@Almostbanned: Me too. Pretty pathetic when every mention of that car evokes memories of a sitcom as bad as MWC.

Reading the ad, he obviously thinks it's worth $7k, but that must be due to the CRACKPIPE that was obviously clutched between his teeth as he wrote the ad.

Want, badly. But it just wouldn't do to move that thing to the midwest, with no garage space... So I'll be content with Murilee's photos, and cry just a little inside.

Good God, what did they do to that poor thing? Talk about extreme weight-saving measures...

@timtoolman: Or maybe the Republicans will offer to buy one for Barry. I'd pitch in.

@Naturally Exasperated: First though when I saw that photo was, "Where's the SLR Guy hat?" It will be done before the day is out.

@Elhigh: Maybe, but what fun you'd have doing it!

I'd rather have the new limo.

@Deartháir: a Cruder, Fart-Joke Version of graverobber: Wow. Truly a terrible horrible no-good very bad day.

@scrubnick: Now sights like that get snapped by the nearest cell phone(s) and stuck up on the interwebs for guys like us to make fun of.

@Mike Delozier: I was thinking along those same lines; if this dentist can afford hardware like that, maybe his pricing should undergo a little scrutiny.

I read C&D slavishly back in my junior high & high school days, then figured out that the writing and the content they provided was pretty pedestrian compared to other car mags. Things haven't changed much in 20-some years, nor with new leadership (and I use that term loosely.)

@joshman - chasing that star: Just ask someone working graphics at a print shop; in ours, a whopping ~5 percent of files coming from customers are built in InDesign. Quark, awful as it might be, still reigns.

Hey look; they can sell it in any country without messing with the steering wheel position. Just as awful for right- or left-on-side driving.

@lowercase: Amen. Sounds like exactly what happened to me last summer. Driving down I90 through SD, doing my usual 8-10mph over, I'm almost past a slower moving tandem trailer truck, when this jacka$$ in a Jetta comes flying up behind me doing 90-something, and parks about 5 feet from my bumper. He's flashing his…
