But with the exposure it’s already had and a story that comes with extensive video documentation, once rebuilt to any measure of roadworthiness, it will eventually be a much more tempting package for shrewd investors to buy than ‘generic wrecked hypercars’ with gaps in their history and ‘expert’ repairs you can’t see…

If I had the time, space and energy I’d part it out for all those bits and pieces that don’t have VW numbers and expect a reasonable return on that 20k

Thank you. I was waiting for someone to check it’s background. This happens all the time with gauge replacements, except they usually don’t add (or multiply!) mileage. I’m happy to know that there are still people who went the other way for comedic effect.

Why bother asking. It’s going to be one of Elon’s products, with an ICE V-8 added as per customer’s wishes.

Mr.Diesel’s abstinence from food broken with a cheap frozen (sort of) pizza?

I would say it all depends whether they’re trying to pass you or if you yourself are the emergency

It might not be Nissan’s investment. Klipsch and other subcontractors may develop the technology and shop it around, and Infiniti might be the company that bit on it first. Just speculating.

Not defending a sloppy worker, but that’s got to be a mind-numbing job.

I envy. I had to pry my mother’s 85 year old hands from the keys to her Buick skylark that my aunt was too scared to ride in anymore. I sold it to a neighbor’s kid who immediately slapped a bumper sticker on it that read “Don’t laugh, your daughter may be in here”.

I was about to post Corvair, since Porsche opportunities may be rare and VWs are usually too slow to be dangerous. Everyone should get two chances to experience the thrill of trailing throttle oversteer, first by acting instinctively and braking, and then by powering through it. 

Given the cult worship of the Land Cruiser, I’ve wondered why Nissan never promoted the Patrol for the US market. Was it even federalized and sold here?

or don’t exist and never did

I’d wear pockets without the shorts if I could. You can never have enough.

usually ‘former’ stars

doubt they could find the word fact in a dictionary

thought of posting something similar, since...haven’t we all. Makes me wonder how much collective energy we - as a diverse community of gearheads and car shoppers - devote to website configurators and whether that can be harnessed to accomplish anything

try spraying them with cheap paint first...nobody wants their Recaros to be sticky and splotchy 

After learning about trailing throttle oversteer the hard way and wrecking Mom’s Corvair, I was sentenced to driving her replacement Vega for a few months in my teens. Despite it’s failings and flaws, which were present from day one to it’s early demise, it did handle well (compared to every barge I had driven to that…

Manual steering was a feature in every car, truck and motorcycle I’ve ever driven

a training exercise?
