I drove an E30 for the first time a couple years ago. The car I experienced was the right spec, an IS with five speed, but had hail damage and a few other issues so I passed, even though cheap. Anyway, nice little package. As I get older a sporty car that is upright, but still compact and light with RWD gets harder…

Here is an older supercharged (were they all? I don't know) manual for less https://lincoln.craigslist.org/ctd/d/lincoln-2002-nissan-xterra-supercharged/7577550566.html 

Volvo is the answer there are still a few V70 6 speeds floating around, not a Jag, but still, has Grace, Pace and Space.

So has the Porsche market just decided to skip that ugly deprecation phase of Porsche life and get right down to business? It was always fun to try to time the button of the curve.

They have multiple cars (likely) or travel for work a lot or work from home, or... Think of it as a good thing, it comes out for fun on Sunday morning, not for boring commutes stuck in traffic

The dirty interior thing—I just don’t get it. You don’t have to have it professionally detailed, but picking up the McDonalds bags and such is a 5 minute job.

Land Rover V8, and they did build them for a few years in the early 70s, they just didn't sell them here in the 'states.

Looks like it has been repainted fairly recently, unless this car is a bondomobile, with shiny paint hiding lots of rot underneath this is a good deal. Go to YouTube and learn how to rebuild and tune the SU carbs (they are about the simplest carbs in the world short of the thing on your lawn mower, and you can take…

I wasn’t taking your post too seriously and had hoped mine would be viewed in the same light.  Cheers

Yeah wifey, all the random internet dudes agree the Tour-x is the shit.  That'll get her on board (sad trombone).

I totally got that Kia was trying to go more upscale with the Amanti, with a vaguely European sedan look, but I can't believe I didn't really notice the Mercedes design cues until now.  I never really thought of them as anonymous, kind of meh, but very noticable, as at the time the square egg-crate grill and square…

I totally get your point, it also seemed like the styling of the big Toyota always felt like it was very sedate and a little behind the times.  The Amanti was not a big sedan though, don't have figures, but I think it was mid-sized even for the back then when cars were a little bit smaller.

Don’t know what the franchise agreement says but there is probably something about location or exclusivity, you have to pay for the right to a franchise, you should get some benefits to go with it.

I would substitute “justifiable in the owner’s mind” for “reasonable” but money into mods doesn’t always add value, seldom adds 1-1 value, and often decreases value.

Does this fall under comprehensive coverage? Does the guy have to pay the deductible? How in the hell do you get to the conclusion that the insurance can't was liable at the trial or arbitration level?  Was the guy driving when it happened? (Possible but not likely).

I don’t think you know what evidence means. The only evidence we have that the FSD was on or off was the driver saying it was. If and when the data logs from the car and or Tesla become available we will have more conclusive evidence. You are showing a lot of bias by assuming the driver is lying, he could be lying or…

Seems appropriately priced. I would find a local cheapo paint shop that does decent work, get the thing resprayed, and take it on road trips and to car shows, I think it would excel in both environments. Nice Price.

60s pony cars, 60s and 70s American cars in general. They had big heavy V-8s in front and nose heavy weight distribution. Put slippery stuff on the ground and they would just spin their wheels. Old fashioned snow tires helped, but they were really crappy tires in general, and nothing like the special compound…

There are more cars than I thought, even on this newer, and sadly shorter, list https://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2022/02/lightest-cars-on-sale-top-10.html
