Didn’t C&D make one of these with a motor in front AND back? Maybe it was a CRX.

Forget rage/fear. Lethal force is 100% justifiable here, especially with multiple assailants. You have no idea what their intentions are, a carjacking or armed assault might start the same way.

I just got new plates because my old one was evidently ticket worthy and as of 2 weeks ago we were at 9MM.

I mean, I would NEVER in a million  years even notice unless someone pointed it out.  And I’m a car guy.  Especially if they were ugly anyway. Like these.

You’d certainly need to polish.

Can’t drive it otherwise. ADHD thing. Can’t have any kind of screen.

But there’s at least a giant “Display Off” button prominently displayed which is about the best I’m getting in 2024.  At least I don’t need to paint over it like one of my work trucks, because taking it out wasn’t an option.

To be fair, I have talked to couple guys who like them because they cost way less to run than their exotics and they don’t mind parking it on the street or having it valeted. And even a shit Chevy dealer is a better experience than any of the exotics I imagine, if you’d like your stuff to be done in a timely fashion.

Less stuff to break. Still the base 323 was the ticket, not the Civic.

Damn, I was saving that until I’d had a few beers to get in the spirit.

2 wrongs don’t make a right. C8s are the new car of choice for the flat brim vape cloud ex Subie/Zcar douche bro crowd in my area.

Counterpoint: it’s ugly as fuck, if you push it even a little on the street you are a complete asshole who should lose their license, and it costs a relative fortune to track. But if you want to drive around at 2% of your ugly Chevy’s capabilities and look like a total tool while doing so, go ahead. At least a Lambo…

You can’t tell me I couldn’t bip over to France for 10 minutes and score 10 DS carbs? Or machine an adapter for another brand? Anyway, $26K is about what these go for mostly,but not completely sorted, so it’s right in line with the market.

Every employee there is probably driving on dealer plates.

Hell, I’d be tempted to just leave the car on the side of the road and uber back to my car. “you go get it”.

Depends on whether they have a tow truck I guess. Dumbass kids who only know one way to steal a car it would probably work. Dudes whose job it is to steal expensive cars for “export”, probably not.

It’s not just G35/37s either. Toyota/Lexus V8 RWDs too.

Antioch still end of the line for BART?  Gotta get home after all.

Oh yeah, I’m not advocating buying this car, just that a Ca. No Pass might not be a deal killer, depending.

What I said? But I can see them putting a half ass charge on a dead battery before rolling it back into the yard then letting it die again. I’d need to make sure why it didn’t pass, but I see more new-ish cars fail from sitting with a dead battery than anything else.
