I want to give this a chance, but this looks like a nightmare to find parts for and you have to explain to car guys what it is.  I would love to own a lotus, but not the only fwd one. I feel that puts you adjacent to the guy who owns a 4 cylinder 80s Camaro who talks about how rare it is.  

I feel less bad about what happened to Saab during the recession after seeing this.  I think people have gone before tribunals for worse things than making a car like that fwd.

I remember in an article in Mopar action years ago had an article about a car that has been converted. The kit didn’t do much and it sounded like you basically cut the car in half lengthwise to convert the car. I have always wanted to build a tube chassis rwd Aries myself and bolt the body panels on like a stock car. …

This is the sort of behavior I have on I love. On my Hemi Ram, If I have slight stutter or it fells slightly different than I think it should and I’m going through and doing all the plugs, cleaning the throttle body, checking the EGR to find what isn’t perfect. Some day when I die the museum quality 2006 Ram no one…

Not a caption, but if he didn’t light that with his boring company flame thrower, what the hell is he doing all this stuff for. Seriously, Joe “ Got a light?” Elon nonchalant “Yeah, I think I have something”, looks at camera and pulls out flame thrower. 

I just can’t love the ranger. I grew up with 2 different Dakotas and an xj Jeep, my cousins had S10s and Blazers and I still see them on the road. I rarely 80s rangers in the road anymore.  I just never got the appeal.

I think this is a rational opinion.  If it's not yours, respect the owner by not touching it.  It doesn't matter if it's a beater Civic, or a show car.  It's common decency.

It’s 4wd and runs, which where I live usually means it’s worth at least two grand.  If the seller is legit, easy nice price.  It just seems too nice for the price.  I think it's one of those deals where I would call and the moment things started to feel sketchy walk away.

In a few years we will need an aerial shot, forward a decade and its a screenshot from google maps.

They also make part of their money selling the used cars through their dealer network, so I don’t see this panning out for them. In a year or two when their used cars hit the market and have depreciated, and perhaps demand for midsize cars continues to flatline, they are stuck with some serious losses.

Well, when Ford starts tweeting calling people who saved trapped children pedophiles, fails to deliver on most every deadline they set and starts delivering cars with panel gaps that make 90s Hyundai blush they will be back in the news

Those aren’t enthusiasts, they are armchair racecar drivers. 340hp on a course or on the road is enough power to get you into trouble, but not so much that it's unforgiving.  

People complain non stop about the Miata power as well as the BRZ and it's Toyota twin.  They are wrong, but everyone seems to compare sports cars to a hellcat and misses the point.

At a car show it’s not a bad strategy. Some of the owners if you show any interest will talk your ear off.

That’s what I taught for passing too, it leaves enough space for you to brake without getting rear ended. I think spacially, a lot of people think the car ends just behind thier seat.

You are operating under the assumption it will be a lesson.  I swear a fair number of people keep repeating the same mistakes and either think they have terrible luck or people are out to get them.

Who needs cruise control when you live life one stoplight at a time?

I think it really depends on the car since every car has different strengths and weaknesses. On my vehicles I always enjoy a different muffler so it has a nice rich sound. I have done engine swaps and extensive suspension work but honestly a good sounding exhaust makes me want to turn off the radio, roll down the…

Came to say spark plugs and wires, almost any used car I have bought had some spark plugs that were way overdue to be changed.

There near foot of rollout also makes the times difficult to replicate.
