“Ask for them to throw in the Jorts and New Balance shoes” From dead dad’s closet? That is kind of cold

I learned to drive with a three on the tree Plymouth Duster my dad bought new. A practical man, he said the gearshift made more sense by the steering wheel because it was a shorter reach to get to it. I believe the car was a ‘74, and I imagine the on the tree thing was on its last legs for American passenger cars.

Wow, only six speeds, they must all be slow (sarcastic dig at the article headline just to be clear)

Although the article’s explanation is pretty decent, the headline is ridiculous. Slate for titling a story with it, and Jalop for saying it is a “good question”. I guess it is good in the sense that the only bad question is one you don’t ask, but it demonstrates little to no knowledge about cars by the questioner.

XT had much funkier interior including asymmetrical steering wheel, much funkier looks, it looks stranger in person than in the picks, very angular for any era, adjustable ride height, lowest drag coefficient of any production car sold in America at the time.  The SVX was a Camry in comparison.

“arguably Subaru’s most eclectic car”

I saw the other comment about that, hope springs eternal I guess. If the national exposure and deep pockets on BaT didn’t get him what he wanted, I just don’t think it is going to happen at that price.

Just saw your post after I made my comment about this being a fantasy price even on a BaT listing. Validated.

Love the wagon, nice looking, functional sporty, everything a Jalop could want in a car (I guess you could paint it brown and swap a diesel into it, but we will call it good as is). The price however...I don’t know if even Bring a Trailer could get you into the high twenties for this 30 year old wagon.  Knock $10…

Senna raced for Williams, but I didn’t see his name mentioned. Senna beats them all.

Looks like a misbegotten child of a Porsche 356 and a Tatra that died in childhood

Two Triumphs and a Jagyouarrrre.  Great list

Agreed, price it cheap, I don’t care about a dent in the tailgate, but for the premium price I want everything good.

I was not quite there (nice price) but I was seriously thinking about if you could justify it, great spec, reasonable miles (for a Toyota) tons of life left, still a lot for a 15 year old truck. Then I got to the tailgate part. Not much of an issue but big deal on a premium priced car.

When I was little I would wake up very early in the summer and walk around the neighborhood by myself (different times). One day I spotted something so different and accessible (to a little guy like me back then) I was just smitten. It was a red TR3, spending the night at a house it normally didn’t live at (I only saw…

When these were built sports car driving me thought of them as a flabby wanna be, oversized and too soft. I saw one (much more derelict than this example) the other day, and next to modern cars it looked petite and kind of attractive. Still not exactly my cup of tea, but I am warming to it. They haven’t aged badly, as…

Lets just make everything SUVs and be done with it (insert sad face emoji here)

I put the value at no more than a decent, driver quality, MGB. Apparently BaT agrees.

I thought the complaint was that people drove their Prius's too slowly, I agree, that one is a stupid complaint.  Brick like 3 ton SUV going fast fine, aerodynamic small engines car going fast not fine?? Huh?

The exterior is...interesting...the redone interior is hideous, and looks like there would be no knee room.  The story is made up, and I can't see this thing being worth much more that a driver quality MGB.
