    That GT is perversely beautiful. Knowing that it's a mere hour and a half's drive from me is almost painful.

    The Jag? Hell, it's a classic - and classy - Jag. That's all that needs to be said to explain it. But the GT, hell. #boston

    That MkIX is a lovely car. It boggles the mind that the likes of Raymond Baxter rallied them. #boston

    The hatch on the Jensen GT looks quite versatile. There is clearly more than enough room for a dead body rolled up in an old piece of carpet. They might want to tint those windows though. #boston

    @emg77: I think you might be disapointed in how that works out in practice. That roll of carpet is a lot less flexible than you might imagine. #boston

    I saw that Jensen GT parked at Dorchester Tire a couple months ago, about a block from my house. I took a few photos as well but didn't send them in (technically, it was on private property). The tire guys didn't give up anything about the owner or the car's history.

    I hope Dr. Danger took a trip down the side streets of my drug-dealer-infested neighborhood -- there's an immaculate Phaeton W12 with Bentley wheels street-parked not a half-block from where that Jensen was, and a late 80's Silver Spirit up the hill. #boston

    Wow, a left hand drive Jensen GT? How many of these were actually sold in the US? After all, Jensen was already gasping its final breaths when the GT was introduced, and under 500 GTs were ever made. I'll bet the fact that it's based on the near-disastrous Jensen-Healey didn't exactly draw customers either.

    The dowager-empress Mark IX was an impressive beast, but it was very outdated by 1958. I'd rather have a Mark X or 420G. #boston

    @Dr. H. F. Danger: I see some new high buck Italians at the Ritz Millenium. But they don't stay exposed long. Probably worried about being taken down by roving packs of feral cabs.

    Also saw a new Bentley on the street in the Leather District - with a Chrysler 300 side by side.

    Guess I need to limber up my camera. I could be a stalkerazzi, and demand that the glitterati stop blocking my shot of their cars. #boston

    NYC traffic spills over big time...Connecticut and New Jersey might as well be part of the ranking.


    For example, I have gone from GWU to New Haven on I-95 without ever shifting past 3rd gear.

    @brandegee: Ah, but in what car? If you're driving a Ford GT, first gear will take you past 60 mph, and Porsche 911 Turbo will take you well over 100 mph in third. :D

    Wooo!


    I've called 3 of those cities home.


    Currently in #1 LA, it takes me 45 minutes to cover 45 miles and drop of my wife halfway there.


    Of course I live a couple of miles northeast of downtown and commute way out to the ex-urbs on freeways that might as well be the autobahn, so that helps.

    What? Is San Jose really a city? After all these years I've yet to find downtown. Ok I think I know where it is, probably right next to the airport.

    I think New York is plenty bad even with the transportation system in place. Like an idiot, when I was supposed to meet my class at the Museum of Modern Art, I decided to just drive in, and at 4:00 PM on Manhattan it took me nearly four hours to go 3.6 miles. I've never seen traffic like that anywhere before.
