A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:
“This one hits a little close.
We weren’t married right out of high school, but I did have a Fiat X1/9, and we tried for a decade. Nada.
We went to China twice instead & came home with a couple of scared and underfed kids who are now teens and getting ready to take over the world. Girls is the elder, now a HS senior, has the most boring report cards ever – they only have one grade on them – she has a part time job, a side hustle, and was nationally competitive in two sports before…”
“This has been my all time favorite auction to date here on @bringatrailer. I know the new owner is going to be EXTREMELY pleased with this vehicle !!!
Thank you !!!

“A quick story…I share because the Porsche community here in BaT may enjoy. My first Porsche was an 89 Targa which I bought from my best friend in Austin around 1998. It was immaculate and he said don’t ever sell it. Being a Porsche rookie, I traded it in for a new 2005 4S. Beyond stupid move for many reasons. He let me off the hook but he died two years ago. While I have other Porsches, I had to go find a Targa or two to make it all good…..now is all good and he is smiling!”
“My dad’s first new car was a ‘61 Corvair coupe and that car took us from Hartford, CT to the Seattle Worlds Fair one year and Denver the next summer – no issues. I turned 16 in ‘63 and convinced him that we needed a turbo charged Spyder, so he bought a new one in ‘64 – aqua in color, 4speed – I learned to drive a stick on that car (lots of yelling as I recall). That summer we decided to do a tour of eastern Canada and all was fine until we hit New Brunswick and the engine was way down…”
