So the bathroom door handles are dirtier than the toilets because the toilets are cleaned...huh?, I assume they are cleaned between flights, never seen them cleaned regularly between uses.

My first house had a driveway running immediately next to the neighbors, with our houses immediately next to the driveway on both sides. Garages towards the back of the lots.  You had to move a lot of snow to scoop that driveway.  I sympathize. 

I hate the cold, the worst thing about driving in the winter is getting in a cold car. Then you read all the articles about how warming your car up is not necessary and also adds to emissions. All the crap they put on modern cars I don’t give a shit about, put a good instant on heater, I would pay for that option. How…

There are still stickers on the tires--in 2011, I am guessing it is still wearing those little used, but aged out meats.

Quite sure this is a scam, all pictures dated 2011 and ad copy says "You won't be able to find this car anywhere" I'm out

I have a an old British sports car that is unsurprisingly creaky, and an 1988 Porsche 924S which is surprisingly creaky.  Compared to those cars... my frame of reference may be different than yours🙃

I love the nineties. They had figured out electronic engine controls and cars were making power again. Not present day power but a nice steady progression, cars were reliable and smooth and a fast car could idle and cruise down the road well, a good handling car didn’t have to rattle your fillings.

I was with you til the end.  I owned one too, wouldn't mind having a nice one (if they still exist) today.  Not fast by today's standards, but wouldn't call it slow.  Where does creaky come from? Mine felt solid as a rock up to the 120,000 miles or so I sold it at.

I get some Aston Martin vibe from the front at least, thing is you can get a real one from about the same price used, so once again, why?

I don’t know specifics, but generally speaking, Volvos of this era are pretty stout, and run for hundreds or thousands and sometimes millions of miles, I think the rear axle is probably ok with a few extra ponies.

The car to its left looks like an Alfa GTV

If you are so proud of your fucked with Volvo that you think it can bring unfucked with Volvo money, maybe you could be bothered to pull it out of the shop and take some decent pictures to show its beauty (or fuckery depending on how you view it) in all its glory. No Dice with a baseball bat

“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.
