In all likelihood, he jumped.. Occam’s Razor and all. BUT... the “supposed wife” language makes me want to come up with outlandish theories! Suppose he killed an undocumented Asian migrant, brought the body with him on the flight, dumped it, then parachuted safely down. Now his wife gets him declared dead and they…

Inb4 everyone clamors for the highest voted commentariat suggestion AND what the buyer actually ended up with (with pics). I know that’s probably too much work to wrassle up for low-paid Jalop staff writers.. but I’m sure the readers would love it.

Reminds me of driving in Japan. At the time I was there, no matter what happened, you’re always at least partly liable. Even if your car is parked legally on the street and you’re 100s of miles away.. you’re still partly liable. Example: your parked car gets hit by someone... the logic was explained to me thusly: if…

It already looks like one

This looks like it was restomodded by some guy in his backyard, for about tree fiddy.  What a mess.

That is one helluva humble brag Torch.  Looking forward to the writeup.

Is this an expert troll?...

..with Tullock spikes installed in them

Ok I bit off on the headline.. after reading it I get it.

Ehhh.. the S550 may be porky compared to this or a Lotus or something, but I still consider it a sports car.  Yeah yeah.. “but it has a V8 and it’s heavy and its history all make it a muscle car!”  My ‘68 Charger R/T was most definitely a muscle car.  The most recent Mustang is not like that old boat... this one can…

Marker lights and signals are two very different requirements and sets of use cases

At a T-intersection, four-way stop, or roundabout you’re almost never at a point where you’re facing only the direct side of another car (like you’re gonna t-bone them) where you can’t see the front or back. It’s almost always at a diagonal and you can see the indicators. Even if the other car doesn’t have corner…

You can get a thinner seat cushion (or cut down yours), but you reportedly only get an extra 0.5" or so. There are no lower brackets to my knowledge; stock is about as low as you can go.

By looking at their indicators on the corners next to the headlights

You’re rather snarkily insinuating that car sales somehow prove whether a car is good or better or something... and having been here a while (and as an apparent Abarth fan) I’m surprised you’re putting blinders on like that.

This attitude is almost as bad as those people saying “if you don’t like the new Integra, you don’t like manual sportscars”. We can not like things.. it’s allowed. Especially if it’s a redo of a legendary model but it is now either a) built by a completely different company from another country and doesn’t offer a…

Classic “never meet your heroes”. Happened to me with the NA2 NSX, my high school hero car. What’s next is, you hone your dreams as the more mature person that you are now. I was heartbroken after meeting my hero.. but I moved on and found lots of fulfillment elsewhere.

Once you find a car you really like, it’s hard to let it go.  Applies to more than just 911s.  If this was truly his dream car (and that sounds hazy), he will immediately start looking for a better version of that same car after selling it.  And that’s fine.

Yeah.. so the horn in my car is surprisingly weak. While I wasn’t really considering putting a train horn in my car, and I don’t really want to support these idiots, what should I put in my car?..
