Gas Monkey Garage sucks------that covers it

Sure hated to see what they did to the cherry 68 Impala they took to Barrett Jackson.

I see original stuff getting bastardized all the time and it makes me sad.

I am a purist when it comes to classic cars.
Disc brakes, dual master cylinder, 12v conversion, not a deal breaker for me.
Saw a 55? (I think) T-bird, really was liking it.
Red in color, SWEET!
But heard original color scheme was Turqouise and White, lost interest REAL quick!
For me, Original, or as close as you can get, are the ones I really like!

I can only watch Barrett-Jackson for so long before I start to cry seeing all the cars I sold for dirt cheap going for tens of thousands of dollars.

Oh yeah, that will be exciting... Remember the Formula E? There would be so many battery packs stacked up, it would look the Port.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

YES! I will buy THAT one! The basis for the Yugo.

NASCAR needs more help than Bill Nye to make it exciting.

Bummer.

Land Rover will end the production of its ‘Defender’ series today. After making the legendary off-roader for almost seven decades, the company will cease its production in Solihull, Birmingham. It seems the iconic off-roader isn’t being killed because of economics or diminishing sales.

I'm on my third bike. I wouldn't even have had the first one if I listened.

Here is a clip from Top Gear, Jeremy shows what is involved with making batteries for Hybrid and electric cars.
Jump ahead to 3:20 to hear him explain it, or if you are a Top Gear fan, the entire segment is 6:30 in length.
The last part of the segment, Jeremy shows how a BMW M3 burns less fuel than a Toyota Prius.
Enjoy!

That is really interesting. He forgot to add that if you own a Hybrid you must stick your nose in the air and look down on others.

I've had mo-peds/mini-bikes/motorcycles of some sort ever since I was about twelve. Right now I have a 2011 Ultra Classic Electra Glide. Its a big pig of a cruiser that I bought new. I've been thinking of getting something different but haven't decided yet. I'm not quite ready for a trike. My wife loves riding --in fact I have a hard time sneaking out for a solo ride.

Is anyone watching Barrett- Jackson? I can't believe the money some of that stuff is going for. I went back in about 2010. Everyone should go once in their life---its a real circus.
