I still love my V-Strom 650!

My '89 GB500 is great on backrooms. Rode it to Indy from Madison, WI 65 mpg & fine on two lanes. Awesome on back roads. If I want to go offroad I'll buy a used 250 enduro bike 

The typo made it to publication because they didn’t give the story a second look-over.

C4s are so cheap — you can find good, clean running examples for 5k pretty easily, and if you wanted to upgrade to C5s, those are plentiful at 10k. I’d say this is not worth the 2-3k in time and parts to get it operational when marketplace is full of half decent runners that you can take out for a test drive.

Personally wouldn’t want one for any money. The C4s are the worst Corvettes IMHO.

The Chinese will build to any level you want to pay them for, and that you are willing to spend riding herd on them to make sure they actually do. From iPhone to lead-painted kid’s toy.

Well, they have a lot of government support don’t they, as anywone with an Apple devise can attest, the Chinese can build excellent things if the price point is there.

I was around when these were new, and Honda couldn’t give them away. It sort of made sense then, a nice little British style bike with modern reliabilty and performance. Present day we find that Royal Enfield will make a brand new British style thumper and you can get 2 of them for this price. There may indeed be a…

$19,500 is a lot, but the car tries it’s best to look the part. I don’t know if the V8 swap hurts the value - maybe someone spending this much wants something all original or would prefer to spend less on a fixer-upper. I just don’t know much about TVRs other than random shit from old Top Gear episodes, and those were…

Sorry - no SX appeal here....

If they’re best forgotten, why would I want one?

It’s mainly about planning a route at a time where you can keep moving. Like when I rode back to visit my parents, I waited until after 7 and took 20 to 138 instead of 85 to 316.

I wouldn’t buy it, but the price seems fair.

It figures this Porsche is in the O.C. with more Trust Fund Felons per capita than anywhere. Home of the sort of mammothrept that would turn its nose up at a 911, water-cooled slushbox or not. I wonder what they bought it instead. Seems like a nice price to me.

I say NP; if you want one factory perfect, go find it; I’m sure several owners kept them as they started life. But if you want to actually drive and enjoy one, this is kicked up a notch, and the mileage says you don’t have to baby it or worry about that. Worse case, parts to switch it back to stock are available, and…

Thanks for breaking it down so I don’t have to watch it. I used to appreciate Munro’s insights, but as it became more and more obvious he was so far up the ass of “integrate everything until it’s a single piece car”, that’s when I tuned out.

In this video, Sandy Munro, an openly huge supporter, passive friend, and investor in Musk’s ventures (we’ll get into that later), tries to make the argument that firing a 500+ person team due to a management disagreement on the crown jewel of Tesla that is its charging services division, makes sense and that not only…

I irrationally love this artifact from before things went all grayscale. I love the steering wheel, all shiny green and fake wood. The whole interior really evokes something much older, which makes sense for the Mercury demographic.

If this exact car were mint, asking $10k would be a stretch. This one is in decent shape, but a bit too tired-looking to entertain anything remotely close to that number. No dice.

I NP’ed it for price proposition but, like I imagine most Jalops, wouldn’t actually pay to drive this uninspiring automatic, blue-drab version. That interior, especially in that shade of blue, is more Chevette than Corvette and looks to be a terrible place to spend any tine. While apples and bananas, I’d take a dollar…
