    Well so it is. Thanks for the link. That’s a lot of dough for a triumph but I dig it.

    I dd a frame off restoration of a '58 TR3B. After messing around with older Porsches (356B, 356C) I wanted something simple and fun to drive. Those cut down doors and flat windshield made you feel like you were doing 100 at 60 mph. It had a wet sleeve engine derived from a tractor, no first gear synchro, removable plastic side curtains and bucket seats that were the definition of 'bucket'. I think it had about 100 horsepower and would eat MGB's for lunch.
    After the TR I went to a Austin Healey 3000 Mark 3 but it was not the same. Beautiful to look at but a comparative pig to drive and speed bumps were the cars mortal enemies.
    Sold it pretty quick.

    More fun with cars. My 89 turbo likes to hang out with other fancier cars. Also, being up at Brighton makes me want to go skiing.

    Man I love a navy 911. Almost as much as a green one. Sad that I saw this one was sold today. Not that I was in the market, but I wanted to see it in person when this all ends.

    I watched that loser video, and then youtube threw this gem at me. Leno's YouTube show is so much better than that crappy show on CNBC.
    Beautiful hot rodded 68 Camaro. Basically all new frame with a 427. Love to drive this thing.

    This ‘14 awd was so smooth and reliable. Great in snow. Will probably own another like it, then pass down to my young son. Click image for larger version.

    Counting blue cars was popular in the 90's.

    Yes it was and a quick google tells me that was Dishwalla's one and only hit.

    I'm gonna keep that in my back pocket if I ever hit up a trivia night again.

    2 Lexus blues for that gen fyi. Mine was deep sea mica. The other is a more mellow slate type color. Nice as well.

    We used to joyride in my buddy's dad's GS400 in high school. That thing was fast as fuck for the late 90s and felt like it rode on smooth glass. Not sure how much longer we'll be seeing n/a V8, RWD sedans.

    Mid size V8 luxo sedans used to be a great class - 540i 6 speed, GS400, E430, A6 4.2.

    Cars have soul? Without a manual?

    Sedan fans are weird.

    Ain't that the truth. My dad owned 4 of the exact same black over tan 540i he loved them so much. Total sleeper that went like stink on shit (even with the autobox). This gen GS was particularly sharp IMHO.
