Im sorry... I know we all have our things. I get it... We are car people....... But if you spend $70k on a Vanagon you are a fucking moron. And the fact that there are a few for sale at this price, there must be a number of morons out there.

Realistically this is a price for a very specific buyer. Apparently there were only about 1500 total ever available in North America and have gained a huge cult following.

...and for $68K I don’t want to have to constantly replace head gaskets. Honestly, for me, ANY other engine swap would be preferred... I had an ‘03 Outback that was the biggest turd I’ve ever had the mispleasure of driving

Looks like it should be deploying a vomit bag for the guy bending over after looking at it.

Ugh how annoying will it be for 2014(?)/2015/2016 owners to buy parts and forget that the V6s are similar but different when they order parts. Sure listings will say 2014-2016 or 2017+ but even as a gear head I’ll sit back and think “huh, weird, it was the same truck until 2022 [or whenever it’s refreshed]. eBay

We don’t get fooled again

No, no!

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Meet the new engine
Same as the old engine

There’s absolutely no way your car shouldn’t start on 89 octane gasoline. There’s a problem there.

If your BRZ is stock then something is terribly wrong with it.

If you have a choice, always go ethanol free for all you gas powered vehicles/power tools/powersport equipment

Aren’t some a/c systems designed to shut off at full throttle or high rpms?

After reading your post, I look at my Apple watch and weep (And I LOVE my Apple watch). But a [fill in your favorite mechanical watch name here] it ain’t. My shiny bauble is tomorrow’s junk, destined to go in the same box as my PalmPilot and map-less Garmin GPS from 1998.

Let me get this right...I need to tip the valet beforehand so he won’t destroy my car, which is extortion. Then I need to tip him again when he drops it off without damage, which is his job? Exactly why I will never use a valet again.

That attention includes some wiring, some intake plumbing, the interior work (headliner, dash recover) and clean up of the wrap on the rear bumper.

Are those Dodge fender stripes?

Just one point about people refusing to buy VWs because of their cheating:VW Group employs hundreds of thousands of workers, and they’re the ones who would suffer from any sort of boycott.

Let me tell you a story that happened a few months ago,

It’s a LOT easier to sell an $80,000 sports car than a $400K one.

Well thats a pretty low bar to set. Ive had bowel movements with more musical talent and nuance than nickelback
