I was thinking that maybe it would even things up if someone was taking shots at the plane with a deer rifle from the ground. Maybe aiming at the cockpit, maybe not.

I want one (and have wanted one) quite badly since the first time I drove one about 8 years ago. Thanks for highlighting this awesome and underrated machine.

At least no real automobiles were injured.

Can you say “deathtrap?” If I’m going out, my $5600 is going to buy more something a lot more fun.

I’m right there with you, dude.

There’s a sucker born every minute, friend.

And will rebuild the motor on the floor, in his kitchen. ah, bachelorhood.

Sad but true: I’d be happier with a 10-year-old Landcruiser.

Again, the full-size spare in my ‘96 Lexus LS has come in handy on more than one occasion.

This is the average Breitbartian, right here.

He wasn’t that old, but didn’t deserve the sucker punch. That said, the guy sitting next to him looked capable enough of putting the little bastard down a flight of stairs. ‘Tis a shame that didn’t happen.

This is some “A” level nerding in this piece, right here. Well done.

The moral of the story is that no one would miss the old redneck had the bus run him over.

This car just screams “dirty white boy, itching to die.”

Yeah, sounds like you know exactly what you’re doing, and I think you have the right approach. (My stock stereo still sounds great, but not having even an input jack can be annoying.)  Though it’s really amusing when one of my younger friends gets in my car (like under age 27 or so) and has no idea what kind of…

Dude, they will run forever. Just make sure the timing belt and water pump get done every 80k or so. The guy I bought mine from 8 years ago had a gen 1 on the lot with over 300k miles on it and was still asking $2500 - bet he got it, too. You won’t win any drag races in it, but you’ll never enjoy a highway cruiser…

LS engine swap, lose the front bumper, rattle-can her black, and call it the “44-Hoon.”

So the winger wants to sell less cars than he already does, and alienate part of the public in the process. That always works out well for the bottom line, right?

It’s in nice shape. It’s absolutely beautiful. I wouldn’t trust it to get me to Kenosha from Chicago. And they still want $10k+ for this thing.

Afraid not. I’m a dude, to begin with. But glad to hear she has good taste in cars. We’ve got to get a meet-up going here in the city.
