Just did a Private Party purchase with financing. It did take a week or so because the car was not local to me (The CU was in Florida, The car East of Sacramento, me in the Bay Area) so getting someone from the CU to where the car was for an inspection/pics took a few days.

Advice when tempted to buy an Aston Martin: You can only get the extended warranty for cars built in the last 10 years. Also, try as much as possible to get the car from that brand’s dealership or CarMax... otherwise you get offered shitty warranties that cover next to nothing.

YES! Correct answer. Blame it on Fast & Furious franchise that the 3000GT VR4 isn’t valued higher. It never appeared (except on a cut-off scene available in DVD & it was wearing a hideous body kit) Had Dom or one of the gang drove one, it would cost the same as MK IV Toyota Supra.

You magnificent lucky patient bastards!

When I die, I’ll ask that my consciousness be uploaded to this 1989 auto show. I’ll be in heaven.

This is Genesis... this is sacred ground. The year that gave us the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 - called the GTO, but here in the first video at 13:21, you can see the concept 3000GT, back then it was called the HSX (see front bumper) and if Isuzu had made the 4200R concept showing at 4:21 first video, McLaren would not…

Why do you give a shit about the ‘NSX’ on top of the container and with a tarp? It is just a shell left and nothing else. At least the yellow one on the first top picture still looks like it could be salvageable. That one hurts a bit. Next time, Ill go to Hong Kong with my tools and help myself to some parts.

So....not a single Mitsubishi??? Really??? I am so disappointed....

I could talk about Dad’s brand new 1981 LeBaron Sedan (where legend says I threw up on the 3rd day of ownership) or The 1986 VW beetle, where I learned how to drive. But the first Jalop car that inspired me was owned by an uncle:

Dude!! You are living the dream! I wish to subscribe to your newsletter and send donations toward our Church of VR4 devotees.

Remember this one? This was mine. I sold it:

Renault Alliance’s head gaskets are made of recycled wet kleenex. And no one knows how to properly fix them. I nearly lost my life gaining the knowledge of this secret.

The Fatties - This time It was ‘The Fatties 3: Farts on a Plane’ - With special guest Samuel L Jackson - ‘We gotta get this m*****kin’ farts out of the m*****kin’ plane!’

This is bad, instead of Nissan helping Mitsubishi with product, they decided to teach them crappier marketing tricks than their ‘Rogue’ Star Wars special edition vehicles. But with a $500 marketing budget.... Bad contrived marketing is something Mitsubishi never did. Doesn’t bode well.

It’s a large transmission. It uses approx 11 quarts of very precious VW transmission fluid (like $50/quarter) and it also requires to do be done on a lift, while the engine is running and a software re-flash. Not your usual Jiffy Lube quickie flush. VW first said they were ‘lifetime fluids’ but quickly changed it to…

This V10 Touareg makes my V8 Phaeton look like a boring, reliable Camry. And that’s even after dropping $950 yesterday on a transmission flush. (Recommended to do every 80K miles)

Agree, but we’re not talking the ol’ VR6, but a twin-turbo that could do 300+HP. They are making some noise about it

No you don’t. Phaetons have V8s or W12s, so your ‘guy’ drives a V8
