VW Bug conversion were something 20-30 yrs ago, now they are just sad

we wrangled a loaded Juke SL with most of the option book on it for "Nissan Employee" pricing without much of a haggle for a '13 Juke (identical to the '14) with 5K on the clock. They are just pushing the used inventory out. When looking for a friend who needed a cheap car, we found many 5-8 yr old used vehicles in…

body shop a few years ago had to repaint the hatch of my 09 Vibe. They put the fraking dealer badge BACK on when I told them to leave it off (the dealer was meh, but had gone out of business a year earlier.....

Wheaton's Law applies here... "Don't be a Dick"

CP, it's a Texan Ariel Atom, without the design, integrated space frame, but with rust on all the major junctures. If it was the end of the world, I'd look for a VW with a body of some sort on it. Even the "dune" buggy has the stock floor pan. This is an attempt at a sand rail, but without the thought to the amount of…

Driving from Philly to Columbus in the "Snowpacolypse" blizzard in 2010, 9 months after OHS, in a FWD Ford Freestyle, took 15hr straight. We were the last car to get on the PA turnpike before it was closed. All because my FIL was getting remarried and our flight in Philly had been cancelled

the Mark V was good, but the IV , esp with the 460, was epic

any small honda that is 15 plus years old... CRX, Civic, delSol .... was looking for one for the kids, and 99.9% had either an engine swap done by unknown persons, a body kit, fart can exhaust, goofy paint, mismatched body work (2000 front end on a 1995 body) OR in one glorious case ALL of the above

CP, wouldn't pay that for a pristine example, let alone one of dubious technical spec. high mileage, illegal levels of window tint (for my state)

The punctuation-lite ad does claim that the car is 'fast' and 'starts right up.' Those are both good signs and indications that if you were to buy this 171,000-mile Audi you could probably get it out of Ottumwa (Fairfield) Iowa, where it currently resides.

give that primo synchro westies go for 80K+ (gowesty.com) then NP, provided you can get it registered here

in the 70's Ford ran an ad campaign comparing the Ford Granada to the Mercedes SEL coupe's

we actually traded in the large SUV in on a CUV... a Juke SL, great car, as long as you don't look at it

plus side, A1 demonstration of poise and skill while driving in close quarters on a track

CP, If I had 85K and looking for a SUV I'd be buying a Land Rover or possibly some other luxo boat, not a Land Cruiser

few years ago, one of these got the Wheeler Dealer treatment, turned out pretty good, as long as no tin worm in bad places, it should be a good car. Driven several in my life and they all were amazing little cars. Could drive them at 9/10ths on the road and have a blast, NP

Why Can't Saab Survive?

I'm going to say CP, you can get more modern diesel bus from auctions for much much less and do something cool like this with it. http://steampunkworkshop.com/bus1.shtml

Merkur XR4Ti , Saab 900SPG, T-Bird Turbo Coupe, SVO Mustang (4cyl Turbo) sense a theme?

I'd pay half of that for a similar one with the rear still in place, need a college hauler for the kids once the wife ditches the SUV for something smaller now that we're downsizing
