I went to a wedding at a auto museum in Hershey, PA over the weekend. What an awesome place to have a wedding/reception. Instead of sitting at your table staring at the other people you may or may not know for 2 hours we got to walk around and look at cool cars! There were only two that I really took pictures of: GNX - 600 original miles, still has the factory plastic on the seats.   Porsche 959 - Never thought I'd ever see one of these, I was laughing like an idiot. Must be new, they didn't have any placard or anything about it. I really really really wanted to look in every nook and cranny but it wasn't meant to be.

travisray2004 posted:Some low paid data entry clerk that couldn't care less about cars much less know anything about them is my guess. Yea I would guess this. The museum isn't enormous by any means so I imagine it doesn't have a large number of fulltime staff, and those that do work there doing those types of jobs probably see it as "just a job" vs. trying to do these cars their full justic.

I see this both ways, I do think cars deserve to be driven. But on the other hand this one completely mint can hopefully stay that way so future generations can see how bad rear end it really was. If I was into collecting (and had the pockets to do so), I'd have to have two. One to rub with cotton diapers and the other to drive around.

To keep with the current theme, a guy I follow on facebook is in the middle of a sweet 1970 bronco project  quote:Check out this awesome project. It is a 1970 Bronco on steroids. This bad boy has been widened 7" right down the center. This will strickly be a cabriolet with no side windows or moldings. We will be building custom dash, roll bars, console, and a host of one off details on this incredible 4 x 4. We just brought it and it will go into product shortly. We are looking forward to our very own Thom doing some killer metal work on this project.

My friend has a 6-speed and at least at the time when he got it, you had to specifically order one with a manual, otherwise they were all the auto. That could have been because that was when they were first released though maybe. His wife has a 335ix with the 8spd and it is a nice gearbox, but yea, manual is the way to go even though it's slower.

Preoptopus posted:Dude "surfs" a wave on his dirt bike in hawaii probably the most baddass thing ive seen and not even redbull! Dang this is awesome. Spiffness posted:Correction, we're getting two months without a Roadkill, a Roadkill website that gets first episodes behind a paywall, then a 1 month delay to Youtube & a Dodge sponsorship that 'wont change anything' This is not awesome and I have a feeling it's going to cost them some fans. They should just do Patreon or something and let the enthusiasts support them directly at what level they feel is comfortable while still accepting sponsorships. Don't get me wrong, I love the roadkill guys and they deserve to get paid, I just don't like the approach. BOM is on patreon and I support them, they're are getting ~$1100 per episode from supporters right now with like 5% of the viewership (if that).

Yea I commented as much on facebook, I have a feeling it's going to be like /Drive and there will be a considerable backlash and eventual backpedaling (though I don't know that drive did any backpedaling). For better or worse, people expect poo poo to be free these days. I think Finnegan and freiburger need to own the roadkill brand and split it off from motor trend if they could make a living doing it.

I don't know anything about GMG but I assumed roadkill would get beat just because they fail a lot in their videos. Like, not in a bad way, that's what makes it real and entertaining. Looks like GMG made a full on drag car and roadkill just hopped up a charger hellcat. I'll be happy to resume less-trash-talky facebook feeds now.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:I agree. Every time I see some Instagram collection of a Saudi or Dubai car guy's collection of cars, it's just the same as any other obscenely wealthy middle-eastern car guy's collection. They all have a Bugatti, one or more of the LaFerrari, P1, and 918, a few newer 911's of which at least one must be the GT3, a few newer Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc. Always the same. Every now and then someone will have something interesting. The one that stands out to me is @the_collection1, he has all that stuff, but also cool poo poo like THE roadgoing 911GT1, a CLK GTR, McLaren F1, Ferrari 288GTO Evo, and some other neat poo poo.
