According to the owner, who purchased it in 2023, it’s very easy to drive and very easy to go fast, but it’s also apparently scary as all hell.

Same. In Puerto Rico, I nearly got a refrigerator to the face when the pickup I was behind reached a steep hill. The fridge slid back, hit the tailgate, and briefly escaped the iron grip of gravity.  Fortunately, my refusal to be directly behind a truck carrying anything saved my bacon.

That’s pretty crazy, but certainly wildly-random enough of a thing that I don’t need to add it to my list of potentially-crippling fears and anxieties. We have enough to worry about with Trump’s cabinet pics. 

Seems the difference is a human says “hmmm, those bright flashing lights are making it hard for me to see, I’ll slow down” and a Telsa says “No idea what that is, best not to worry about it”.

Hope that isn’t financed with Federal grants.

A BMW 6 and and a manual in a small, light car? That’s a tough combo to dismiss. The miles are a tad high for comfort, but the condition of the car speaks volumes. NP from me. 

I’m calling this NP, or at least within negotiating distance. It looks pretty straight and rust free. The glass is clear and not cracked, and the trim seems to all be there.

He knows a guy that builds auto plants. Name is John. No last name. All he does is build auto plants. No other buildings. He’s got a PhD in auto plant building. Not many people know you can get a degree in that. Too specific they say. I don’t know about that. But I do know John is very smart. Not as smart as me.…

I get the historical/economic significance of K cars, I really do, but I maintain, in contrast to what Lee said about them, they weren’t cars you wanted to buy—they were the cars you had to buy (if you didn’t want Japanese) because they were cheap and plentiful. Growing up with these things almost turned me off of…

This is huge, it’s like comparing a normal Eurovan to one of the camper ones. People who are into this kind of thing are REALLY into the special camper versions, not as much with the normal ones.

You have to consider this one has a factory camper top, none of the Cars&Bids, BAT or Cars From Japan comps have this so i’m inclined to think it’s a rare option.

He’s right though. As cars become more like appliances, less and less soulful cars will exist.

Wonders never cease.  I wonder what the Venn diagram of “Craigslist car shoppers” and “M8 shoppers” looks like.  Probably just two circles.

Hate to see them go but nothing lasts forever.  Even though Clarkson proved to be a massive knob, there will probably never be a trio of hosts that top these guys.

It’s almost like you didnt even read the article

Sooo .. an EV Boxster:

Weight going from 3000 to 3600 ... a BIG deal
EV sounds ... a BIG deal
Complaining about manuals .. in a Porsche .. because of city driving. Right.
Complaining about sportscar mileage in a city .. you’re not using it right
Talking about how useful a 2 seater convertible is regarding storage space ..…

Old locomotives respond well to a little tender loving and care...

“If Electric is so good, how come people have such trouble with Battery? AA, AAA, C, bing bong bing, if Battery good, how come you have have to charge them, charge them, they charge too much for a battery. I went, I went to the store for Battery, and when I saw Price, I said, I said, I said ‘Price too much!’ Battery…

Low miles, the top goes down, AND a stick? Provided it's not rusty underneath (it's in NJ, after all), sign me up!!

Riding bicycles is incredibly fucking dangerous
