So many solutions... find a new apartment. Find a bigger parking spot. Rent a spot someplace. Get back with your wife. Whatever, dude... this cybertruck “crisis" is an issue of your own making. Put on your big-boy pants and figure it out. 

I was thinking that, too. The inherent blotchiness of the stainless still seems to show through. 

I remember seeing that AmEx DMC at, I think, the Reno car museum around 1992.

If it weren’t for the color...

It’s like someone ordered a limited appeal diesel model BMW, checked the box for the auto to eliminate interest from enthusiasts, and saddled it with about the least attractive paint and interior combo possible. Then, over the course of ownership took every opportunity to mod it with aftermarket parts to make it less…

Doh! It’s a bowrider after spell-check comes aboard. 

So if I’m reading this right, I could take it to the extreme and drain all the oil out of a Prius and maybe get a 6 second 0-60 time... once? 

That’s my top choice for an EV when we get around to our next car, too.

And I gotta admit that he makes a good case for it. But a lot of people will always associate it with one with the hate flag on the roof.

For comparison, boats like this with 3 big outboards burns over 100 gallons per hour, too. And while they only carry about 10 passengers vs the ferry’s 418, I suspect the bikini-clad bowlders are more of a treat to the eye than the 400 or so dour English businessmen and the sloppy tourists crossing the channel.

Sounds like a lot, sure, but even if you use worst-case numbers — let’s say that max consumption of 1000 gallons an hour — you’re really only talking about 2 gallons of fuel per person to move them (and their car) the 27 miles across the channel. So even at a cost of $10/gallon it’s $20 per person — Not outrageous.…

The irony is that if he truly was a crusader about building eco-friendly products and doing the stuff to truly fight climate change — electric cars, solar roofs, clean manufacturing, etc — Tesla’s sales would probably be 3X what they were last year, and all the other businesses would be going like gangbusters. But he…

I loved the look of this thing back in the day; it’s funny how now it seems so simple and almost clunky from the front. I would have loved to see Audi make it, but I think they made the right call -- it would have been a tough sell next to the 911/928 of the day, not to mention the less expensive MR2, 300Z, Corvette,…

The tariffs that both parties keep threatening/lobbing around are terrible policy for manufacturers and buyers alike; the tariffs seem to be more about jingoism and scoring political votes, and of course consumers hypocritical demands about not buying foreign made stuff. That said, I guess in some small way this chaos…

Seems like a sweet car at a very fair price. You’re not going to fine one this nice any cheaper, so for someone looking for a fun hobby car/nostalgia trip, this could easily be your ride.

Not really surprising as these cars appeal largely to younger drivers, and those buyers have been feeling the squeeze of higher rent and other costs lately. The fun stuff is the first to hit the chopping block; at least for the wiser buyers. 

Well, we could give them better education or demand parents do a better job raising kids. So yea, you’re right.

This is the kind of thing you inherit from your granddad and drive around unapologetically, but whipping out the checkbook and writing one out for this thing is a red flag for your sanity. I truly hope it finds its way to someone that will keep the ironic awesomeness of this thing intact, but ND at that price.

Here in Trump heartland — SWFL — 90% of the Trump/FJB/Make America Great Again-decorated cars and trucks are beat up, old, and in many cases ironically foreign made. And I look at the guys driving them... mostly old guys with tobacco-stained goatees, and I think to myself, “yea, right — you’re clearly living the…

Maryland Public Television did a special on the building of the original span. If you want to see crazy, you need watch the guys nonchalantly walking around on the beams and towers.
