Don't think it is fundamentally unfair, nobody gave Riccardo fast lap.  Have the guy in the points lead punt off their competitor at the end of the season and we can have a nice, long, conversation about fairness.

Username checks out

I came here for the 2nd generation MR2 righteous indignation, was a little disappointed it didn't rise to the bonfires and pitchfork level.  I am not a 2nd generation fan, little too much bar of soap styling for me. 

2nd generation SC was hideous when it came out, car's beltline is so high, other cars kinda caught up over the years, but anyway, ugly when it came out, still ugly now.

I think it is cool, but without most all the original bits, especially in the interior, the truck is of less interest at that price or any price.  I don't think old car enthusiasts eyes would glaze over at hearing the story, much better than my Corvette is one of only 74 produced with the polo white exterior and port…

Interesting story.  I don't think any CEOs die penniless anymore.  If they fail spectacularly they get a multi-million dollar buyout and or another opportunity at some other company.  Once you get into the money club they set you up for life these days.

I have autocrossed dozens of cars, mostly older than the 924/944—so coming from a different perspective I guess. My main complaint about the cars are they are a little big and the driving position is not good, though a smaller diameter steering wheel helps in that department.

This thing is a Corrolla, and yes, millions were made, rusted away, cast aside, but this one isn’t just a Corolla.

Actually I was thinking $4500 would be about right, but agree in general principle it is a bit janky and way overpriced

I am sure I am in the minority, but I think these look better than the 944. Part of the reason they feel slow is first and second gear are kind of tall, so they don’t exactly fly off the line.

Can't argue with the slow part, but "don't handle great"?  These cars have lots of stick with decent tires and are great fun to chuck around 

Miata is Always...blah blah blah. Get creative and practical.

Obviously didn’t want her to go down in a blaze of glory

I can't believe it, after years of promoting huge vehicles with tax incentives, safety standards favoring turret topped tanks, and even EPA standards adjusted to aid the bigness, they are finally going to look at how a truck with a 5' tall bluff front end might make it less likely to see a pedestrian and more likely…

I consider myself pretty open to most any old car in good, stock condition having some value, but these things were neither attractive, nor fun to drive or reliable when new. They don’t even really have a certain nostalgic of the era feel like a VW Rabbit convertible of the era would. I suppose this thing has some…

I saw the resulting article, it didn’t see the source until now. I kind of have the same weird Jones for the type 34. I remember seeing one on the street growing up, this Karmann Ghia that was different, then after a while wondered if it wasn’t some crazy memory, never heard or saw any more about them for years.

I could probably not be that bold, but I think your 911 is going to look awesome when done.  Impressed with the creation and pursuit of the vision.

Oh, Firebird I guess

I believe one of the back sparkplugs is accessed through the footwell

Scarab is a good one, it if you want to go even more obscure there is the Bocar, kind of the same idea as the Scarab, but less money and notoriety behind them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bocar
