Since when has “shittiness” ever determined desirability? People pay tons of money for Deloreans, old muscle cars, any dumpster with a Ferrari badge.... it’s never about quality, it’s about emotional appeals. Check your local autotrader, I’m guessing this car is more appealing than 99% of cars in its price bracket.…

We need to have terms for “blackest pictures,” too. I want to see headlines like “IS THIS THE MOST GHETTO PICTURE EVER?” Maybe “CHING-CHONG LOL” for the Asians.

Why is this not worth $7500? It’s in near-perfect condition, it’s rare, it’s an interesting color, and it’s a “classic car.” I see 4 year-old Corollas going for more money than that. Also, $2500 cars are almost universally shit.

Nice job! You didn’t use the word “moldering” today. Gold star.

Boring.

Obviously I’m going through it right now, but really - is choosing not to be force-fed garbage ads (in the one scenario where refusing is possible) really “being above the system?” How many ads do we have to deal with? They’re on cable, on TV, on your dealer-equipped license plate frame, in apps, on the radio -…

Here’s a dose of realism: I don’t give a fuck what using Adblock does to people, I don’t care if Youtube “celebs” get paid less because of me, I DO NOT CARE, because nobody should be paid millions of dollars to scream and make faces into a webcam, and I have been advertised to constantly for literally my entire life.

I’…

I plan on doing something like this for the winter, but with an ‘03 Jetta instead.

Absolutely incorrect. Are you in first-year Industrial Design? You sure sound like it.

Nope.

Let’s be honest, those aren’t the worst wheels ever made. They kind of suit the car, actually, although the offset is a bit wonky. And the radio not working is probably an easy fix. Considering these things were almost $500k new, this is a pretty good deal.

It’s a very different feel without the airbrushed robots on the side, and with the addition of a BMW roundel, though. Right?

I love how they believe that. It’s only the first step if you believe that in the future, every possible treadable surface will be made of copper... It’s only a hoverboard if it works across any material.

Do you genuinely think that I don’t know anyone with a serious illness? I might, myself, have major health issues. The difference between you and I is that where you feel the need to school people on their ignorance, I accept said ignorance as inevitable and understandable, and choose to see the humor in their jokes.

Is this accurate? Serious question. I can see how adding inverse noise can reduce perceptible noise, but don’t your eardrums still experience more stress?

They are, but it’s not for taxi purposes, and it’s really just the same car as it used to be. Same bodyshell, same design, etc. Not practical for a modern cab.

The issue here is that the original London cab was designed with far more practicality than the Checker. Both were purpose-built IIRC, but the London cab by default had a higher roofline and more luggage space - similar to a minivan or a modern SUV. This bodystyle is pretty much the only acceptable type nowadays, so…

I hope you’re stricken with a sense of humor.

Oh, I love noise. I have a Magnaflow with a butterfly valve to a short straight-pipe on my VR6. I’m simply saying that a person who bought an electric car in the first place is not the type of person to install a noisy ICE when something goes wrong.
