Man, I’m seeing a lot of EV-1 in that first picture:

“Insane durability and low running cost” aren’t really why you buy collector cars, though. It’s why you give your kid a 5 year old honda Civic for his high school graduation.

It’s kind of a crazy market right now, and it depends a lot on the sort of car you’re shopping for. A 3 year old used Lexus ES300h with some 50K miles is going to save you anywhere from $15k to $20k over a new model. That’s not chump change. But if you’re looking at, say, a Touring trim Honda Civic, you’re only…

New cars these days are for two types of people:

Meh, I’m OK with this. Front-engined, expensive sports-cars are kind of Aston’s calling card. They shouldn’t try to out-Ferrari Ferrari. Aston does a very good job of showing that you can build a front-engined, rear-wheel drive two seater that’s every bit as jaw dropping as the offerings of other exotic car…

This really should lead to a “Talladega Nights” sequel.

There’s always a club for this...

All I can think of when I look at that car is Tesla’s Cyber Truck.

Years ago I rescued a heron with a broken wing. Brought it into the car, and it kept pecking at my forehead with its pointy beak (I wasn’t driving). When we got to the animal sanctuary, I was dripping blood down my face, LOL. Really lucky he didn’t peck an eye out.

At one point in the video either Harry or Tyrrell mentions that the restoration took 600 hours. So that’s probably at least $100k in labor alone. This sort of thing only makes sense because Countach’s are now half-million dollar cars.

I once read the fine print of a car ad that noted that the advertised price included $2000 for your trade-in, military discount and customer loyalty (i.e. repeat customer) discount. But adding an $1800 “reconditioning fee” on top of the advertised price is just scummy. It’s a shame that most states don’t have consumer…

At city speeds, colliding with small obstacles, this approach WOULD protect the occupants...

Holocaust denialism isn’t illegal (in the U.S.) either, but that doesn’t excuse a Social Media site that allows it. So go fuck yourself Elon Musk, and may Twitter be reduced to the largely irrelevant smoldering pile of White Nationalist hate you seem to want it to be. $44 billion up in smoke.

Older cars were designed to be safe by surviving collisions as intact as possible

Exactly. You can probably source a used transmission for $250... and when that one dies, find another one to throw in for $175.

Nice price. I would drive this car ironically... like, a lot!

At what point does middle-America come to realize that the “anti-woke” movement is simply what the the white-supremacist Alt-Right morphed into?

I’m sure there’s absolutely no risk in buying a 12 year old BMW that originally sold for $130,000 and now goes for less than 1/10th that price.

Building emulators is not illegal. Bundling those emulators with copyrighted game ROMs is... but these comapnies still do it, LOL.

The car in the picture actually looks pretty close in color to the Corona I’m drinking, right now...
