I think a Pontiac G8 GT fits the bill for what Andrew wants. (I'd pick that for me) American, available stick shift, decent handling for twisties, space for a car-seat.

C/P. Dude should know you never recover your investment when selling a vehicle. Even if these do go for quite a bit, don't understand why though.

This was some seriously funny shit to watch.... Of course I laugh maniacally whenever I get a chance to run over traffic cones, so I'm easily amused.

Hell No... who knows what kind of unspeakable acts have happened inside of this thing?! Now if the interior were stripped out, steam-cleaned and re-upholstered and the price dropped, and the exterior was stripped, steam-cleaned and re-painted in something that wouldn't get me arrested for violating city decency laws.…

IMHO part of the stellar reputation BMW has lies in the fact that most automotive publications only test and review brand new cars provided to them from factory reps and only for a few days. Sure, some cars get to stay on for a year or so in the long term test fleets, but the fact that they rarely have a car for more…

Maybe if someone knows Noel Gugliemi they can ask the guy what car he was pointing at?

this one's pretty cool.

It does rain in Phoenix. It’s called monsoon season, starts next month or so.

Sorry, I know it's technically not set in the near future, but I still thinks it's totally future cool.

$3800.00 without the Momo steering wheel??!! Crack pipe I say! Maybe if he left it in I'd be ok with paying that amount....

By the looks of this thing, I'd say it's been sittin in their backyard for 20 of the 25 years they've owned it. Someone decided to get it running again and see if they can make a few bucks off it. Maybe for 4 or 5K, but 12K? CP

Berlin, Sounds like your salesman was about as helpful as dog shit on the bottom of the soles.

I get the gut feeling the seller is just a car flipper. Probably bought it for about a a grand, cleaned it up some and now wants to triple his profit.

It's an interesting project. Seems well thought-out and executed, but it's still someone else's project.
