Well, the normal SLK55 might not be ranked among the top “drivers cars” but the AMG version was a good effort from Mercedes to up the fun quotient a bit. The SLK55 AMG has a normally aspirated V8 with 355 HP and 376 ft-lbs of torque and while there was no manual transmission option, it was mated to a nice …
Yes, in little Missoula Montana we get some very rare and exotic cars. Here is a perfect example. There are very few of the legendary McLaren F1’s in existence, but look what showed up in our little town. The F1’s used a BMW sourced V12 for power and were the premier poster car for years! The F1 held the record …
This car actually showed up in our local neighborhood. It is a beautiful 1966 Chevrolet Corvette. This car is a 427/390hp car with a manual 4-speed transmission. We talked briefly with the owner who has owned it for the past 40 years or so. The car has one repaint on it but the white interior is all original. It is …
We happened to be up in Glacier National Park and came across this 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray, which was a unique sighting because the Stingray is not in production yet and this was a preproduction car out and about.

This is a 2008 Porsche Cayman S that we have seen a few times around and we caught it here on a rainy Missoula day. I have talked to the owner of this car before, but that was back when he owned his BMW M6, which he got rid of when he picked up this Cayman. I actually know this …
I stumbled upon this gem while on my daily stroll. I have seen it a few times and it is a good looking British classic. I do not know a lot about Triumphs beyond the TR-7 my mom owned for a few months during which time the electronics managed to melt down… These cars were produced from 1953 – 1955. …
Most Mercedes-Benz cars do not make it onto our radar, but we have to admit some of their AMG cars are probably worth mentioning. We stumbled upon this fine example of a SL55 AMG. While the SL series can be a bit heavy, the SL55 AMG does at least have a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 with 510 hp and 531 …
