Given these all rusted out up here 20 years ago, you wouldn’t have gotten one for $1500 ten years ago.  Welcome to 2023 prices.

Just something standalone.

Mid to late 70’s is a bit of a cheater code in the world of “Worst car the year you were born” lists. Anyone born into the malaise period kinda automatically “wins”.

Exactly!

This is awesome.

Since malaise was all the rage when I was born, the worst car the year I was born was probably the most malaise car that ever malaised.

With just 89,000 miles on the clock, the car hasn’t had the opportunity to really get wrung out

That’s got to be one of the worst car names ever.

Shit - that’s almost reason to go to Oshawa.  It’s not far from me...but I think I’ll wait a few more years to see if one shows up at Timmy’s just in case.

You could also look at the Manic GT. It was kinda pretty, but had a story behind it.

Easy NP. Price and condition are fine. This car should be capable of another 100k pretty easily (and likely another 100k with care), and it’s just not easy to find that for $6k these days. Though...I’d be mighty tempted to clean it up and do something weird like an EV conversion on it. Or swap in a V8.

Now you’ve spoiled tomorrow.

Do early 00's Nissan windows count?

I once proceeded through an intersection in Quebec as though it was a stop sign. I didn’t see it, but assumed there was one. My father was bewildered in his car behind me.

This is fascinating stuff... probably could have called it infrastructure history instead of garbage, but it’s all cool stuff.

I actually do a similar thing: I book with a nickname. The difference is that I’ve somehow got a passport with that nickname as well - even though every other official government document I have has my full name on it. One day, I assume I’ll run into a problem. Either with a passport renewal, or at the airport, or…

1st Gear: It boggles my mind that anyone even uses Autopilot. I don’t. It’s simply not safe. Especially at this time of year, my car has no idea where the lanes are.

You’re the one that keeps saying “18 minute evacuation time”.

Oddly... I was just thinking about this a few days ago.

Nope.
