A lot of the old cars, particularly backup or practice cars, go to private collectors who are in good with the factory after their season is over.

You and I, we were clearly separated at birth.

See, the rules of NCOCP need to be clarified. Are we judging these cars in a vacuum or do we take the market into account? Is it a car that we'd personally like to own for that money, or is it a nice price for someone who's in the market anyway? What's the frame of reference? There's a few ways of looking at it.

Nah, under $20k for one of these is a very decent price. The market on Wagoneers is insane right now.

Anyone voting crack pipe on this car needs to turn in their official Jalopnik decoder ring and buy a Camry.

Bullshit. There's a difference between functional performance wheels and even aesthetically large wheels that the entire car has been designed around, and putting ridiculous 22" chrome douche rims on a classic car.

You lost me at "massive 22 inch wheels".

"Traction issue at 80mph" are not words you ever want to hear in a situation like this. Dude is lucky to have his car (and limbs) intact.

I was just being sarcastic, jeez.

Fact: Not one word of that made a lick of sense.

And nothing of value was lost.

Why? Because Asanti wheels are so cool?

Maybe if it wasn't electric blue with pep-boys-special wheels and accessories.

Yeesh, tough one.

This is such a ridiculously bad idea. The Leaf is ill-suited to pretty much every single aspect of NYC taxi duty.

This story would make a lot more sense if it happened in Ft. Greene.

Oooooh so SHE was the hamster in the Kia commericals. Man, I was wondering who they got to drive 5mph in a straight line.

what is this i dont even

Now THATS art!

You don't have to pay income taxes on that thing until you file in April, and you don't have to pay sales tax unless you register it.
