Thanks to all who pointed out the funky steering wheel hub. I was so mesmerized by the passenger airbag cover that I totally failed to notice that. That, along with the panoply of title changes, indicates that strange things are afoot at the Circle-K with this car.

You get a star for “scrumpled” lol

The 6MT coupes run about $18-25k and are relatively robust mechanically. The 6MT spyders are pretty rare and start around $25k for a no-stories, moderately well maintained driver, and just go up from there.

+5 for underrated Peter Jackson classic.

Don’t kid yourself, that is a Frightener trying to escape that airbag. Do you really want Jake Busey loose in your car? ND.

I can afford to keep a 20 y.o. Corvette on the road for another 20 years. This Maser would bankrupt me in 2 years. USA! USA! USA!

I like my cars to treat me badly. Says the BMW 850 owner

“Engine sounds amazing ,transmission shifts very good. Suspension and brakes are tight.”

This is like acquiring a Trophy Wife (or Husband, I don’t judge) with a 20-year difference in age. Great to look at, earns admiring looks from strangers and friends, fun to experience . . . but home life is one crisis after another.

I was the editor of Pontiac Enthusiast at the time and wrote the article, which appeared in the September/October, 1998 issue. The magazine, of course, is long out of print. I saw it on display at that year’s Ames Performance Pontiac Nationals and was intrigued by the workmanship and the “why” of even trying such a…

My mom had a Pontiac 6000 LE in white with an almost identical interior. It was an eminently forgettable car. The only memory I have of it is the time I borrowed it to drive 2 hours down to Windsor, ON where an old girlfriend of mine was getting rid of all her stuff in preparation to move to Japan to teach English. I…

Being featured in a magazine doesn’t convey any kind of trustworthiness. The assorted Girl Next Door features in various men’s magazines socked that point home; sure she looks okay in the right light with top notch photography equipment, but then you meet ‘em, talk to ‘em, dang. You wonder how they can afford to eat,…

I don’t think one drives a series of eclectic vintage cars because they hate them, but this is sounding a lot like Fox News-level griping (or I guess pick your sensational left-wing boogeyman) where anything other than fawning is unconditional hatred.

Glad the driver is alive and though it’s crazy just to see it, it’s the trailing dust plume that makes this looks comically crazier to me. It’s almost Thelma and Louise-ish.

first day on the internet?

IT’S GOOOOOOOD!!!!!

If you watch closely, she actually clips the lowest powerline. Good thing she wasn’t driving a Camry, which obviously would have been grounded.

Anyone wanna play guess that car?

Had the lady not started screaming like a maniac, dude might have just driven right into the impact area, and I’m guessing the roof of his truck probably wasn’t designed with that sort of collision in mind.

Extremely fortunate to land mostly nose down, we build most of the crumble zone to take an impact in that orientation, i would imagine flat landing on the wheels, or roof, would have been different results.
