Yeah, I think that’s been the plan, just keep it in Asia. Europe is getting a little too close to home, but luckily it’s Eastern Europe. If we need to bring it closer, hopefully we can NAFTA our way into putting it in Mexico, but worst case we stick it in Alabama.

I hesitantly went NP. It’s not rusty, it’s had some recent maintenance (though I’d want to see those receipts and others from the last couple years) and it’s a bit of a project that you can daily. All of the rubber parts on the suspension are probably due for their 2nd or 3rd replacement at this point, but you can…

I was thinking the intention was to sell but they had some valve tapping or something that needed addressing first?

The incentives out there have been very disappointing, particularly considering how disproportionately polluting older motorcycles are (less with CO2, more with everything else that a cat would catch if it was there, or particulates from all the carbureted bikes). I think a the price ceiling should be kept pretty low…

Completely speculation, but maybe one of our European friends can offer some input. I think some European countries (not sure about the Netherlands, but based on old episodes of Top Gear it seems like in pre-Brexit England anyway) class vehicles for registration and insurance by engine size or power output (since you…

Translation - “I’m going to price this high to see if anyone will pay me that, because I don’t really want to sell it but if I can get an extra 10 grand in my pocket I would”

There’s actually a lot more than I expected. I though when I clicked the manual filter they were all going to disappear except a couple very expensive ones, but the comps were still there.

I also went and looked, because it seemed a little high but I wasn’t sure of the market. There seems to be slightly newer ones with 1/2 the miles for the same ask, or similar age and mileage for $10k less (even including the gated manual option). I’m not too scared of the mileage being higher, but I’m also not too…

That’s a good point I hadn’t thought of. Since they are working against that ceiling, getting the content in there within the limit of the tax credit is a talking point. It still seems odd, though, to lead off on the topic of cost and complexity reduction and then talk about features later. But maybe this quote was…

Thank god. Now I can get caught up on Pokemon Go on my way to work. (Full disclosure, I’m playing it anyway so this is safer) Very annoying that I didn’t qualify for the initial release, but I wasn’t about to go around trying to game their system into thinking I was a safer driver (because it would have interfered…

I not saying your take isn’t correct (because “quality” has always been the question mark with Tesla) but cost efficiency and design-for-manufacturing is pretty standard to go along with any vehicle facelift. It’s basically an opportunity to incorporate designs/ideas that you didn’t have time for the first time…

You are right about the Toyota logo, but....

I agree that it could be a good base to tinker with, but I was on the fence because of the auto and the lack of interior pictures pushed me over. ND because it’s not going to be fun as it is so may as well find a cheaper base for a project.

It’s hard starting any factory and getting all of the procedures in place to ensure safety of all the workers. We focus on new automakers here, obviously, but every factory has safety issues that take time to work out (though they may be compounded by the number of large/heavy components that going into building a car…

131k isn’t crazy, and I guess it comes with the territory when you are looking for cars that haven’t been in the snow and live where they could be driven year round. There’s plenty of rusty 80-90k mile ones around me. And I’m not expecting a 50k mile show piece at this price.  But it needs solid service records and…

Looks so much better with the proper wheels, but No Dice even if it had them. Too much money for too many miles. The seller is late to the party - the prices on these have stopped climbing and you can get an equally clean one with lower miles for less money. But maybe they aren’t far off if it has the correct service…

Based on my current experiences with my Ram Promaster (a Fiat with a Dodge motor) I’m going to observe this thing from afar.

Hipsters love grandpa cars, they’d eat this shit up. And at that asking price you’d need someone whos into the grandpa or 80's gangster rap aesthetics to offload it. It would be a cool cruiser for 5 grand though (maybe I have hipster tendencies)

I thought maybe you were going to list Ram separately from Dodge, but in any case, the TRX is way worse than the Charger. I assume the Raptor R will take the title for Ford as well.
