I bet you can get the squishy things for a lot less than $18k.

On the upside, it’s about a half-hour west of my parents. I could go in and check on them and maybe pull them away from the DC area before the whole place goes up in smoke next week.

and your brother

If I had to guess I would say the gearchange locks and releases different planetaries in the rear end.

Having briefly owned a 240 and loved everything about it, WANT.

I like this a hell of a lot better than the HR-V that displaced it in the States.

A diesel Chevy van. It was a conversion, plush inside in the typical excess of dealership “luxury “ offerings.

Came here to say Element. Its outdoor-friendly interior makes it an easy choice.

The closely related Renault 18 enjoyed great popularity in Europe, particularly France, and the Fuego was also offered there and in South America. Knowing that there is a much broader range of places to look for parts, though it can help a lot if you have some extra languages under your belt. The advent of the…

There’s no way in hell for several reasons.

The interior would be perfectly acceptable as it seems to be essentially “an interior” with no especially distinguishing characteristics...

This is one of those cases where it’s almost the wrong word.  But do we have a more appropriate word to use in its place?  All the other words we might use have been lumbered with established meanings.  “Swap” implies parts that may not be factory, “conversion” anymore is leaning more toward making the vehicle into an…

So what you’re really saying is that in 100,000 years or so the stars will have moved far enough that you can discern the seventh again and Subaru’s logo will need revision.

Holy smokes. That is a serious collection, and professionally displayed no less.

I have NO model cars whatsoever, though I do have some model tractors.  I even have a 1948 Allis-Chalmers G, the exact same tractor my grandfather used to have (and was the first guy in his little town to buy one).  If I can find it, I’ll snap a picture.

The price sounds a little high but I could be moved to give on my limits, maybe. It would kind of depend on how the meeting went.

I’ve been hearing that the REX i3s are rife with issues, often related specifically to the REX system. Their fans are often fans almost as intense as Teslarati but they’re perfectly cognizant of their cars’ shortcomings.

I’m usually of the opinion that the car’s looks don’t matter because you’re usually inside it. But the first-gen Leaf, I just gotta say...man. It looks weird.

I haven’t had to sync a carb since the 1980s working on a friend’s duals on his VW. Imagine doing six of them.

I could not find a time for the 400. Knowing the ‘78 BB512 with more power and less weight could manage the sprint in 5.4, it seemed to me a safe guess that the Camry would hold up well against it.
