i mean .. there’s goodbye for now ... and then there’s goodbye forever ... i’m not judging anybody’s hugs I have no idea anything about their life!

They’re for rich former hippies in CA who aren’t off the drugs enough to realize that they’re paying $70k for an interior no better than a $30k Taos. For that kind of money you could convert a real, old VW bus to EV or just buy a gas one and a real car.

It’s one of those NP for $10k. But if you’re buying this car, you’re not buying it to be your daily. Which means the reason you’re buying this car will allow some room for spending a little bit more than you should and be alright with it. So, NP. Fun convertible, hp to spare, manual transmission, good condition. All…

Actually it contains chloride; chlorine is diatomic.  But I understand your point.

Pah! That’s the last time I go there!

the clickbaity headline reeks of “nutrition health” tik tok: “did you know salt contains chlorine, a poison used for cleaning swimming pools? do you really want to put that in your body?”

Aerospace and nuclear (my industry) are polar opposite when it comes to throwing material at problems. I saw that recently where I worked with an aerospace company that designed a fixture. They were concerned that the fixture weighed 750 lbs, which seemed insane to them. My design would have been 2900 lbs and I had…

And that broken center console plastic? You just know there was a drunk trying to stand on it while the equally irresponsible driver was zipping down the street.

The first photo shows an obvious paint match problem between the fender and door. How do people not notice this? Silver cars with this issue are the easiest to spot.

Yeah... no.  Can find a Miata with half the miles and twelve years newer for the same price.  That dude knows what he’s got though.  /eyeroll

I read the CL ad and noticed this gem: “Not actual miles on this mr2".  Massive ND. 

When people say that they need material things like a car to boost their “image”, what they are really talking about is their own perception of themselves. It’s not really about how other people actually feel about them, it’s about how they think other people feel about them. It’s ultimately about self worth. 

Hardly anything anymore is about expertise. It’s about who can garner the most clicks, responses, and coverage. Regardless of whether or not any of it is positive or negative. 

Jim Cramer Advises Against Buying Tesla Stock

I mean, if you just need it for “image” then just rent it on the few occasions you need the image.

The world is flooded with these supposed halo cars from exotic manufacturers. The press talks ‘em up a few weeks, Youtubers get ‘em for yet another acceleration challenge (yadda yadda), and then the spotlight moves on. Rinse and repeat. It’s obnoxious.

My feeling about buying “toys” is that you should be able to afford the toy outright without needing a loan. Not saying you should ultimately buy it that way, but you should be able to endure that financial impact; everyone should evaluate their own financial situation, what interest rates are, and what other…

SF90 is an ugly Ferrari, there I said it. He could have had an 812 Competizione for cheaper and much better looking

I love wagons, but this has a loooong list of issues, many of which the seller should have taken care of before slapping an $8K price tag on it.
No Dice.

NP for a nostalgia-rich wagon, but after deducting $1k for the modified engine (stock wasn’t much better, as those 390s tended to leak fluids), $1k for damages and $2k for being a Ford, i’ll go with ND.  Probably a NP for a Ford fan, though.
