It’s low mileage and in nearly new condition, but it wasn’t that good of a car when it was actually new.

I’m glad you found the right buyer. It’s funny how certain combinations of parts can scratch a precise type of itch. I had picked up a basket case Kawasaki with no title a few years ago, then found someone a couple hours away who was selling a rolling frame - with title! - for the same model. An engineless motorcycle…

“crude jokes”

It’s only Monday and already my “this week I will be good and not made crude jokes” promise is being sorely tempted.

A Florida wildlife officer will put the bridge down. It has a taste for boaters now.

I have decided that if I somehow make it to 80 years old, I am hijacking (gently..no one will be hurt) a wienermobile and leading police on a “high speed” chase across the country as far as I can make it

rage is my sustenance

Not all rare things are valuable. This is one of those things. It’s so rare, in fact, that virtually nobody knew they existed, and now that everybody does nobody cares that they didn’t know. No dice.

That looks like the vehicular equivalent of a cartoon character that’s just had its ass kicked up around its shoulders.

I think the other thing worth considering is that a lot of cars have batteries that range between 40~60kwh, vs the 18kwh in the volt.... if you were to do all your driving battery-only (which by a quick read has 53 mile range)... you’re doing a full cycle on that that battery once every 1.5 days (145000/(11*365)= 36…

That was the original hot hatch! The glass hatch used to explode under high temperatures

Chevy Chevette Rally 1.6. 

The turbo egg! My neighbor had one when it came out. I remember watching the little turbo light on the dashboard.

How about this: a place to put your own phone so that it is hands-free. Don’t need thousands of dollars of car-installed equipment, when everything you need is on the phone. And if it’s not, the phone can be upgraded. Hell, the back-up camera could use one’s own phone as the monitor.

On the plus side, the GX 460 has been largely unchanged before 2022. Other than a slight infotainment update in 2014, and changes to the grille and tail lamps, buying a 2010 gets you pretty much the same thing as buying a 2021. That coupled with their overall excellent reliability and better prices than 4Runners, make…

Can’t afford

Resistance to stall depends on the engine/idle speed. When I helped a few people learn on a 4cyl Honda I would turn the A/C on as it bumped the idle up another 150-200rpm and made it just a little more forgiving.
