For sure.  I’d actually be concerned about water intrusion.  Still, for that kind of money....

How the f**k?

A wedge-shaped slice of my soul just died. See you in hell. I'll save you a seat by the pizza oven. 

CP.  Wait, wrong article.

I was wondering the same thing.

I like old Z’s, but these ones from the early 80's represented the low water mark for the line. I actually had an ‘82 2+2 for a while. It drove pretty well for what it was, but a vehicle that age needs everything. All the rubber rots. Everything gets crusty. The suspension is worn out. This car is going to need a ton…

Ahem, *thrice* divorced.

17K miles in 11 years...  I wonder how much of that time this thing spent in the shop?  I mean, that’s one way to keep the miles down, right?

Take your star, good sir!

What the what?  Someone needs to identify what lurks beneath.  It looks like 90's Accord rims to me.  Any other clues?

“What, like the back of a Volkswagen?”

I voted CP but I’m reconsidering a bit. The assertion that anything from VAG with 200K+ miles will go up in value is ludicrous. Then again, the nickel-and-diming that you usually get might be less in this relatively simple package. On the other hand, you could have a decent E36 vert for the same money. I guess it’s…

What do *YOU* mean, “you people”?

Obvious CP. First, someone else’s project. Second, while they probably have even more money than that into it, that doesn’t mean it’s worth that much. You’re probably better off getting a clean stock one for half the price. Third, you could get a clean stock one and an M3 for way less money.  Or an X5M for about the…

Methinks the two were related.

I have to agree with you.  I was expecting a whole lot more “abuse” than what was shown in the video.  This guy just wants attention (news flash:  Corvette Driver Seeks Attention).  Okay, so the guy for the briefest of moments hit 94 and we can all agree that he didn’t need to.  But honestly, he never even wound it…

So many possibilities, but I’m going to recommend an X5. A first gen one can easily be gotten for $4000, and they still look damn good. Plus, they drive like a BMW should, even with the lift kit and extra cargo space. Sure, a first gen will have some little piddly problems that the newer ones fixed, but they’re minor…

At this price, I would buy it.  Drive it a couple times a month, keep it for a few years until I get bored with it, and dump it for pretty damn close to what I paid for it.  Probably wouldn’t even put on enough miles to need an oil change.  If it completely shits the bed during that time, unload it at a loss.  At that…

You get a star for your Grinch reference.

50 grand?  That’s a joke, right?
