C4's make me ill, but it does seem like a low price for a cheap toy. It’s got a respectable V8, decent paint and apparently it has no trouble leaving rubber on the ground. Sounds fun. NP

But this isn’t a ‘beat up’ farm truck, that’s the allure. No dents, minimal rust, low miles.....and a diesel swap. NP.

When I was 16 I was grounded from driving for a month and one day I needed a ride home from school so my mom picked me up in my car. It was a 1968 GTX, 440. And of course she didn’t just park across the street, she drove right through the “North lot” where all the cool kids hung out. Climbing into the passenger’s seat…

Cool story bro, but it’d be a whole lot easier to just fix your damn car. It’s a Volkswagen for godforsake, there’s no excuse.

No interior, no sale. CP

And I suppose their size (smaller than adults) helped too.

Mmm ham. Apparently I’m not the only pot smoker here.

One time back in the day a brand new 1998ish Corrado load of teens went off the road at high speed, (130+mph according to the cops) and rolled at least a dozen times. I lived right up the street and I was the first one on scene, (I was a firefighter at the time).

I had a 5000s sedan. And believe you me, $1200 is no bargain. That car was a frickin nightmare. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong. And I owned my 1989 in 1994. I’ll admit, when it was road worthy it was a pleasure to drive, but I can’t even imagine the headaches another 2o+ years would add. CRACK PIPE!!!

The best part was being linked to Yahoo. It’s been over 10 years since I last checked my email, and apparently I have 14K new messages to read. Oh and CP on the 4x Rabbit.

No, not by my calculations 

You’d be surprised. It was a very long, straight stretch (slightly downhill) through Nevada, but I hit almost 120.

I believe him. I hit a rabbit in an old 190TD MB doing over 100 and it nearly totaled the car, (valiance, radiator, fan, water pump etc). Now I always swerve.

Agreed that financing a “toy” is a poor choice; save your money, then buy your toys. But if you need to sell it and the bank has the title you might try paying off the loan with one of the “Zero interest for 18 months” credit card balance transfer offers that you get in the mail every day. The bank will send you the…

I tell you what, I’ll lock them up for a decade and permanently revoke their driving privileges, and you give them your hug therapy. In ten years we’ll compare notes.

My dad fought the first war against the North, and now it looks my 17 year old son will fight the second. How cool is that?

Spoken like a true liberal. We’ve tried your way, every conviction already comes with counseling and classes, and look where it got us; 10,000 deaths a year. This country has never truly punished drunk drivers. The average first offender only spends a weekend in jail. That’s bullshit and doesn’t deter anyone.…

Rough night? He blew nearly double the legal limit on the side of a busy street, (in a no-parking zone) at 3:00 on a Monday afternoon. That’s hardly the same as sleeping off a bender in your car.

They didn’t tell me anything, I never even talked to the cops, they didn’t even know it was me who called. I was sitting quietly on a bench 10 feet from them pretending to listen to music, and I heard them read the breathalyzer to they drunk guy. I wasn’t about to argue with them over their decision; I know they…

He was in control of the vehicle and had the cops not shown up he would have driven away. That’s not enough for you? The law says it is. He should have gone to jail. He will most certainly drive drunk again, because...wtf, right?
