What you have to wonder is what did this beast cost to build? The seller isn’t going to get that back, but I’d still like to see him/her get a decent price for such a decent effort. Read more

Wow, that’s some serious evaluation. Kudos. I was never this good at the math. Read more

And you haven’t bought it because...? Read more

Truth be told, I’ve never driven a coupe version of the XJ-S, only the drop top. With the top up, that had even worse visibility owing to its smaller window area. Top down, of course, things were very different. I also found it to be a very claustrophobic car when closed up. Read more

Ooh, good call. I should have just made a Jag generalization. Read more

That’s some excellent sleuthing there. Read more

My first time in a RHD car was in a 1955 Morgan here in the States. With concentration, I was able to manage ok, although at the first one-two shift away from a traffic light, my right-hand flailed out over the cut-down door opening for the non-existent shifter that my brain somehow thought should be out there.

Corrected, thanks. Like I said, I was really effing sick. Read more

I think these are presently trending upward in value, much like the even wackier Prowler has. If I was one of those top hat and monocle rich guys, I’d definitely be giving this truck a hard look. Read more

It’s not this specific model, it’s a lot of cars today. Modern radiators are typically built out of aluminum radiator elements capped with plastic and a failure of either of the components or the joint between them requires a replacement. Long gone are the days of simply brazing leaking radiators. Read more

Counterpoint — horizontal speedometers and wide split-bench seats are two things that should never have been pushed out of style by cookie-cutter cars like the Accord. Read more

Quibble un-quibbled. Thanks for pointing that out! Read more

Considering we are in a once in a Millenia drought, I don’t think you’d even need the wipers. Read more

In my youth, I had an 8-track recorder. To make it even more awesome, it was by Realistic from Radio Shack. My nerd-dom knows no boundaries. Read more

Thanks to all who pointed out the funky steering wheel hub. I was so mesmerized by the passenger airbag cover that I totally failed to notice that. That, along with the panoply of title changes, indicates that strange things are afoot at the Circle-K with this car. Read more

I don’t believe that Leno has one... Yet. I did see one last year getting tires at my local America’s Tires shop. It had a vanity license plate that read 1 of 276 which I assume refers to the number sold in the U.S., not overall production.

Yep, one of Qvale’s smart moves in trying to market the car was to get the car into the racing scene. Win on Sunday, sell on Monday! Read more

You know, I could be down with a C4 or C5 ‘Vette. I already have a Boxster and I find the S2000 to be too small for my tastes. You can’t go wrong with a Miata, but other than modifying it for more poop, I’m not going to get the kind of experience I want like I will in the Porsche. Read more

My reticence is driven by the feeling that this is the worst time in years to buy any used car. Also, there’s the whole divorce thing to consider, should I think about bringing home another stray. Read more
