CP, barely. A 100K+ stock R32 at this price and apparent condition would have made the cut; this has too much visible mongrel-ness not to expect further nasty surprises.

And now he apparently hangs out at airports starting up conversations with random strangers. SAD.

Seems worth mentioning that the value of “CPO” varies wildly from brand to brand and, I think sometimes, from dealer to dealer.

As long as nobody uses the words “inmates running the asylum” this should work out OK.

This would, indeed, put that song in one’s head all day, every day.

This permissive attitude is why western civilization is in decline.

Anybody who put 50K miles on that thing in one year was a glutton for punishment.

Fair enough. 99% of the time I’m with my wife, though — which may make the creepy factor better or worse.

Not really street, not really track, and if you made it track, it’d be the wrong kind of track. CP

1. From the typography and picture I’m placing this article as from the mid-’60s. Imagine, if you will, a world where the commercially-produced snack foods aisle does not contain tortilla chips.(cue spooky music). Exotic, Mexican-related snack foods in 1965 consisted of: Fritos.

I too am puzzled at Tom’s negative perception of the “internet sales” guys and peoples’ horror stories about not being able to get a quote.

When I go off the path, my rule is - just order what I want, assuming it’s mentioned anywhere on the menu (“a grilled cheese sandwich and a side of asparagus”) and let them charge what they see fit. I’m not ordering it because it’s cheap, or because it’s a “kids’ meal” — it’s what I want.

Hey what’s that in the door pocket?

Jeez people, have you no faith in humanity?

I inherited a dislike of green cars from my dad, who was a bigger car guy than me by a couple orders of magnitude. His antipathy towards the color extended to the point where he insisted on re-painting the first car I ever owned (a ‘68 Mustang fastback, nyah) from green to black (also doing me the service of removing…

Deadspin sure has an ongoing hard-on for other sports media outlets.

Only 15? Even with all the variations and permutations on slalom skiing? I think there are that many different kind of boats in the summer games.

Rob is into the vans and exotic imports this week, and this hits both buttons.

I was sure “automatic breaking in reverse” was going to mean sudden, unbidden acceleration.
