About 20 years ago I bought a cheap ‘77 911S Targa. The drive home was magical. It sounded good and with the roof off, that car actually feels like a genuine convertible, it’s amazing. Now I knew this thing wasn’t perfect. Someone had lavished it with pearl white paint, a whale tail, pinstripe upholstery, an alarm and…

To add: Another factor for me is that some modern engines are just too damn smooth to detect with my seat of the pants tachometer. If I can't hear or feel it, I don't know how much gas to give it to rev match. Very frustrating in my Golf because the pedal placement is spot-on.

Yeah but those are unattainable to me. I could swing a gen 1.

This or an Audi R8? Hmm...

Wasn’t that the one with the Aston Martin cloaking device? One of the silliest scenes ever in a Bond movie. 

Yeah, I had to replace all the vacuum motors behind the dash in order to restore proper HVAC operation. It worked great once I did, with AC temps below 40 deg. F, but it was a big job.

It leads to moisture build up and fogs the windows like crazy. My partner leaves his on all the time and wonders why his windshield stays foggy. I had a 91 Mercedes with auto climate control that would automatically disengage recirc after about 20 minutes. This was designed behavior, per the owner’s manual, not just…

Yeah, even with recirc on don’t cars automatically mix in some outside air anyway? Also, it’s not good to leave recirc on continuously and some cars will even time it out automatically.

I don't see anything in the ad that indicates it doesn't start...?

This stuck out to me, too. I could understand rounding 179 to 180, but rounding it to 200 is completely unjustified.

So sis didn’t want to put her new baby in a 30 year old wagon. The ungratefulness!

Dave Ramsey is a quack. Full stop. I once heard a listener call him and say something like "My wife and I want to start a family but we have no savings and $20k in credit card debt and 2 car payments" and practically before he could finish talking Ramsey was saying "Jesus wants you to have a child. Have a child and…

No shit. No Mow August would make more sense (assuming you don't water).

The ad states the cowl drains backed up, which is better but still...this thing is a ticking bomb.

Black wheels never had a cool factor. My first reaction is that they look like the hubcaps popped off.

I have a soft spot for 6 cylinder, stick shift F-150s of this vintage since driving one at a job I held long ago. My only reservation about this is that it’s too nice to be a winter beater, so I’d need another vehicle for that. NP

Wait, the car was already dented when the seller bought it? And he knew that... and bought it anyway? And proceeded to put $26K of upgrades on it? Let’s play Stupid or Lying!

So this guy found this car for an unbelievable price and still felt the need to haggle a couple grand off? Yeah, screw him.

I had a 944 owner tell me that his 944, a car that in all its forms (924, 944, 968) only ever had 4 cylinders, was a V6.

In 2018 I had to drive the F-150 at my job for a week’s worth of 2-hour round trips. The seats hurt my back and hips. By Wednesday I couldn’t walk normally. On Thursday morning I almost couldn’t get out of bed. By the end of the week my hip had started cracking and it still cracks to this day.
