Disappointed in you, Ford. You had the choice between helping people or hurting people, and you choice to hurt. You had the chance to stand up to hate or agree with it, and you agreed with it. You had the chance to take away these bigots power by simply ignoring them, but you chose to give them credibility.

Tough call for me, too, but I’m going to say NP. This is a rare bird so if it’s the configuration you want, get it while you can. Presumably anyone in the market for just this combo is going to be fairly handy with a wrench so another 100K miles or so seems like a pretty sure thing.

Well, I for one have never heard of this one. Only been driving for 35 years so you’d think I’d know about it....

I just bought a base 2024 Sport as what I suspect will be a last fling with the availability of a simple, analog, 6-speed manual fun car.  The damn little thing is more fun to drive than anything I’ve ever owned before. I don’t need or want anything faster, more luxurious or flashier. I’ll likely keep this little gem…

So I just looked up the specs on this thing. Should do about 30mpg on the highway and it has a 23.8 gallon tank — so that’s about 700 miles between fillips. And this “beast” weighs in at just 3836 lbs. A 2024 911 Turbo is just a few pounds behind at 3646. Crazy.

In regards to animals, I think you need to program the car to stay on the road at all costs. Presumably a self-driving car will know how much room it needs to stop and also how far back the car behind it is driving. At that point it can try coming to a safe stop, but if it can’t the animal is going to have to take it.…

The biggest thing with finding a reliable used car is honesty — with yourself. You have to realize that you’re looking for something that’s dependable, NOT something that’s cool, fun, rare, or a platform for your inner Fast-n-Furious child. For $5-8000 there’s a world full of Corollas, Accords, Ford Fusions, later…

I was going to say the same thing. For the right person — say someone that works in one town and drives 300 home to another every weekend -- something like this would be an effortless, comfy highway cruiser that you could drive for years without wearing out or depreciating your daily driver. And even cockroaches would…

Even if the motor is a gem, the rest of the car is going to slowly and steadily fall apart around you. This was the era of so-much-plastic-everywhere in VW/Audis. There’s a reason you never see VAG product of this time on the road anymore.

Just joined that FB group. It’s awesome.

Agreed; I feel like people that associate THAT MUCH of their being/personality/identity in some overdone car are pretty shallow, uninteresting individuals. They tend to be judgmental and snooty about whatever car YOU own, and if you DO try to engage them – even to compliment their car -- they give you this vibe like…

I could hear and feel that car flex when I clicked “ND” with my mouse. No freaking way.

Everything appears to be there, but everything appears to need to be replaced, too. The seats, the carpet, the wood dash, the interior trim, the rusty seat belt latches, etc. I bet even the toggle switches are corroded. And this is the easy stuff you can see... I can only imagine the mechanical horrors you’ll run into…

I suspect Boeing and NASA didn’t want a PR disaster, either. I agree — right decision because a tragedy isn’t good for any of the players, period.

Logged in to say this myself. If you’re stupid enough to make your car harder to see when braking, you probably shouldn’t be driving.

That silver/chrome plastic that was used just about everywhere hasn’t aged well. I think it’s the one element that really dates these cars.

I’m 54 and I too nearly had a heart attack seeing this car and price. I don’t think it’s worth $1,695, let alone $16,950.

Chevy HHR. I rented one once and drove it across all of Nevada and Arizona and honestly thought it was a decent little car. Held lots of stuff, decent stereo, and funky in its own way. I even started thinking about getting an HHR SS panel after that, but I couldn’t quite make the leap.

I’ll agree with you and give you a star, but this isn’t a hill I’m willing to die on.

I’m going to be the contrarian here and say NP IF you’re one of the 4 or 5 people in the world that want this car and want it modified this way — but I doubt that the seller is going to find his 4 other automotive soulmates on Craiglist. Like everyone else on here I’d have no interest in this car, but that doesn’t…
