Such a shame. The Lockheed Constellation was maybe the most beautiful plane ever made.

That first picture, that's kinda a big deal. Unless things have changed, that's literally all the flying P-38s there are. One is in Tillamook, the other lives in McMinnville at Evergreen, though they're about to sell it. Evergreen's is the one without the paint, I can't tell which one is Tillamook's.

Google Glass.... What's the point?

There is no universe I'm aware of in which this thing is worth $4000.

It's that "everything from the '70s and '80s is garbage by default" mindset.

How was it a POS? In 1987, it was a reliable, well-built, reasonably refined and decent-to-drive coupe.

Recommended your post mainly for your spot-on comment about sticks vs automatics. People, if you can't drive stick, you don't need a high-performance sports car. If you are that into the idea of getting one, well then surely you can take the time to learn stick.

Just look at how desperate they are!

Inline-5 Diesel El-Camino-style car in a fairly neutral colour...All it needs is a manual and it'd likely be one of the most Jalop cars ever!
