I remember looking at this exact kit car when I was in college. (Don’t do the math, I’m old.) Although I was leaning toward the standard 356 replica, it didn’t take much to realize it would cost more than $10,000 to build a car that was basically a plastic VW Beetle convertible with no comfort, convenience, or safety.

If you say so.

So your lot get to throw insults tell everyone to fuck your feelings for four years and the minute things change oh we need to work together

But if they voted for him and agreed with trying to delegitimizing an election, trying to keep an authoritarian in place and sympathized with white supremacists, calling them a Nazi is OK in my book.

It was perfectly ok to ask questions about the elections. It was also ok to launch a series of lawsuits. What was not ok was, after it became very obvious that there was zero proof of wide scale fraud, that our elected officials kept pushing a false narrative solely for the purpose of setting themselves up for…

If that’s all you want, Biden’s on a roll, baby!

And doing something about covid. It's like as soon as Trump couldn't spin covid to his advantage he just ignored it. 

FCA, I can see them supporting this right to the bitter end. I mean they’re entire ‘thing’ is building cars with outrageous engines and insane fuel economy numbers. So yeah go down with that particularly crazy MAGA ship, FCA. It’s probably your best bet since at least you can tell all your Hellcat buyers that you…

What do I want from the Biden admin. How about less golf, less nepotism, less crazy tweets, less blatant lying, less “let’s try to be a mean and crule as possiable” and just some normal semi-efficient, boring governance.

Like five years ago, I thought I wanted one of these. The theory was, it would be a perfect Radwood type of car. At the time, I wanted a cool “local car” because I was living in East Nashville, and most of my trips were only like 3-4 miles, at the most. Sometimes I’d get wild and drive like 20 miles to the ‘Boro, but…

Atlanta is nice, but it’s in a red state that could preempt the city’s pro-LGBT policies any time it chooses.

Everyone’s got their own reasons, I think. Personally, I’m genderqueer and the Venn diagram of places that are LGBTQ friendly and places that are expensive to live in is just a circle. If I’m going to pay a lot I might as well be somewhere with nice weather.

He may be like me and has lived here his whole life and has owned property for a long time.  I fall into that category.  My wife and I earn a good living, but I don’t know how a young person could move here from elsewhere, particularly if they went to the Bay Area.  Even if both people were earning 6 figures, the…

In my experience, being house poor in some parts of CA can provide a significantly better quality of life than being financially flush elsewhere

Or just enjoy the life they live?

As long as we stay afloat, I’m okay with that. We get to be our own country when it happens, right?

I see well loved — imperfect, obviously used, but well taken care of — cars like this every time I go to my local BMW dealership. A few for sale, most visiting the shop for one thing or another. People do own these things, sell them, and people buy them.

because everyone in the enthusiast community for the car you are selling is a low-balling cheap hater bastard.

I think it was the typical hypocrisy thing.

Blackstock’s a gem; love her deep-dive articles on racing history...hopefully G/O doesn’t fuck it up this time, I hope she sticks around.
