Following up on this - I found the following from a book Darwin Spitfires by Anthony Cooper, describing the experiences of Australian pilots during the war:

Yeah, it’s cool, but he still shouldn’t have put $4000 down on it.

That’s really a bad example with this guy. $4k buys a perfectly reliable used commuter car. No reason to be spending $20+k. Did he not see 25% and not faint? Look at the interest payment and decide to maybe go look at $4k used cars?

This guy gets it

If you are in a jam and really need a car, go to craigslist, set max price to whatever you have in savings, and search “Honda” and be done with it.

$4000 buys you a very decent old car in cash to get you through for a while. Sucks for the dude, but come on. This is just as much on the buyer as anyone else. People need to get over their desire for non-basic transportation. Sure it’s nice to have nice stuff but we can’t always have that. Sometimes you need to…

4,000 will buy you a perfectly suitable used commuter car. You don’t need a big fancy truck when your trying to get back on your feet. Sounds like the cycle just repeats itself.

This is reductionist sillyness.

I am convinced Ferrari is a just vile company. I don’t have the money to, but if I did, I’d never buy one. Porsche’s cars are as good to drive for far less money, McLaren’s have better performance, and Lamborghini builds better supercars.

To be fair Elon managed to achieve exactly what he wanted...

Your cornflakes must be extra pissy this morning.

I’m just confused by the article title as it looks like the real piece of scrap metal is the GM van under the pipe.

You’re asking why people get bent out of shape about something as inconsequential as fake vents, on a site populated by knuckle-draggers championing outdated technology (e.g. “Save the Manuals”) and lamenting the eventual application of enclosed cockpits in F1 racing?

It’s important to mention that this is an ‘84-85 model from after the mid-cycle refresh.

Turned the phone horizontally?

Am I wrong?
