslist.org]


    How about a Supercharged 1995 Buick Riviera? There shouldn't be that many problems with it!
