Sstandard used car question: if it’s an easy fix, why hasn’t the seller fixed it?

Poll still messed up. Russian meddling perhaps?

A hoarder I knew has one of these buried under mounds of debris in one of his storage units. It will be available as a “Barn Find” in about 20 years when he dies, unless his kids just have it crushed because nobody cares

Wow. NP on that Vigor.

That’s weird. The poll looks alright to me. Are you using one of those new folding phones? 

There are two things wrong with the breaking system.. I feel that brakes are very important for cars, also 66K in 26 years... when did it sit on the sideline for a few years? ... check the gaskets and belts, assume you are looking at $2K for repairs, at $3.5K you are ok, otherwise CP.

This is a tough one. A car of that age will have known, which he points out, and unknown mechanical issues. $5,500 is a bit too much of a risk on something that could cost $200 or $2,000 in repairs. CP at the asking price. NP at maybe $4K.

Well I picked one at random and it went to NP, so it must be.

I would rather have a Vigor because I want in on those zany five cylinder shenanigans.

6 random letters on a license plate is not a universal code. 

HOLY FUCK, YOU DO REALIZE YOU DIDNT PUT YOUR FINGER OVER THE PLATE RIGHT!?!?!?!?!?! HOLY FUCK. HOLY FUCK. THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU NOW. OH FUCK. BETTER RUN. 

That is pretty clever, but still doesn’t approach my all-time favorite personalized plate:

Most personalized license plates are either inside jokes no one gets,

Having been in a Tesla Model 3 on autopilot that completely missed a corner and headed toward an 800 foot in a place where the road paint had been worn away, I call BS on the claim that LiDAR isn’t needed. Fortunately for me, the driver was being attentive.

On a full-course yellow, you damn well better be a lot more than 3 seconds slower than your fastest time. You know, like *everyone else on the track was*. This isn’t backing off for a local yellow here. This is a safety car situation.

I see your point, however according to AER, everyone else was 10-11 seconds off their normal times during the FCY. That should give a better perspective on just how much slower the rest of the field was going while he was only a two-three seconds off his previous lap times.

He’s going all of 3% slower than his fastest lap.  Why are you twisting yourself into knots to defend him?

He also has an SCCA license, so saying it was his first time and he didn’t know the rules is bullshit. He has at least some track experience (AER does not allow totally new drivers). At every event, there is a drivers meeting, and at every drivers meeting they discuss yellow flags. He broke rule number one.

A safety…

I don’t work in a capacity that has me responding to incidents, but I do work corners - both as a volunteer with SCCA San Francisco Region and as a part-time employee at Sonoma Raceway.

Is that seriously what they look like on the inside?
