Definitely. I flew to Dallas to help a friend of mine move, and the storage facility we took a bunch of stuff out of was adjacent to the Sewell dealership on Lemmon Ave. In between boxes and stuff, I remembered thinking that place was huge.

Love these! I think Jalopnik did an article on these a while back, as someone had two of them for sale (though those may have been Civic convertible conversions, now that I think of it). Either way, this is such a unique car, and apart from the top stuff, everything else should be bone stock Si mechanicals, so parts…

Inception!

He’s safe; my pitchfork and torch are at the dry cleaners at the moment.

It’s hard enough to get people to want electric cars because of the (perceived) lack of places to charge them up, even though you can do so at home with a standard cord if need be; why does Toyota think anyone is going to want to buy something that you almost literally can’t find a place to refill it?

Or maybe their founding past was as proctologists...cause that grille looks like ass.

I was in the middle of drinking my AM coffee and thought this said $35,500 and figured eh, it’s a bit high, but it looks pretty nice for what it is.

When he tells you he likes “doggy style”, and means it!

Knotty by nature!

(emphasis on “dump”, in this case...)

I’m going to go re-read that “Hop on Pop” book now...

Didn’t Jalopnik do an article years ago about a guy who bought a Toyota hybrid (I think it was) with a bad cell or something, and it would only charge up to 50% maybe, and he was quoted a ridiculous amount to repair it, and he took it apart himself and fixed it for next to nothing? He was able to get it charged up to…

Someone definitely rode the “D” train that day!

I like it, though in the pantheon of “cars owned by famous people”, it’s kind of up there with Bette Davis’ 1980 Mustang; *you* know it was owned by a famous person, but the rest of the world sees an old Mustang (or in this case, a regular old ATS that their neighbor probably has).

Not only that, but speaking from experience, I had my Mustang (89 GT convertible) repainted some time ago; they disassembled the car (somewhere I have a pic of it in the shop) to do the custom paint job (smoke silver metallic with a cabernet undertone) paint job, and that wasn’t close to $10 grand. I wouldn’t touch…

Last Oct., I had just gotten my car back after getting a bunch of body/structural stuff done, and had gotten it inspected. Decided to take a road trip, and didn’t get more than 5 miles out of town and the check engine light came on.

“Audis are built for leasing”

Given the...questionable builds people have done in their backyards/garages that are allowed on the streets (or just living in Ohio, for that matter), could you get a 2004 Lincoln of some sort, add/remove enough parts, and title this as a kit car? The fit and finish would have to be better than something built from a…

Not even that; I had my transmission replaced going on 3 years ago, and it was $2100 installed. I had a ridiculous amount of body work done last September (outer and inner frame rails, rear shock mounts, and some other rusted items) for $3500. That said,in the entirety of the time I’ve owned the car (will be 13 years…
