Same here, I could do without all the racer boy paint, but the overall thing is kinda cool.  I also like that it shows you can make a truck that doesn't have the top of the hood 5 feet off the ground and the roof 7 feet.

More Stralia…than Murica. 

I like this way more than I should, but I don’t $20k like it. Smyth was the outfit that was doing the New Beetle and old Jetta conversions, and have been doing these for some time, and the work looks damn good, I hate to admit. I just couldn’t see myself paying that amount for this though. Reluctant ND.

Can it tow the hillbilly wakeboard boat in today’s other sad article to the next Trump parade or is it just good for hauling natty light and meth?

This looks better than it has any right to, although the bed feels a bit industrial, and the OCD among us won’t like how the taillights are offset from the black stripe on the gate. But it’s still a Charger under there, and that’s too much money for the miles on it. ND.

So someone imported it to CA knowing it can’t be registered there? Wouldn’t it be cheaper for an interested would-be buyer to find one in the UK and ship it over themselves, cutting out the flipper?

Easy Crack Pipe. Near 30 grand for a 30 year old Volkswagen. The miles are low but not low enough, you have to drive on the wrong side of the car and you don’t get AC. All that for the benefit of a slightly larger engine and no electronic seatbelts. They’ll get maybe low 10s for from a big VW guy out of state.

I’ve seen a few of these around me. They’re baller and this has got to be a much better way to play the “appear wealthier than you really are” game than by buying another basket case Maserati Quattroporte.

True, but if I had this, I would be living in fear of the day the I needed to renew registration and somebody at the DMV said, “Wait a minute, WTF is this thing and why is it here?” The fact that the ad is so light on details about its immigration status doesn’t reassure me.  At best, it seems like it will be an…

Oh HELL no!!!

Were these cars cool when they came out?

...wait, just a few paragraphs earlier you told us Made in Germany was preferred. Make up you mind, dude!

Hmm... no license plate, overly wordy CL ad... really looks like a dealer attempting to sell something off lot. I’m a ND just for that. That’s probably also why the seller doesn’t seem to understand where the car was built. Though I’d guess we’d see a bunch of “’Merica F’Yeah!!” all over the ad if they knew it was…

I was going to No Dice this just on the fact that seller didn’t take out the dirty carpet cover(?) or clean passenger footwell, or take a few minutes to polish the headlights before asking a premium price for his car.

The ingredients for the kind of person we know this guy probably is are all here: Lives in Phoenix- the Florida of the west. Check. Chevy Silverado in the garage. Check. Making lame comments about it not being made in China, which is just plain stupid. I’d bet money this is a generic, trump-supportin’ white dude who…

Too much for a car with all those miles. Plus the CL ad has all those dealer/broker keywords at the bottom so you just know this ins’t an easygoing car-guy looking to sell his car to another enthusiast – dollars to donuts he’s a insufferable jerk that “knows what he’s got” and there’s a FJB sticker on the back of that…

As a university professor, I will say that teaching undergraduate snotlings is never repetitive because every year those beasts find new and inventive ways to make life frustrating. It’s like driving an Alfa.

It’s not gone. The listing expired, probably due to it being priced a bit too high.

As much as I want NP this, especially being a ZJ owner, I just can’t get there. I think I’d actually be more inclined to if it were at least one year newer with OBD2 management. I know, many prefer the earlier stuff, but diagnostics can be difficult without specialized tooling. And this is not a 5.9 Limited, this is…
