The U.S. has become the culture of me rather than the culture of we, and unapologetically I might add.  Huge vehicles make me safer, putting my kid who is just learning to drive makes my kid safer, and everybody around them less safe.  In addition wastes resources and hurts the environment more, wears the roads out…

My Saab Sonett had a Ford Taurus V-4, and the later four cylinder was developed by Triumph, so yes, certainly some of the major components were outsourced.

So, there is a lot to process here. It’s a manual wagon in good shape which is definitely a good thing.

I think the comment about BMWs looking like Matchbox cars meant Hot Wheels cars.  Matchbox are generally scale models, Hot Wheels generally have oversized, low profile wheels and exaggerated or modded features.  Which got me to thinking, maybe modern car designers owned a lot of Hot Wheels as a kid.

I talk to a lot of people who say that is what they like, and it is such a no win, nuclear arms race kind of thing it is frustrating. We need more nukes because Russia has more nukes. We need to be in big battering ram of a vehicle that can see over other big battering ram vehicles. I also think it is the overall…

Maybe because I like them I am biased, but I agree, a new Ferrari sorta says “I want to attract younger and prettier people than I normally could in the worst way that probably just want to glom onto me for my money, and I don’t care”. Rolling up in a BMW 3.0CS says I have some taste and class.

It is vehicles like this that make me realize I don't dislike trucks, I dislike lifted, three ton, personal transportation devices.  This was built to do work and looks like it.  No rust, and simple,solid mechanicals.  Nice Price.

I will add that the styling of these things has really grown on me.  Mostly because most anything with a low beltlines look so much better to me than modern cars.

Yeah, beat me to it, I was expecting a low mile, stock car.  While this thing might not be Fubar, none of the stuff added makes me want to pay more for it.  I was maybe in with the first exterior pic, and definitely out with the first one of the interior.

Maybe add a little color...don’t know how anybody can call that ugly.

Although I am not an expert on these, this 80s model feels much more like a GM parts bin model than the earlier cars.  That coupled with the smaller size and FWD may actually make it a more practical car, but a less desirable Cadillac.  Looks to be a nice example, but I don't see it as desirable enough to demand the…

I felt like I was already windy enough with my comments, but yes, exactly, an asthmatic MGB, common as dirt will set you back as much as this TR8.  Which makes the TR seem like a pretty good deal.

The TR7 first came out as a coupe only, it was a modern sports car after years of archaic roadsters from England, performance adequate for the day, not much different than the contemporary Porsche 924 and RX7, and a comfortable if not fancy cockpit. They sold very well for the first couple years.

Yeah, maybe it is a generational thing, but the C3 had way too long a run, and during that run it lost power and looks. The C4 was considered a revelation when it came out, and power and performance improved throughout the production run. The C5 is also fugly, so that doesn’t help either.

This car is kind of like an old Adam Sandler movie, nobody will argue it’s a great movie, but it is cheap entertainment. No one is going to argue this is a classy or beautiful or coveted car, but relatively cheap and could be kind of fun.  Nice Price.

So if you are going to drive it you might as well buy a higher mileage (but still low mileage and pampered C4 Corvette) for a lot less money. If I was going to spend $50,000 for a car to lock up and admire in my garage to swoon over from time to time this copper topped Corvette would not be it.  Maybe a museum would…

Beat me to it, I may be behind the times but I thought you could still get nice ones for quite a bit less than that, but I haven't seen one for sale locally for a long time.

As of my vote at exactly 50/50. This caddy looks to be clean, original, and rust free. A 60s caddy in similar shape will cost much more, and these end of the era, gas-guzzling dinosaurs have nowhere to go but up.

The seller can’t be bothered to clean out snack bag and seat cover that appears to sporting a butt crack sweat stain to take more flattering pictures of the car? I am all out and grossed out. No Dice.

I have been aware of these for some time, and they have always been kind of hard to figure out small european two seater, minimal, weather protection or creature comforts, but it’s not a sports car. Styling sort of looks like a Jeepster.
