Yes, stops are dangerous and many abuses occur, but you can train people and inspect all you want, but there are absolutely people who will ignore or purposefully break the rules if they feel no one is watching.

I don’t know the guy, but in my parking garage at work there is a showroom perfect ZX2 occasionally. For reasons I don’t understand Kinja doesn’t let me attach pictures anymore, but look up the picture of a silver new one and you will see the same thing.

I can't bring myself to upvote a 2.5 ton Porsche.  Sorry, no dice.

Not very attractive,  but I wouldn't know if I would even go so far as to call it ugly.  To me the ugly Honda is the 7th generation Accord, slab sided blandness.  Truly ugly

This is a 4-5000 dollar Mercedes, don't hate the modifications/look but it doesn't add value.  As Rob noted these cars are admired, but they don't bring big bucks on the collector market, an overpriced no dice (as opposed to certain pieces of stuff we see on here that to me are no dice at any price).

Though I am not exactly gawking everytime a Solara goes by the Cascada is pretty weird looking, I don’t think modern tall sided vehicles translate very well into convertibles.  A pillar look like it is sitting on top of the front wheel well.

Nice color, reasonably nice shape, 5 speed, sounds like it runs and drives fine. You could buy this, cruise around to picnics and car show on the weekend and spruce it up a little as you go.

ND, don’t want to go through life with everybody asking me where’s my package, or asking me why I was there because they didn’t hire a plumber.

Yeah, hummer, all of them, Lexus's only major miscue, the hideous SC430, comes to mind too.

Agree, I always hear about Prius drivers doing weird things and my first reaction was I never noticed, so then I started paying attention—nope, they drive like everybody else.

I’d be more comfortable sorting it out if it has a Weber or the original induction system, but the hard work, making it pretty, is done.

It is not just pedestrians it is limited vision and the negative affect on accident avoidance. A pillars are huge for crash protection and because they house airbags. Windshields are slanted for aero and styling purposes. I have had cars “ride” up the a pillar blind spot and not see them until the last minute. Rear

“He's not wrong, you know" done in best Clarkson voice

Dealer is local to me and seems to sort of specialize in older cars that aren't that special, leaning heavily into water cooled VWs.  Often has a little bit of humor or commentary in the ad copy and is pretty straightforward about telling you what you are getting.

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.
