I owned a 2000 S430 once. Totally different car. Fairly reliable as he reports. Read more

Tavarish and I have similar tastes in cars. I own a 2007 S600 Bi-turbo. I recently sold a Porsche 944 Turbo and bought a 1999 Porsche 911 with 243,000 miles. I also just picked up a 2004 Range Rover HSE for $2800. Read more

Thank you. I really really hope to stick around. Read more

I think this job is out of reach for most at home mechanics. Read more

Well I own a 2007 S600 if that tells you anything, with 152,000 miles. And I just bought a 1999 Porsche 911 with 243,000 miles. Read more

The Bronco buzz is strong. Too bad people are expecting the OJ Simpson Bronco to make a comeback when it’s probably going to more closely resemble the Craptastic Bronco II. Read more

@First shift: I was surprised at my local GMC dealer advertising current model year Yukons at $10,000 off or healthy discounts and 0% financing for 72 months. I don’t recall seeing this since 2008, before the cash for clunkers shit hit the fan. Read more

I attended the Grand Tour taping in California. They were trying to arrange the audience for a shot and told them to step back 20 meters. The American audience had no idea what that meant. Read more

I certainly love analog. In my garage is a 1980 240D and a 1984 300SD. Both are stick shifts, so they are very engaging cars to drive. Zero electronic nannys of any kind. If there’s ever an EMP attack, I’ll be one of the few still driving. Read more

From what I saw, it was clean Read more

It was literally the last hotel left in town with rooms available. I guess there was a music festival going on at the same time? Read more

1939 Lincoln Zephyr hot rod. He told me it was built 20 years ago by someone on the East coast. Chopped with a 350. He also talked about how he doesn’t buy any more storage units since the show “blew it up”, and he rarely got anything special out of them anyway. Read more
