$2,900 for a piece of Roadkill history? Sure. Just not this one.

I have a rule about never buying someone else’s deathtrap.

Interesting way to kill yourself and anyone foolish enough to be a passenger. Believe it when Consumer Reports said these little ‘Zukes will flip easily. I have friends (multiple) who crashed these things. Sticking a V8 in the ass end isn’t going to improve the dynamics of that ultrashort wheelbase.

Agreed. The problem with this car is that even though it’s a nicely preserved car that looks great, there are too many “minor” issues for that price.

I’ve told this story here before, and I’ll tell it again: Rolling the dice on the IMS bearing is a decision you don’t want to make.

You may not like the price or mileage, but this is honestly probably the best and only 997 available in this price range. You can spend about the same on an older 996 with similar mileage, but if I were in the market then I would happily put my money on this one.

thats for Catholics. 

The Accord is a good choice for a priest because it’s what Jesus drove (even though he didn’t like to talk about it much).

PopeMobile!

He needs to get an old Hearse. Start a new side business, start doing funerals, he can transport the body and then pray for them. 

Vlad the Impaler. Because that’s what’s gonna happen in a wreck.

Pretty much this. Building a stupid car is fun. Buying someone else’s stupid car is just stupid.

The music trivia is more interesting to me than the car.

In my dedication to older, usually compact and subcompact cars, I usually cite a general disregard for those who insist on all the latest safety features. Seatbelts and a wary eye ought to suffice, I usually say.

Part of the fun of owning something like this is building it yourself, so for me, automatic No Dice.

“Be sure not to scratch it!”

Hide the keys is old school dealership bullshit.

I read this in Hank Hill’s voice.
