Goodfellas Pizza! I haven’t heard that name in forever. Where was that place again? It’s escaping me. Read more

Oh man, the poor bastards that had to take it off.... It took them 3 days Read more

Hundreds. Maybe 300 or 400. Read more

What’s really nuts is that it is vinyl, but not exactly a “wrap.” In that each piece is hand cut and laid, it's not one big sheet. It was crazy hard to install Read more

I did this same thing in collaboration with artist Tristan Eaton on my JCW Mini back in 2008. It looked nuts when you shined light on it. (Warning: gratuitous sideburns)

I mean, if the owners of the company offer to wrap the car, and they make the rules, they can certainly break them. Read more

Actually I had no problem driving a rolling billboard. But I’m asking others to help put miles on the car, and I didn’t want them driving a rolling billboard. Read more

I met the Wrapify guys at some car event a few months ago. They were super nice guys. They offered to wrap the Million Mile Lexus (which as of this writing has 935,000 miles) with a Castrol High Mileage ad, and based on the accumulated miles on that car and the ongoing road trips, I could have made a fuckton of cash,… Read more

You can buy a new Neon in the US right now. It will just have a badge on it that says “Dart.” Read more

When I was in high school I wanted to buy a lightly used Mustang Cobra Coupe (96-98 version). I went to a dealership that claimed to have such a car on their lot. When I arrived, the salesman pointed me to a V6 Convertible with the sport package and an automatic. If the automatic wasn’t a giveaway that the car… Read more

Prices for Motorex cars are already astronomical; R34's are deep in the six figures for one. Read more

The cars were confiscated during the investigation into Motorex, and then were later returned to the owners, who sued on the grounds they bought the cars in good faith. The judge agreed and all motorex customer cars are now legal, whether they were actually modified or not. Read more

Depends on the completeness of the car. There is a list somewhere but you can definitely import parts for cars that are not federalized. So you can import a whole bunch of parts, including a chassis, a crated engine, etc, and assemble them into a car on this side of the pond. But then what do you do with it? Read more

R33's are eligible to be federalized. As I’ve learned today, a company bought the Federalization rights to that car from Motorex at some point, and is offering to federalize cars for what is probably a ton of money. This does not mean that all R33's are legal, just that the 96-98 cars, which were crash tested by… Read more

A very small chance, yes, if someone spent an absolute fortune to have it federalized. Given that this was in Florida, and you can get a title and tags down there with, apparently, no problem at all, I’d put my own Skyline up as a bet it’s not. Read more

Probably ten times the price of crushing it. They could always auction it off in Canada Read more

Yeah, I looked at an R33 just like this before buying my R32, and the paperwork and buck tags didn’t add up. Do you have a photo of the firewall tag on the passenger side of the engine bay? That’s usually a good giveaway as to where the car originated from. Read more

I’ve been in the presence of 3 Motorex cars in my life. In each case, “Motorex” was in the first sentence spoken to me when I got near the car. Read more
