This smacks of the show "Debt" that failed miserably a few years back. As someone who has had a repo in his past and nearly ended up on Jeopardy teen week in the early 90s, I'd hope this would have come around when I lost a job a few years back and couldn't pay my car payment anymore.

More than double the power, a proper manual transmission, super-clean finish, and better gas mileage than its 262-powered original form?

@Bueller: I like the current Cadillac lineup, and I know this thing is armored better than most third-world countries, but the proportions are just all-wrong

Now playing

@Party-vi: One of my favorite, guilty-pleasure chase scenes in a movie. An H-van, a mk1 LHD Granada with a manual transmission, and one of the best juxtapositions of music to chase ever...

@buffcoat and beaver: It's ordinary. I like the simplicity of the coupe design. The facelift was ugly, but far from the ugliest car ever

@krasny: I can speak to the "less visibility" because my roommate has one and changing lanes requires assistance from whoever is in the back seat

@Mr.Marmalade: Your name... reminds me of a disturbing play I saw a few years ago. It was the name of the antisocial imaginary friend of a young girl whose mother had a string of dysfunctional relationships. Is it related?

Wow - a lot of Chrysler 300 and Hyundai Genesis sedans...

"Um, sir... you left an extra zero at the end of the price tag."

@472CID: It sold on Ebay about a year ago and the new owner had a lot of pictures of this car on a 442 forum.

The guy doesn't deserve that treatment just because he's rich. If he was a dick, then maybe... like the time I dropped a dollop of axle grease on the windshield of an E46 M3 whose driver cut me off, brake checked me, and flipped me the bird because I wouldn't get out of his way.

Have you ever seen a car photo that is so beautiful and stunning that you don't notice the typo in the accompanying article?

@rebelracer6: Because it was too rare, too expensive, and a miserable failure on the track

@Issoa442: I googled it and the big block olds was actually right next to the driver - still mid engined - it was actually a 71 or 72 and it was run in the baja 500 and the seven-eleven, which became the Mint 400. Here's a link from 442.com:

@Интернет космонавт: It was the first desert race car with a mid-engine setup - 455 olds with a toronado transmission behind the driver seat - for better weight distribution. It was also completely and absolutely batshit crazy

It's this - James Garner's 1970 Olds 442 Banshee -

@tonyola: The major difference is that the jerk with the sign is relegated to the fringe.
