A little high but if the dog legs aren’t rusted out and the rockets are still in good shape it would be a good deal at $2k. Pull a motor from a wrecked PTGT, slap it in there and enjoy your 13 second daily driver.

I ended up with a 1987 Elite scooter and a broken laptop screen.

I think someone should check in on DT. He’s having an aneurysm.

this is the correct answer. 

I always like the Cobalt name; much less cavalier than Cavalier, and cooler than Cruise.

I personally don’t want this car, but clear coat isn’t too bad to spray and a roof is very easy to mask off. If you want a 10ft car, which you should if you are only spending $4k, you wouldn’t even have to wet sand it because it is on the roof. I’d sand it, but you don’t have to to make it a 10 footer.

$4K Yes - and these were good cars just housed in that horrific Cobalt name-plate. Still, this is a good example and I will take the sun-scarring over northern rust any day. The later Turbo would be better but still, better than the sum of its cobalt parts.

So, in reading all these comments I have, in fact, determined that a substantial portion of Jalopniks are lawyers... And honestly, I don’t know how I feel about that right now.

The court didn’t fuck anything up. The focus of the decision wasn’t on the word “perform” — which the blogger here inaccurately contends — but instead was on the intent of the legislature. This law was meant to guard against fraudulent behavior — of which there was none here. It was not mean to guard against negligent…

Nobody understands this!

If they don’t tighten the lug nuts, you can still use them for negligence. You just can’t Sue them for EXTRA damages and attorneys fees for mere negligence; they would need to do something fraudulent.

I do have a law degree, as do the judges who wrote this decision. I worked a law clerk for nearly 3 years.

Yeah, no, that’s not really what is going on here. The court is basically saying that if you did steps 1-14 of your list, you have ‘performed’ the tire rotation. Nothing unfair or deceptive. Now if you forget to do step 12 for one of the wheels, that is by all means ‘negligent’ (and they will get compensation for…

In the meantime, good luck suing an incompetent mechanic in Michigan.

Yes, and he’s right. The statute is design to punish worse dealers who go “Oh, we changed your oil and replaced your fuel filter,” but didn’t DO that. It is not designed to punish ordinary negligence in “oh, we changed your oil, but did it poorly.” One represents a fraud on the customer, the other is just negligent.

And in this case the court was right. There was nothing unfair or deceptive about forgetting to tighten the lug nuts, what was just negligence. In this case the mechanic *did* actually rotate the tires, he just did a shitty job at it.

What’s important to me is being able to open an article in Jalopnik without a video autoplaying.

Psssh.. $30k budget?

So basically it’ll be like Monaco

I see it now. Tons of Instagram models and ultra douche-nozzle posh guys that don’t even know about F1 all over the hospitality suites. Tons of wannabe wealthy poser-ass peeps taking more selfies than pictures of the cars.  I can smell the beauty products from here.
