Does the $6,500 include the car?

agreed. Silver with red trim is just this side of vandalized.
@IronicalBalls: What do you mean? Japan didn't bother with the heavy, primitively suspended euro hatchback Civic. They had the 4-door sedan with multilink IRS just like ours. The Euro Civic was not particularly desirable. They didn't even get the helical LSD in their Type-R that we had in the Si.
@Duckferd: I drive a 2007 Si and love it. I've also driven a 2 liter S2000 a bunch of times, and it led me to consider the Civic in the first place. I like my 8k rpm red-line, and I love the characteristics of the K20. I too abhor hybridization and forced induction, but I'm curious to see if the 2.4 liter Si is…
Try reading what I wrote again. The point was that the SR5 AE86 wasn't a typical '80s Toyota, and it wasn't a big seller. There were a dozen FX and FX16s for every AE86, and 26 4door FWD sedans and 5door hatchbacks for every RWD AE86, and most of them had absolutely nothing to recommend them as cars for people who…
The car actually looks stimulated.
The AE86 is the Ferrari 250 GTO of Toyotas. There are more of them around today than there were when it was new. I knew one guy that bought one new. It was black with grey stripes and was the top of the line notchback with the 16 valve engine. It was a rarer car than the 280SL that it replaced. Today, people seem to…
The Detroit Police had to leave the scene for their SEIU-mandated break.
So you say the finish was rubbed down with fuel?
IIRC, the Chevy system had a continuous lap/shoulder belt that could be detached conventionally with a buckle at the console. Although the mounting position wasn't ideal for comfort or retention in an accident, at least you could use it as a regular seat belt. The VW system was pure garbage. Only the shoulder belt was…
Planned Obsolescence as practiced by the Germans means that all the toys they use to dazzle their lessors become dummy plugs after four years. Lessors respond by renting new German cars. I wonder how many bailout dollars wound up in the hands of leasing companies that pretended five year old BMWs would have residual…
The cracks are showing. Steering wheels falling off of Cruzes and the smoke escaping from Durangos makes it clear that the biggest leaps were made in marketing and government collusion.
Parity with Mercedes and Audi? Does that mean they'll start using electrical components assembled by glue sniffing monkeys?
On the positive side, he improved the car's looks considerably.
The news for me was that the place they're almost assembling these clunkers is Lordstown, the same Bolshevik mental institution where the Vega was badly built. Why on earth do they still try to make cars there?
You'd have to talk to cops. If they are finding that 100% of donk drivers are carrying coke while most street racers aren't using illegal drugs, then you don't have a point. Do street racers listen to techno and drop acid? Donk drivers really are involved with a variety of narcotics.
It looks like someone stuck a barbecue grill on their Mitsubishi Lancer.
The number of replies here that reveal a complete ignorance of physics is disturbing.
@MinardiGP: Ignorance isn't the word you're looking for.
