Cool shit! I think their prices just went up... Thank you, Ryan.
Must have been a brilliant and driven guy. Those of us familiar with sailing, (kind of like racing, at the opposite end of the speed spectrum!)...
Very cool post! Iconic photo by John Severson who went on to start Surfer Magazine. While Greg Noll was also the first to surf the outer reef at...
You can tell a lot about a man by the car he drives. (But we all know that.)
He casually said he captured a German courier in N Africa and recovered the pouch. But the real reason he did it at all was to get his hands on...
Superbly well said. All of it.
'The Right Stuff' was written by Tom Wolfe. Yes, it's a great read. The movie is also worth watching,
Great post. Question - my daughter, too, got her permit a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, she wants nothing of 3-pedal driving. Unless I can talk her...
Great read Ryan. Don't give up on the sport... the key is to pick the right conditions / the right location for your skill level. Small and...
@typo41 said "I like the purple 46'ish Ford sedan twisting and turning with the smaller sports cars,,,what an effort!" I looked at that car too....
My post seems to have inadvertently been included in Ryan's quote. Apologies.
I like your spelling better. QuaraTAINE vs quarantine. Has a nicer ring to it!
1) Get my Duett back on the road and running. Hit a deer 2 years ago, got the body work done, then every 'maintenance' project turned into a...
The film is beyond excellent. Amazing, the high quality stuff that's out there that we don't even see. I'm curious about the story behind this...
Corvair tube ride... Classic!
As I was reading the story and only saw the initial picture, I thought that was the roadster the kid built, after he got home from the library!...
You also have to consider what a dollar means to the customer. For some $50K is a fun weekend, for others it's 2 years' salary. The key is to...
Ryan - you owe it to yourself (hell - you owe it to all of us) to find that guy! Likely he's still around. He's done you and, by extension, all...
My dad was a salesman, not a mechanic. A great salesman but completely clueless with tools. My love of cars came early on, when he'd bring boxes...
Ryan - When you're ready to go 'Cross Country in the Clipper', consider this an *invite* from Montauk / Hither Hills - sort of like the Malibu of...
the song is actually titled 'Detroit Made', more recently covered by Bob Seger.
I'd be tempted to choose the Cadillac - already nearly perfect; little work required. After that, the Bonneville, perhaps more potential but for...
I'm intentionally writing this without reading the comments that came before. Recognizing that this is entirely subjective... Wow. I thought...
*That* may be the most beautiful ride I've seen on this board! Wow.
Maybe so (they'd be fools not to be) but I don't know a single Porsche guy who considers himself 'a BMW guy too'!
So, given that I'm on Long Island, I have to ask the question - what's the Long Island connection? A little history please...
I do like the post, but... there's something sacrilegious about that car. Unlike most everything else on the road (then and now) it was designed...
Fantastic post. Thank you J-B. I did not know that Dan Gurney died last week. Here's his obit in the NYT:...
