I could almost swear I saw one of those steering wheels on a Pulsar NX one time, but I must be mistaken because google comes up with nothing. 

If so, they I hope they got a raise, because they captured it perfectly!

Plan.....

I’d watch it.

I had a Sinclair, can confirm they did not support modems. Mine did have the tape recorder to save programs, but I can not remember it actually working correctly 2 times in a row, which would be consistent with how Kinja works.

Slight ND from me, just a bit too high in mileage for that price. V6 is going to depreciate faster, no matter how nice a motor it is. 

I voted NP, but for a very specific reason. I think this would make a great base for a track day car or even a 24 hours of Lemons (I am sure you could sell and “improvise” enough to get it under the price limit).

I have never driven a 4 speed behind the 6, but I have a 3 speed. As someone else said, the clutch is very heavy. Second gear on the three speed was too high, it would wind up in first and bog down when you shifted. I wonder if this is original? It seems odd to me that someone would check the 4 speed option box with a

CP. Too much for a straight 6. This is a nice car, but it is no trailer queen and will never be as valuable as an original V8 car, which would more in line with how this one is priced.

I voted NP, and I know it is a stretch, but these things are cool, and I think they are going to be going up in value quickly. This one is even rarer, because it has both backs. I think in about 5 years (if pandemonium does not rain), this will be twice that price.

I like driving a manual. I learned to drive on a manual, and for years I would not even consider buying a automatic, but I moved on. When looking at the last car I purchased, there was one that had a manual, and I chose the automatic. I rented a Mustang GT convertible the other day, and it was an automatic. I did not

I am probably more qualified to give you advice on a good beer than investments, so you should probably not buy any stock based on my advice, but there are quite a few mutual funds that have done better than that. Should be easy to find online. I just don’t want to recommend specifics and steer you or others wrong.

Prius drivers like to be uncomfortable and annoyed. It makes their smugness to other drivers so much easier to justify, since they are suffering for the environment.

Well, the S&P 500 has actually averaged a little better than that for the last 10 years, but “Past performance is no guarantee of future results”. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But the sure thing is, you are out every dime in interest you pay to banks.

If you are going to do road trips, and want I think a G-Body (preferably with T-Tops) is the way to go. Parts are easy to get, they are actually pretty comfortable for road trips, and and scream 1980s. Road tripping with 4 in a Camero, would be a pain.

NP, but I think it is a scam. I would double and triple check everything. Something doesn’t smell right.

Here is a little lesson I call, how not to be a broke ass all your life. Here is the scenario, you find your self in need of a car, and can afford about a $425 per month payment. You have no cash to speak of, but you don’t want to be a broke ass forever. Go buy a $12000 used car, the monthly payment will be about $225

I think I would have to go with the new one, especially if I was going to daily drive it. That old one is sweet, but I don’t think I would want to drive it daily. 

Tis better to have wrenched and lost than never to have wrenched at all

The only one that has me puzzled is the Land Rover Discovery. It’s not yours. Why not just tell you friend to come and get their car? I wouldn’t spend time working on something that isn’t yours, when your own cars are in peril.
