What the hell.

For those to whom acceleration isn’t a thing, you can mod the 3-banger and its shorter final drive to take the top gear and maybe the final drive from the more powerful four-pot model. It’s easy to do, fifth gear is under a little hat on the outside of the case, so modding it doesn’t involve taking the gearbox out of…

And they are never ever going to sell, because in the time they’ve driven them they’ve saved enough on fuel vs. a more typical car to BUY a more typical car.

Ow, my brain!  That’s an image I’d like to unimagine.

Looking at the orange accents, following them up the hood to the side mirrors - are the mirrors’ backs reflectors? Are they turn signals? Because that would be hella awesome.

Oh, SNAP.  Dude.

Yeah, but I threw all logic to the winds. He clearly states he’s wrecked one car and wants another that can also do track duties. Either get something that babies well or a track car, don’t try to make the Caravan dance and don’t try to shove a kid into the back of the Carrera. If you’re flinging your track ride…

I just now found an indication on my newsfeed why they’re not getting back to you:

The problem is that these calls are spoofed onto local numbers.  If I don’t immediately recognize the number I’m automatically suspect; if it’s coming from the same prefix as my own number I’m VERY leery.

Never been big on bikes but there’s always been a couple that appealed:

I’ve said it before and it bears repeating: buying a car is an emotional decision. Your brain is involved but only because that’s where all the serotonin-oozing neurons live.

It took me a moment, I must admit. I saw Zaire but thought, “those guys have been out of business for decades. “ Because what you wrote was Zaire but what I read was...

In the fullness of time and subsequent comments I have been schooled that all US VehiCROSSes were 4WD only. That lends more weight on the rusted to shit side of the scale.

Mmm. The Japanese-spec model was available as an FWD model which led me to believe that would be an option in the States too.

Ad doesn’t say it doesn’t run. It reads: “please be prepared to trailer, front tires are bald” I’m not making the leap from trailering to non-running. It might just be about the tires and nothing else, and some people might say bald when they mean “we’ve worn through the treads and the cords so the only thing holding…

The vehicle’s exterior looks pretty good for its age, and the interior too if you can overlook a bit of wear on the driver’s door-side bolster.

This would be a series hybrid, not mechanical connection to the drivetrain.

Torch,

Atom.  No weight and a buttload of power.

“Dame Edna looks,” that got me. And the color - was that an optional, added-cost color? Because it looks like someone shot clearcoat on top of primer and rolled it out the door. I’ve had it up to here with all these damned grey cars and I drive a grey car.
