Everyone knows Seattle is for living on boats, not busses!

That’s a good point. I guess not having haggled from a non-cash purchase, I can’t say if you’d get a better deal or not.

Okay. I can see that.

The Ruf Yellow Bird 911 helped me realize that flared turbo 911's aren’t all of that. Keep it nimble!

I’ve taken an interest in the Lancia Fulvia Coupe and the Dino 308 GT4. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be buying them and painting them red, because “Italian car means red”. The Italians had fantastic color palates for these cars when new, it was only their racing cars that were red!!! (Ferrari and Alfa just didn’t…

This would fit my classic car bug quite nicely. I’d pay extra for it if/when I was buying. An e28 M5 would be in the next stall. 

Why didn’t I go looking for one of these in 2006, when they were $9K for a good one??!!! I’d even strip out the bad electronics. I just want to drive it, and occasionally bring the family.

I like the 964, but my nostalgia button is definitely those accordion-bumper, 80's 911s. Put a slim whale-tail on it and I’d hold my breath, while slowly walking or driving past.

You get a star for that GTO in a color other than red. Sweet!

What kind of car do you drive that it’s broken every weekend? My 14 year old cars only needed a couple of checkups a year (by a reputable mechanic) and a major repair ($400-$700, and one $1200 transmission) every few years. Maybe I’ve been lucky with my used cars, though.

So if you accidentally get a bad apple at the gr0cery store, you’ll never buy apples again? You’re missing out on a possible good marriage. Then again, I don’t know what your standards are for partners. It helps to learn how to choose your apples.

Or negotiate a lower car purchase price, because you’re using cash and can skip all of the fine-print bullshit and get down to haggling!

“Naw! Nothing ever bad happens to people like me!” (Promptly rams flying car into side of building.)

I’m just tired of the overblown hype around them. They’ve been around for 70 years, and no one has made them practical or fun.

I looked at this and thought, ‘Meh, it’s a 1968 Corvette blended with an Opel of the same year.” Then I looked at the date. Whoa! Did Chevy designers steal this concept??? No surprising, since it happened a lot, but still.....

Aaaaaah! Ooooh! Aiee! That looks SO awesome! Like a little Supra! Oh, to know of some place in Canada where I could buy one of these and store it before the prices go up. (Not to sell, but for my personal enjoyment. I don’t ‘invest’ in automobiles.)

Ah, but that’s the thing. They were/are “daytime running lights”, which means they’re on every moment that the car is on, but the ‘night-time’ headlamps are not. You didn’t have to think about them, as you had no control. It’s a Canadian idea which didn’t work here, because people would forget to put on the proper…

Were the headlights actually on? I know many Saturns had mandatory daytime running lights, which are different from the full on headlamps. I remember this because they were the only American car at the time that I knew to have daytime running lights.

That’s your problem, not his.

That’s not a big convertible, so you’re okay.
