Hope he’s got an effective air conditioner plumbed into that nuclear powerplant or whatever back there. Read more

You people are boring. It’s a low-production American GT roadster in fine shape with plenty of power and genuine racing-team credibility for less than a V6 Camry. A couple of quirks, sure, but for something fun and interesting this works and it’s a fair ask. Read more

Please. Jalopnik had you beat by almost half an hour on this, and their writeup is way more detailed. Why didn’t you just bring that over? Read more

Does anyone look at vintage charts anymore? Seems like a sensible way to encourage a chance on something that may be from an unfamiliar producer but has a pretty good chance of being at least safely good and maybe really enjoyable. Read more

Other than the very VW-specific stuff like that transmission mount this is a pretty good checklist for any vintage-car refurbishment project. Read more

Some sort of electronic ignition system has to be high on the list, especially given the effed-up nature of the current setup. Find a good Pertronix kit or something that clears out all the Brass Age works. It’ll start easier, run cleaner, all kinds of good stuff. Read more

For older Porsche 911s it’s above the rear window.

BMW 8-Series. No frames. Read more

It’s a 30-year-old Lotus. It’s never going to be perfect. Would personally be looking for an SE model in a somewhat less lurid color if I was in the market for an Esprit, but the ask is fair. Read more

I remain forever aggrieved that they didn’t build any of these with left-hand drive. Read more

I like these. Not a big max-camber fan, but can definitely get with the mindset. Best thing you can do with a boring car is modify it to all ends.

Yeah, he’s throwing a tantrum that would make some three-year-olds tell him to get a grip, but at least he’s keeping it all on himself. I give him credit for at least being civil to his opponent and the chair ump. Read more
