Bob Lutz politics may stink but he is a fully accredited car nut. The article is great. But the point of the article is that we surely should be able to find a car nut under 78. But then Tazio Nuvolari drove the Mexican road race at 65. He didn’t win. But he was a contender. The joke about Lutz taking a Cadillac to a race track was a good one. He did. The value of it is that it all seems so unlikely. Just think how old Carol Shelby is. I can remember seeing Carol drive a borrowed Lister Jaguar at the Bossier City, La. races in the early 60’s. If I remember right the Lister was borrowed from Jim Hall of Chapparal fame. Jim drove a birdcage Maserati. Men’s bodies get old. Their heart and soul shouldn’t. Once a car nut always a car nut.

Bob Lutz should take on Chuck Norris-like meme status amongst automotive sites…

It’s appropriate that boblutz has a granite complexion – that’s the same material he used when he invented the wheel.

Seriouzly Justin… it’s like you don’t even know what you are saying, and making it up as you go.

tom s and Allyn know whats up… Bowb Leutz knows cars. In fact I believe he was the driver behind the wheel of the Marmon Wasp that won Indy

Justin, re: your cars…the person responsible for those cars deserves an award named after themselves!

For Justin–check out the products Bob Lutz has had a hand in developing, then decide if you think he’s had “…nothing do to with these great American-made cars”

@Justin, what kind of ‘ring time could you get out of the G8?

@tom s:
I have never heard of him and I have been an American car fan for 30+ years. He just seems like a regular old dude to me. I am a real car expert — I have had a Dodge Viper, Merkur XR4ti, and now a Saturn Astra and Pontiac G8 GT. Bob Lotz or whoever had nothing to do with these great American-made cars!

Anybody know who this guy is? Been around GM for years and made them famous, especially Chevrolet with their high performance division. If he says he can do it, just watch, he’s a god.
