Inventory is scarce for everything, not just EVs, so everybody is pre-ordering.

Would help if the IRS didn’t incentivize the purchase of large truck and SUVs. Under rule 179 business can deduct up to $25,000 of a vehicle of over 6000 pounds gross vehicle weight on their tax returns, even if the “commercial vehicle” is an Escalade they take the kids to soccer practice in.

The argument against the new car isn’t just the “they should have to earn it, so they will appreciate it” thing or the "rich kids, rich parents thing", it is the teenager will wreck their first car so don't spend too much money to on it thing. I know you have been insurance, but nevertheless, most aren't ready to be…

It is a nice clean design, I have always thought they were a good looking car.  If they had made them for two years instead of twelve and there weren’t squadzillions of them still around they would be in high demand.

Starred for Runza awareness

Last I checked (admittedly has been a good long while) these were $20k cars in good condition. C4s are currently the “least desirable” of the ‘vette generations, but ten years ago it was C3s, and in a few years it will probably be the C5s, this is a nice price and you should be able to both have fun with it, and have…

Car looks to be very well cared for, but have seen with similar miles for $10k less.  This is no dice at asking price.

And the crazy Brazilians even built a transition type car after all this happened, the VW Gol had a fwd Audi chassis and air cooled VW motor.

Not for all the outlets on the same circuit you powered up.

Axes, Hammers, Utility Knives, etc.  Don't grab the sharp end or hot anything you shouldn't and all will be ok.

Perhaps the most significant and starkest contrast in car development, the VW Beetle was sold alongside the Rabbit in te United States from 1975-1977.   I realize not the same model name, but the Rabbit was definitely the replacement for the Beetle, and a huge change for VW.

Had the same thoughts, but substitute Toyota Camper

There was one of these that popped up regularly on the outer edge of my daily regional Craigslist search a few years back,I think they wanted $7-8k for a car with less rust and in better shape and a better color (I think dark blue). Was tempted, but no space and resources at the time.

Between the condition and the fact that many of f the mechanical bits seems to be off the shelf and fairly mundane, so hopefully both fairly reliable and easy enough to fix.

Everybody gripes about the clickbait articles on Jalop, but the real enthusiast stuff like this doesn't seem to generate many comments, so...anyway, thanks for posting this, keep the stories like it coming.  E9 is on my bucket list, unfortunately, as a tail end boomer, the front and middle end generational cohorts…

This looks to be in good shape for it’s age. No major mechanical issues as described interior surprisingly good, manual transmission. At 2400 pounds or so these are the among the lightest cars you could get in the States, even back then. A Good thing if you like small, sporty cars.   believe the GTS came with a 6…

Put it in your wedding or other ring, I wear one everyday, don’t even think about it. Fun fact, as I have gotten older and my joints have swollen I am quite sure a thief couldn’t remove my ring without either a. My cooperation, or b. Cutting my finger off.  Probably a good thing if I were to encounter a lazy,…

Best article on Jalopnik in a long time, keep up the good work.

Yeah that is pretty much what I think, the overall shape isn't bad, though the interior is pretty horrendous.  Anyway not "crack pipe at any price" to me,  but still way overpriced.

There ought to be a word for something obscure that you would never think of or remember unless you are reminded of it.  Maybe that word could by Tommykaira
