I was in a parking lot of a Target store, near the street when I saw a similar thing happen. I walked over with my son (who was about 9 or 10) to see if anyone needed help. A woman got out of the car that had been hit and was just standing dazed, and as I approached to ask if she was OK, she shot out a load of… Read more

@harumph: Thanks—I figured Japanese "something""something" but couldn't get the rest of it. Read more

That's kinda Qute, but I won't fit in it, I'm sure. Read more

To whom is this worth $250,000? It looks not unlike my uncles '66 Fairlane that he loaned me to take on a prom date in 1967. Yes, I am a geezer. Read more

I worked at a Porsche dealer in the 80's, amongst all the Pour-shuh buyers and fan-boys, and learned that if you want to really sound pretentious, it has 2 syllables. But I still hate it when someone on TV uses just one. Read more

Meh—I said months ago that I was already bored with the retro Challenger and Camaro. Anybody remember the Prowler? At this point in Chrysler's story, you think the R&D money would go towards something that people can afford and doesn't promote irresponsible driving. Read more

Cool car..has lots of 60's panache. Also, the brainchild of George Romney, one of the good politicians of that era. I won't go any further, just in case the Mormons are blurking. Read more

I just saw the movie "The Queen" with Helen Mirren recently, and was amused to see scenes of HRH driving a big ass Range Rover at Balmoral. Whether she actually does or not, who knows. But it was in a movie, so it must be true.. and BTW, thanks for posting Amazing Grace. All I need is to get all verklempt before I go… Read more

@SwatLax: I especially love that this book has 2 "5 star" ratings. Who'da thunk it? Read more

I parked next to a red one of these at the grocery store yesterday. I have to say it's a damn good looking car for a Cadillac. Not that I could ever afford one but I was impressed by the lines and general design. Read more

I sold VW's in the 70's and 80's. I loved people bringing in their year old LeCar's to trade for the Rabbit or Jetta they wanted to buy the year before, but didn't think they could afford. After a year of LeCar ownership, they realized it was FRENCH!! Read more

My dad bought a brand new 1970 Dodge truck sort of like that except it was like this [www.sweptline.com] and instead of green it was turquoise. But I remember that it said "Adventurer" on the dashboard trim and "Dude" on the back of the bed. "Dude" didn't mean the same thing then. But I think even my dad would have… Read more

I spent some time in Brazil many years ago and DKW's were all over the place, mostly taxis, since not many Brasileiros in that day and age owned their own cars. I remember them being tiny and noisy. Like most Brazilian cars back then. Read more

@elhigh: Wow, I'm impressed that you know that ! On a related note, I was walking through the mall located on the Las Vegas strip a couple of weeks ago, and saw Lou Ferrigno and a woman(assuming his wife) coming down the escalator as I got on the next one. I've lived in Las Vegas 9 years and this is my first… Read more

@MeMikeYouNot: and I just realized I've opened myself up to lots of criticism by all the women Jalops who love cars...apologies in advance. My ex treated cars as appliances-something to get her to the grocery store or church. But again, that was not chief amongst our problems. Read more

@LTDScott: I think a car geek being married to a non-car geek(any woman) is always ground for divorce but we had LOTS of other issues. Read more

@LTDScott: I was at Universal Hollywood 6-7 years ago too and was so amazed that they didn't use the right model Dodge. My wife (at the time) was amazed that anyone would even notice or care that it wasn't the right car. I also noticed that there was a number of people standing in line to have their pix taken with the… Read more

Las Vegas winter auto kit: Roll up windows and close sunroof. Be glad you don't live in Utah or Wyoming anymore Read more

A friend of mine who did some house painting for me had a very early one of these...I rode with him to the paint store during his job and the floor on the passenger side was nearly rusted out, a hole about 12-14 inches wide. Kind of scary and fun at the same time! Good thing it wasn't raining that day. Read more

I've said this before: a damn good looking Camry. Read more
