We purchased this car from a dealer up North, they were advertsing the car as retail ready. We made an offer on the car and were surprised when a month or so later our offer was accepted, oh little did we know. When we received the car, the first thing we noticed was the bad shrinkage to the upper dash and dash pod. The came the engine check light, then the missing tools, then the missing Tonneau cover for the convertible top. We started the car and tried to operate the convertible top, not surprisingly this didn't go to well, not too much of an issue, quite normal in the 355, just replace the seat potentiometer and re calibrate the roof. We took the car to the Independent specialist we always use to have these few things taken care of. Well, about an hour went by and I get a phone call from the technitian to go back, he needs to show me some other issues he has noticed. This is where the list starts, he has immediately noted that the cambelts which were supposed to have been changed recently looked terribly worn and deteriorated and there was obvious corrosion on the tensioners, a sign that the major service hadn't been done for quite sometime. He had also noted that the radiators on either side were leaking, the bottoms were quite badly corroded and the seams were letting fluid by. Putting the car on the computer to check the clutch, which incidentally was supposed to have been replaced at the same time the service was carried out, the result, clutch was 100% worn, now the computer is only accurate to + or - 5% and that is why the car would still drive, but not for long. On checking the cause of the engine check light we find that both Catalytic Converters were well below efficiency. (We later determined that one Catalytic Converter was completely empty and the other had remnants of the precious metals rattling around). We have since, done the complete Cambelt service with all Fluids and Tensioner's and Bearings, replaced the Clutch, replaced both Radiators, replaced both Catalytic Converters, had the both the Dash and Dash Pod recovered with leather, purchased a complete Tool kit and New Tonneau Cover. You might be asking yourself what the point of this story is, well my point is that when some dealers say "Retail Ready" and describe a car as "a Really Nice 355" that is not Black Horse Motors "Retail Ready" or a Black Horse Motors "Really Nice 355". My point, we may be towards the higher end of pricing on our cars, but our cars are at the very highest quality they can be, we don't sell cars that need anything. If a retail customer had purchased this car from the dealer in Illinois, they obviously wouldn't have purchased the car at wholesale, then the value of the work we have had carried out would be close to a retail value over $20,000. A Buyer could easily be into this car for over $80,000 maybe more. Save yourself time, stress and a whole lot of money, buy from Black Horse Motors and enjoy your car, not let her sit in a service shop all summer when you could be having a blast. We sold her Summer 2013 to a gentleman in the Daytona area of Florida who enjoyed her for about 700 miles and then decided because nof his age a new Corvette would be better for him to drive.

In addition to wonderful cinematography and a keen eye for style, Petrolicious has a knack for showing that cars can bring families together. Whether Nissan fans, classic rally racers or a trio of BMW 5 Series drivers, the series often proves that automobiles can have meaning beyond just as a heap of mechanical parts. The latest video keeps that theme going with a 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona that connects a father and son. Matthew Lange's dad bought his Daytona in 1974 as a company car and certainly didn't let it waste away in the garage. His father put over 30,000 miles on the Pininfarina-designed coupe in just the first few years. Then, when Matthew turned 30, his dad gave him the Ferrari to enjoy. Today, it still gets used regularly and is likely going to the next generation of the family eventually. Even if the father/son story doesn't grab you, there are few things in the automotive pantheon that sound better than a V12 Ferrari. Lange even takes a run through the gears to let Petrolicoius record the wonderful engine sing.

It seems like automakers have been clamoring to get on board with Formula E lately. In just the last few weeks a number of manufacturers have either become more directly involved, or otherwise announced entry into the series in coming years. That includes Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, with the latter two abandoning other series to join the electric one. Now, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne says his company might join Formula E as well, according to Motorsport. Previously, Marchionne had toyed with the idea of bringing Ferrari into the Formula E field, but now says that would be unlikely. Instead, he thinks an FCA brand would be a better fit, perhaps Alfa Romeo or Maserati. At the moment, Maserati seems like the best fit, as Marchionne just announced that the brand would electrify its entire lineup after 2019, with each car it sells having either a hybrid or electric powertrain. Fans would probably be excited to see Maserati return to racing, and Formula E would be a good test laboratory for the development of electric propulsion technology. Still, another brand could represent FCA in Formula E, and apply the knowledge learned there to its vehicles, as Marchionne says half of the FCA fleet will be electrified by the end of the company's five-year plan ending in 2022. Marchionne said that while Ferrari won't be directly involved, he doesn't know which FCA brand – Alfa Romeo, Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat, or Maserati – would enter. As interesting as an electric Dodge race car would be, it seems unlikely, especially because of, well, Maserati. We're hoping it's Jeep, though.

Lego cars are among our favorite toys. They're fun for play, and if built properly, great to display. With that in mind, we've crafted a list of some of the best creations we've seen. Some are on sale now, while others are merely the work of fanciful enthusiasts. There are even a couple that you definitely cannot buy (we'll explain). Our choices are diverse, including everything from a diminutive 1969 Chevy Corvette to a fullsize Ferrari Formula One racecar. These are just five projects that caught our eye - there are many more out there - so if you don't see your favorite Lego car on the list (or if you have your own creation), please tell us about it, in Comments.
