Can anyone provide any details on the # 49 car with 'Bronx * Calif' on the rear lid? Thank you.
Sweet, but... now that you're on the shoebox kick, I'm waiting for you to get to the wagons!
I get that, I think. But... isn't wearing an old jacket a bit like driving an old car? There's something very cool about the art. I have some...
No shortage of Porsches in the paradise where I'm blessed to live and work. The 'nicest' I've seen was a '62 cabrio randomly parked in a beach...
Thanks Ryan. Like most people here, I've 'heard of this before'. I just never heard of it happening to anyone I actually know. I've been...
My brother's '53 Buick Special convertible. No dents, no rust. Ran like a dream. Bought in '65 for $75. He drove it for 6 months until the...
Ryan knows his history... 'Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich'. Norman Ohler. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; 2017.
Well, just because they had money and brute force doesn't mean they lacked innovation or creativity. ...and that engine didn't just come off a...
Love the garage scene with pistons all over the floor... What a hoot!
Fathers and sons. Thanks Ryan. I surely got my love of cars from my dad. My Hot Rod Fever's gone undiagnosed so far but I have been told I...
[And the only thing worse than underestimating the influence you have is over-estimating it.] Very true. Well said. That so rare combination of...
Sobering. Death is a part of life. For these gentlemen, death with dignity.
In the early/mid 70's - I remember (and think of this all too often!) a friend who bought a nearly perfect SL190 for $1000, someone else paid the...
It totally depends on the car. For me, first choice if old and intact is natural patina, no matter the color that's mostly faded away... I...
Way cool. For sure the most complete collection I've seen. Some of the old travel decals and (of course) surf related decals are also quite nice....
Out of sheer curiosity, I did ask him what was behind the other 17 doors. “Nothing cool,” he said apologetically. “Probably just a lot of...
Hot damn! Thank you Ryan. My dad was a Porsche dealer (p the 356 era). I learned a quirky appreciation of cars from him but the rod and custom...
The site won't allow me to order a tag topper... Are all the ones not yet in stock already spoken for? Thanks...
Neither old nor obscure but definitely not pop... John Hiatt: 1. Detroit Made 2. Fireball Roberts 3....
Yes. That is a serious and important question. Sadly (and without any disrespect to God or one's personal religion), if we leave it to others,...
I found a website http://www.interfund.biz/carrerapan/index.htmlwhere it appears you can still buy the DVD and poster. Looks suspect and there's...
Thank you. Much appreciated. Definitely want a roadster so will begin to look around. Thanks again.
I've been kicking around the idea of building an AV8 for some time, a la the Tardel book. Yesterday I looked at a local 1929 Sport Coupe in...
Thanks guys. Will mull this over a bit more... longhorizon
I'd like to install a fuel pressure gauge inside the engine compartment. It appears the liquid filled ones (though recommended over non-liquid...
What? No mention of Viva VanStory??
Ryan, Seriously excellent write-up. Like everything else we do in life, what and how we drive means weighing risk v benefit. It's a no...
