Eww

Just picked up my ‘22 2.0T Sport over the weekend. It’s a shame that motor/tranny combo isn’t carrying over because it’s a riot!

I worked on the flight deck in the 90's, and we were around engines running all day every day. Yep, just stay away from the intakes.

It’s a potent wagon, but it’s an ugly, 13yr old, german potent wagon that will cost tens of thousands to maintain.

Lemlin?

This is a really cool car, but the mileage keeps it from being a real collectors piece. $10k is a lot to pay for a few second glances at Cars And Coffee

Late edit: It’s not in Winchester Va, it’s in Moorefeild WV. This would help explain all the bad decisions that went into this thing. 

That’s the part that made me vote ND. We had one of these turds when I was  kid, and I cannot fathom why someone would put a $3k paint job on a $35 car. Don’t even get me started on those hood pins. 

8,000mi per year is not “highway miles”.

Price?

Yep. For 20 grand, I expect at least a basic cleaning.

No thanks

It doesn’t even have ventiports!

Vector M12

Well at least it paid for itself. That’s the most you can expect from a fun car.

Can that VW bus make it up a hill with a large dog in it?

I’ve noticed half the writers are now freelancers. They’re probably living the van life somewhere researching articles via the ‘gram.

Not long ago, you’d find them for 20-30k

Sadly, it’s a NP. The market has finally moved up on Panteras. They were much cheaper a few years ago, and I always kept one in the back of my mind as a future “attainable cool car”. Just like Grand National, time has now killed my dreams. Boo hoo for me.

Most fun? Either my ‘19 ND Miata RF GT (Soul Red Crystal, natch) or my Evo X. I miss them both dearly.
