Cheaper than a new Miata, safer than a motorcycle, plus you get to tinker with it all the time. Perfect midlife crisis car.

You’re talking about a guy who built a hoverbike with whirling metal propellers and straddled it wearing a tie.

And he’s incredibly fun to watch :)

He doesn’t use safety equipment in any of his videos, I get the feeling that what you see isn’t an act, the guy is an absolute maniac, haha

I took a look at his vids about making this thing. He’s got skills.

I see you also bought a 3 day supply of soy sauce. 👍

Looks like my car (2001 Golf 2dr TDI) when I make my monthly run to Sam’s. And yes, while you can’t see it, there is about 10lbs of Wrights thick sliced bacon in there!

If you are gonna roll coal, roll real coal.

I have to agree. I loved my 2010 TDI Golf but it was hard to pass up a $15K offer on a 6 year old car. I loved getting 40MPG while doing 80MPH, filling up only once a week despite my long commute, and torque. Oh, the torque! My only complaint, a big complaint, really, which is really why I sold it back, was the…

It’s not like getting it fixed would have left them with no cash.

It’s also not like getting it fixed would have ruined the car.

They fell to hype, made a rash decision to get rid of a car, and are…

Compensating much?

Did both cars are sharing the same plates? That’s interesting.

It’s not Soviet either.

Leave that troll alone, anyone who wants to swap engines in this is a retarded inbred.... the engine is the best part of this car....

The Russian-language manual and the “MMZh” plate suffix definitely scream USSR government spec, though not necessarily KGB. According to Russian Wiki, these Tatras were delivered to the USSR for “KGB needs, militia (police) use in large cities, and for mid-level bureaucrats who were better than a Volga GAZ-24 but not…

I’ll do the math for you if you’ve got baseline info!

I don’t know man. That sounds like it involves math, and I don’t like math.

I would love it if each year we could see a recap list of 1) the biggest NP wins, 2) the biggest CP losses, and 3) the closest wins/losses

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s a similar cohort.
