Apparently Fiat was the car to buy in the inventory crisis, as they are still trying to move cars from two years ago.

Not a Canuck, but lifelong admirer of 50s and 60s sports cars and sports racers.  I had never heard of it either, have heard of a lot of the Cobra's less well known cousins,  but definitely not this one.

Ohhhh Nnnnnnnoooo! license plate on the internet! We might as well just put seller’s pic on a milk carton, he is as good as gone.

I didn’t forget the high belt lines and poor rear visibility, CVTs and highly stressed small turbo engines, that was part of the “none of the stuff you didn’t” I mentioned but didn’t list. But yeah that is part of why I love thee the 90s too. I was a Nissan guy, had a first generation SE-R, followed by a 99 Maxima SE…

Elsewhere I told the story of looking at one of these in the late 80s, I described it as looking much worse than this one, however, the much more descriptive term would have been “looked like a dog fight took place inside it” which fits perfectly with what I vaguely remember.

This is the correct answer--nice price--for somebody else

It was maybe ‘87 or ‘88 there was a used one, not more than 4-5 years old, on a janky little gravel used car lot not far from my first home. It looked way worse than this one, they wanted $6,000 for it back then, and I thought, “wow, I could actually buy a Maserati”. I didn’t then, and I probably wouldn’t now, and…

Though I have kind of gotten used to them, the constant barrage of terms like beautiful associated with the K-G has always kind of baffled me.  Looks pretty dumpy and frumpy for a sports car.  I think the new Supra looks better in person than in the pics, surprisingly small and tidy.

This is not an easy a question as people make it out to be. Yes the police don’t need to chase someone down over a traffic stop. Most jurisdictions have put guidelines in place to restrict their use (as they should in my opinion). However, what if police never chased, as seems to be the suggestion by some here.  More…

You hit on an interesting phenomenon, I think what is considered old collector car has changed quite a bit since I was young. When I was in college there was a gal that still daily drive a TR3 in town as a daily driver. It looked ancient and of another era. Was about 25-30 years old at the time, same as your 57 Chevy.…

Looking at the pictures of this thing reminds me that 90s cars were the best cars. Everything you needed and nothing you didn’t. Reliable, airbags, power windows and locks, good HVAC, and since it is a Honda you can almost feel how the switches click silky smooth like butter through the pictures.

No, they built them LHD for export.  With a few limited exceptions they sold a lot more British sports cars over here than at home.

That is my concern as well. I have been looking for an old British autocross car because I belong to an old British car club. If this were closer to me I would take a serious look at it. While the targa would make room for my helmeted head, I am very concerned about how it affects structural integrity.

No, it just needs spark plugs or maybe plug wires, or some other cheap and easily installed part, but the seller is just too busy and would rather sell the car at a loss than make the easy fix, that is the way Craigslist works, it is a buyers paradise out there, honest...

Easiest nice price of the year so far, and that’s saying...not so much I guess. Anyway, I suspect getting it up to snuff might be a take the initial estimates of time and money and multiply them by a factor of 3 or so, but you can buy it cheap and enjoy it as you go through the fix up adventures, which is much more fun…

Point was an Act of God (a legal term not meant literally) is considered something that cannot be reasonably planned for or anticipated. The sun shines and reflects off of things most everyday, that does not seem like an unusual or extraordinary circumstance that couldn’t be anticipated, using the product in the sun…

I wasn’t real clear from the story exactly what happened other than the sun reflecting off of something, as it tends to do.  I would agree that if someone put a giant sculpture of a magnifying glass complete with the lens by a parking lot, and you parked your car in the hot spot, that could not be reasonably…

Probably could fix it by changing the plastic part to a lighter color.

I think Honda should cover it. There is an “Act of God” doctrine in the law relating to civil liability. Basically stating if something gets destroyed in a hurricane or tornado, that is an circumstance beyond anyone’s control and someone shouldn’t be liable for damages coming out of it (though you can get insurance…

I used to call about $3000 the bottom end for finding a decent car that you might be able to drive for a while without spending a lot of money on it, and nothing cosmetically so embarrassing that you would park it down the street and walk to avoid being associated with it.  Now I think that floor is closer to $5k,…
