Literally the perfect take on the situation. For me, the slushbox is kind of a plus - this car isn’t fast and it’s never going to be, nor is that its mission. It’s casual - and the slushbox is perfectly fitting - I don’t want to work too hard at being casual. It’s cool, in a ‘sport coat’ kind of way of being cool.

Even Tavarish would say ND to this one. 

town car trunks use ‘dead hookers’ as a unit of measure

I wouldn’t own that moneypit nightmare for free. ND.

This wasn’t worth $5 grand when it actually was worth $5 grand.  ND.

fixable...

that’s the zen of this car - you can absolutely do whatever the hell you want to it and not feel the least bit bad about it.  cheap thrills if you don’t take it too seriously. 

that’s literally the ‘charm’ here. ymmv

he was considering the significance of the passage of time being significant

rockers and cab corners intact don’t happen around here in Hellinois either

there is literally no redeeming quality to this pig - its purple. has black wheels. is an orphan car. wasn’t best in class when new. not a good highschool kid car even if it were cheap enough. it’s absurdly overpriced. it’s heavily neglected. 2 grand for a part-out is this car’s best chance at not becoming a money hole

gross.  ND

100%

to me this is either an $8K car or a $15K car, which means it’s a $6K car.

bottom crust isn’t any cleaner in following the rules - why turn this into a class warfare thing? 

ND. It’s absolutely cool. Absolutely too much money, but even if it were priced right, still ND. 1: It won’t fit in my modern suburban garage, and 2:  I can’t see getting all super thrilled to drive it on nice weather Fridays to work as much as almost any other ‘toy’ car I could think of.

was recently on the hunt for a Cougar version of this - nostalgia and all, as I’m a guy of a certain age for which this car pulls the old heartstrings.....  abandoned this idea for a few reasons - these cars rust A LOT - and I don’t feel like wrenching on rust.  And just as importantly, parts for these are a total

came here to say this - “License Plate Thumb” - hard nope

been like this for years now...far too heavy with poorly laid out ads

I’ve already started growing out my mustache.
