I'm just dying to know what happened to that lawn tractor. Damn thing looks like it *almost* stayed on the trailer. Well, initially anyway...

Cool. I'm just overwhelmed with the desire to scream, "Shift! Shift!" as he bangs off the rev limiter though. *shrugs* No biggie though, it's his car. Bang away, and color me jealous.

LOL, well it wasn't quite "new'. I bought it in October 2011 and it was sold in April 2009. So it was about a year and half old AND, more importantly to me, had suffered that 1 1/2 years of new car depreciation. It stickered at $33k but I didn't pay anywhere near that.

Thanks. lol Being a "car guys" runs in our family. My grandfather was, my dad was, I am.. and, of course, my son is as well. I told my wife if he was born and it turns out he wasn't a gear head, I was going to track down our old mailman. lol

I checked this morning, the bids are up to $9,951 USD but, unfortunately, his reserve hasn't yet been met. I added this car to my watch list on eBay because I'm really interested, in light of the generally spirited conversations here at Jalop about it's value, in what it finally does (or doesn't) sell for and…

Ya know what? You ARE right. I get a little cranky in the afternoons and, in re-reading my post after your comment pointed this out, I was indeed a little harsh. Basically, what it boils down to is the car is worth exactly what someone will pay for it. Not a penny more or less.

OH yeah, me likey. *thumbsup*

Although from admittedly more than a few years ago, having several of my friends screwed royally by Hennessey when he was doing mostly Corvettes, my personal opinion of the guy is fairly low and I'd never give him a dollar of my money. With that said, I'd trip an old lady down a flight of stairs to get that car in my…

Hey, I think it's funny because I had an '01 Camaro SS that had those exact same wheels and that was my first thought when I saw them too. Well, not the *exact* same wheels... mine were CHROME baby! (...but, in my defense, they were also fitted with DOT legal drag radials. you know, for the occasional, ummm, err,…

The boy's car on the day we were buying it. Kids. He's sitting in the background, both he and his girlfriend (at the time... he doesn't keep them long, lol) texting, I think. Although, in his defense, on that day he was texting and tweeting pics of his new ride to pretty much every living, breathing soul on the…

Thing is, this seller doesn't want $8k for it. There's one bid at 8 thousand that doesn't meet the seller's reserve. Time will tell but who knows WHAT the reserve is set at, and then after that the buyer can figure out *why* the seller apparently won't try and start it vaguely stating it "turns over freely" after he…

2009 RX8 R3, Velocity Red Mica. That's what I bought my boy for his first car. Which was a little ironic considering his mother drove a '93 RX7 R1 the entire time she was pregnant with him. Watching her waddle down into that car (and better back out) when she was 9 months along was HIII-larious. lol I see the…

You sir, are correct. Seems like everyone you saw was red/black/black. It's funny you say that, when I was typing my reply I thought the same thing. "My Miata"... red black black. Yeah buddy, you couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit a red Miata. lmao

Oh, and it's hardly "showroom quality" or whatever he tries to lead off the ad with. Scratches, dented fender, plastic rear window with bad spots, tires are dry rotted (along with most of the other rubber I'm sure) all to hell AND... what's this bullshit about "I only pulled the plugs and put marvel mystery oil in…

That is SO cool. I remember when those came out, my wife and I were just recently married, no kids and we wanted one of them so bad. Of course they were ALL priced with "ADP" on the sticker for thousands over MSRP sooooo, no Miata for us. I refused to pay over sticker. This car is probably the result of some…

Words of wisdom right there. Which was the point of Patrick's article. It's all about the sound.

Hey I did the same thing as a kid. Lmao. Maybe that's what it is now, karma biting me in the ass for the sins of the 6 year old me. Hehehehe

Exactly, nothing better than a lightly trafficked "driving road". Preach it brother!

Hey, don't get your panties in a wad, I wasn't insulting you OR "your car" if you drive one. Hell, I like 'em. I liked them new and I like them more now for the value they bring to the table. But, like them or not, they flopped. Period. Did they flop because of styling? Seems to be the popular consensus. I…

There are a lot of fleeting moments everyday that give me pause to realize all that I have and that I shouldn't be bitching about things that absolutely don't matter. Thanks for pointing that out... For most of us.
