Always me: once I get to work, how would I charge it?
Them: take battery, charge in your office.
Me: *Someone gets it. **tear.

My rule is always “for this money, how much GTI or STI could I buy, which is faster, and which would I rather have?”

In this case, I break my own rule and bestow NP. I just think it’s awesome.  I love it inexplicably.

I acutally take a slightly modified method:

1) How much of something else desirable could I buy for X dollars?

2) Would I rather have #1 or today’s featured item for sale?

My mind usually goes in the late-or-comparable-year VW GTI up to a certain amount, then other-German as the price goes up when discussing a car. It…

I agree with that to an extent. I mean, I’d love an old Alfa, both because and even though I’ve driven one.

Maybe my calculus was based on “Well, this doesn’t really do it for me in terms of beauty, so it has to be fast...and it’s not that either”.

Anything not genuinely beautiful has to be fast or cheaper than $60k.

60k buys a lot of something else. Something a lot faster.

It’s great to end 2020 on something we can all agree on.

I was going No Dice, but the slow unravelling of the perks, power, and features was like a siren song.   Man, that island with the beasts that will eat me?  Those sharp maintenance rocks? Maybe it is a good idea.  Let’s point the ship over there and check it out...

I can confirm this. Also, trains take you through the industrial, nasty parts of every American city. The people on the train have been on for hours and hours, so they smell terrible. The food is awful when they have it. The train rocks side to side much more than you were ready for. People are both gross and loud.

Also…

As this is what I would do with it on my country-heavy commute, this is a seriously persuasive comment.

While I completely believe everyone else that their non-S is more than adequate, and I’m now about 10x more open to the idea of a non-S Cayman...I had a similar experience with my own wife. We drove a bunch of plain-gas and TDI Golfs and whatnot, then we drove the GTI, just for fun. There was no going back.

I’m not…

Me, sitting in my literal beige 4-cylinder Camry: “Hmm...tisk...not an S, huh?”

Nice price, for sure.  And I’m sure it’s genuinely 10x better than anything I’ve ever had.  But...knowing there are “S” models out there that I didn’t reach for would eat at me.   

When I was a teen, I drove my parents’ 1986 Suburban. It had the 350, not the 454. My friends drove dumpier cars from the same era.

I don’t think any of us could get to 60 in less than 10 seconds.

Did that stop us from racing each other down an empty road literally every school day on the way to school? No, it did…

Well, for that matter, some years, alone, are nearly determinative.

“1984...”

Okay, stop. There is now a rebuttable presumption of CP. Unless it’s something by Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Alfa Romeo, or perhaps something custom and really interesting like a Baja Bug or an engine-swapped something, the price had…

95% of the time I see the price and one photo and I know how I’m voting. so I feel you.

Friends: a protocol question. Are we required to read the ad to comment, or can we take the summary as gospel? I don’t want to maintain noob status around, but I’ve also got things to do with my day.

The imposter isn’t going to find himself, sus or not.

It’s officially on my list of cars I want!  Thanks for the info.

I have never seen this car before and I adore it. It...I mean, 13k for 140 horsepower is not even close, but I still love it. Unfortunately, from the front, it looks like it should have a genuine v-12 Aston Martin type growl. I have never heard a 140-horsepower Fiat engine, but I’m thinking that the sound will feel…

I likey. But $6k is ratty-used-GTI money.  Fun-per-dollar ratio is just not there.  Occasional snow hooning notwithstanding.

Great memories of this truck, this year, this color as a Mormon missionary in Houston. In addition to the usual door-knocking and whatnot, I was in charge of keeping the missionaries’ apartments stocked with second hand furniture and mattresses.

Great story on management: I was given a special assignment. I was given a…

It’s utterly without basis in evidence, but my car-buying mind simply cannot consider a used Chrysler of any kind. Something about a 90's Dodge Dakota I once rode it, that weird mouse-fuzz upholstery. It was new and still had a feeling of an old, dirty car.  Experiences like that at a formative age are hard to shake.
