Any chance we can chain Captain Cheeto to the helm and watch him go down with the ship?  

I dunno. It’s notable for its performance and maybe its design, but is it really historic? I mean, if it was named the “SS Lancaster” do you think there would be half as much interest in saving her? 

It’s going to be cool to see her underway on the last voyage. It’s bittersweet to see a grand old lady like this retired, but this one is long past saving and clearly no group/city/foundation sees any value in pouring untold millions into the rehab, insurance, mooring, upkeep, etc that this thing would require. Bon…

Absolute NP. Lots of potential buyers for this thing — new/teen driver, collector, middle aged nostalgia buyer, summer/beach runaround car, FL retiree, or frankly anyone with a $4K budget that needs something generally reliable. 

In this case it’s the journey, not the destination. Literally.

Ironic that so many of the right-wing nut jobs adopted the “Don’t Tree on Me” flag over the past few years and then elected a government that literally by design is planning to talking away rights by the bucketful. IMHO every true supporter of the Constitution, every Harris voter, and everyone with open eyes ought to…

Price seems a tad high for the conditions but really, you aren’t likely to find another one of these anytime soon and the buy price is just the beginning on what could be a very fun restoration project (and one that you could probably fit in your garage, too). If it were closer to me I’d be making plans to go look at…

Man, that’s clean. Tip of the hat to whoever took care of this thing all those years.

A German car that tries to differentiate itself on tech? And a company that’s a kissing cousin to VW, too? Good heavens, they might as well hype up the service departments in the ads, too, because I’d expect to spend a lot of time there. 

“Everyone in the cyber truck survived”. Nice way to obfuscate the truth and ignore the person that was flung from the wreck and is in critical condition.

I have to say I’m more disappointed than shocked. I couldn’t even watch the results last night as I thought there was a good chance this was coming. My only hope is that enough of the MAGA politicians now realize that they’re going to own the blame for whatever harm they do and show some little bit of common sense and…

Hell, Trump probably approved it. 

I used to have a C3 Corvette with the filler up there in the middle of the rear deck. I think that anxiety took a cumulative 6 months off my life.

Good luck with that. Maybe at 1/4 the price, but I don’t see a lot of collectors kicking a Porsche or Ferrari out of the collection to make room for something like this.

Neat car, but why would you want to spend $8K on it plus the costs to store, maintain and drive it? It’d be akin to finding your granddad’s flashlight from 1970 in the bottom of an old toolbox. Sure, it still works, but it’s dim, heavy, and practically useless compared to anything else made in the last 20 years.

This. Plus it’s safer in general and more convenient not to have to walk around the car to fill up. And having the pump on the side of the car closest to the driver means you’re less likely to be exposed to rain, snow and anything else that lurks out there in the darkness.

It’s literally impossible to understate the damage that these guys could cause to the United States and to the planet. It’s incredible that we even have to consider the possibility of it all.

Heck yea, NP! I’ve also always kind of had an eye out for one of these things... reliable, roomy, simple and retro-cool. If this were within 100 miles of me I’d be going to look at it with cash in hand.

Can’t wait for the first court case where a lawyer goes before the judge and tells her that the toddler his client just creamed is “an edge case”. 

Sure, the proposed 100% tariffs on everything from agent Orange will destroy the economy from all angles. In my original post I’m just saying that the Biden tariffs would be effective in hindering the wave of low-cost Chinese vehicles. I’m not saying it’s good for the consumer on the retail level.
