Not that it changes my pro-Plein stance here, but I’m curious if the green is a wrap, aftermarket paint, or factory custom.  Man, I hope it’s factory custom.

Rocky XII:  Great-grandson of Creed

You can only get those with the $17,000 Safety-Vest-Yellow brake caliper appearance package.  For another $9,000, you can get the Corvette logo stitched into the trunk mat.

This. I once had a 91 940se that had mystery fuel/ spark issues. Would just completely and randomly shut down and my well-regraded Volvo-only shop never could find the culprit. Shame, because otherwise the car was one of the best cars I’ve owned.  

And to think the market for muscle cars hasn’t even crashed yet.  Then the howling will really start.

Imagine if after a life of not having kids, but still not having F-U money, you learn that Volvo finally introduced some breathtaking styling, but everything has a 2.0l 4-pot.  So you crawl back to your slushbox 3.0T V60 and quietly weep until the torque dries the tears.

15 years ago, the original movie was at least interesting due to its lo-fi approach (guerrilla indy vibe).  Fast forward to today and this movie will be ignored within an hour of the last Today Show segment.

Checking to see if the magnets have lost strength after almost 30 years?

No, too heartbroken. Became a “ran when parked” until I sold it many years later. Suffice to say, the 70s Japanese stuff didn’t have the thickest sheetmetal.

Arby’s... your move.

Yep.  I’ve lost a rear blade due a snag.  

Back when I had but 1.5 nickels to rub together, I built a ‘78 280Z. Lowering springs, Konis, punched out to 3.0l, flat-top pistons, lumpy 290/490 NISMO cam, Dual Webers, headers, fresh paint.  3 months after finishing it, it got caught in one of those Florida golf-ball hail storms.

Sorry, but as great as a 2JZ might be, stuffing into a Datsun is no bueno.

When I served aboard USS Toledo (SSN-769), Tony Packo’s regularly sent cases of provisions to the crew.  Always a favorite and I try to repay the favor by visiting when I pass through the city.

Sadly, the Tesla 3 has the curb appeal of a Saturn.

Assuming the spots are blisters/ bubbles, I recommend steel wool and a lot of elbow grease. Reseason as needed using extremely thin layers (as in, far less oil than you think is adequate. Repeat as necessary, cooling the pan completely between seasonings.

Indeed. I hate to admit it, but Pizza Rolls are really far tastier than their reputation might let on. Kinda like Pringles... there’s some big-corp alchemy involved.

Maybe we can get Fred Durst to opine.

I view luxury as “everything is as you’d expect it to be (or better), and nothing is annoying.” So it comes down to compromise and is very personal. It isn’t leather vs MB-Tex or whatever... it’s what you want it to be.  Some people may draw the line at leather or multi-color mood lighting interiors... for me it’s…

For an additional data point, in 2010 I traded my 1993 940T wagon at 207K miles and received $800 in trade. Compared to the NPOCP car, mine had worse paint due to clearcoat peeling on the hood, but the interior was dead perfect. So, a wash on condition. These are neat cars, but $3500 for one in 2019 is just too…
