Does she still have that funky-ass Flxible for sale?

Oh yea! The velvet interior is what attracted me.

I actually don’t mind most of the looks of the new car. The tapered, almost hatchback looking rear end is fine for me. That front end though? Nope. Worth the $10k more for the Acura version just because of that.

Also not a fan of losing the N/A V6 to go to the turbo I4. All the more reason to get the Acura.

They got the ILX to actually look decent....

Car looking dated? Add more grilles...

… and a bigger badge.

Still, looks better than the tarted up Civic they were trying to charge a premium price for.

I'll wait for Rob to chime in, though.

They copied the bigger badge from Mercedes...

I think Mercedes got it from Flava Flav. ;-)

It would have to be a clock.

Yeah, but when I see the models driving at with the blue backlit grill star emblem I can't help but think "Fight the Power".

Goodwood Revival is this weekend. The Revival has the vintage car and bike races. Here is a rather chaotic example of no one holding back with the classics.

Wow, not holding back like the usual vintage racing. That XKE coupe with the front end blowing up reminds me of a 2002 I had that would do the same at ~80 when I forgot to latch the hood. Couldn't see a thing until it dropped below 70.

I have said the Monterey Historics are the second best to Goodwood. Crazy.

That guy drilling into the back of the silver car (Ferrari?) is a dick. Love the close racing though

Will have to check it out again. What I remember (sketchy) from the late 80s was how parade-like it was, although I do recall some type 23 Bugattis duking it out.

Silver car - 250 GTO, I think. Was surprised the XKE was keeping up with the bizzaro GTO hatchback thing.

Anyone got $50K I can borrow?
