It was behind the times upon introduction.

I’ve seen these things at an annual alt fuel car show they used to have in Santa Monica, and even 10 years ago they seemed behind the times. It’s a sad little car that was worlds away from the Teslas, Leafs, Volts and Honda Clarities designed to drag us into our oiless future. It looked like the ignored entry from…

It’s in the Bay Area. So it’s at least worth something to someone to tinker with. A technical college or high school, perhaps?

I read the CL ad and noticed this gem: “Not actual miles on this mr2".  Massive ND. 

As a fan of the 1960s TV show The FBI*, I should be all in with this car. Unfortunately, the $8,000 price tag + $God-knows-much in repair and restoration costs keep it off my Most Wanted list.

I think DMV is just sort of a catchall since that what they use on TV.  Where I live, it’s the DOL, but everyone calls it the DMV.

Tid bit of information, New Mexico calls it MVD not DMV. Don't know why.

God, no.

I have a 2011 Cayenne Turbo, almost this cars clone. (Also purchased in San Francisco) In 2019 I paid $38,000 and it had 87,000 miles. 

CNG tanks also need to be replaced every 10 years or so.

Choices were made. They weren't good ones. ND.

Yeah, I could almost get there if it was just kind of ratty survivor, instead of a survivor of bad choices.

If you keep it far from road salt or significant moisture, the rust should be a slow burn. And the interior looks nice. But I wouldn’t want to drive around in (or have to explain) somebody else’s joke. I’d want to restore it, and for that, the price of entry needs to be far less.

Some of those sticker appear just to be for “things I like” and a lot of them are just highway stickers. You could get several stickers on a trip.  The nation is “only” around 3,000 miles across. I don’t know why you would have to criss-cross it 100 times to visit that many places.

I think ‘captured’ is a bit strong. More like the Japanese found and recovered it.

rockers and cab corners intact don’t happen around here in Hellinois either

Probably the easiest Nice Price vote I have seen in this series.  I have no room in my driveway, but I would consider it if I saw it posted.  

I love single cab work trucks. My daily driver is a tacoma work truck. Hand crank windows, no key fob, manual tranny. No cruise control or even intermittent windshield wipers. There’s nothing to break.

That would be a hell of a bargain here in Ohio, much less in California - NP all day long...

That price around here is getting you something with see-through rocker panels...

Durable engine and transmission plus few electric geegaws. NP
