My justification for crackpipeness is that you can get a gmt400 suburban for $1500. There just isn’t 25000 of value in this (unfinished) work.

You’re correct about it he resale being the thing. I know first hand they are less reliable than other things. And ugly. And don’t handle.

I hate SAABs, but the junkyards are full of em. So finding parts is not a problem.

And the 4.7 in the tundra is a 3uz!

I have a 1994 issue of motor trends “bang for the buck” The MR2 got second to the LT1 Z28 after nomalizing performance metrics by price. It had recently experienced a substansial price bloat, despite not really being upgraded much. I dont have the issue in front of me but It was like 25, 27k. Prior to that, when…

“11.5k is play money for all but the poorest jalops among us”

You are wildly out of touch. I dont know anyone who can afford make a $10k purchase without it having a major impact on their life, and only a couple who it is at all possible for without financing.

I’m a dissenter. Apex seals, rehab of all the plastic/rubber bits, carburetor. No thanks. And how is this better than a miata?

I know for a fact that at the Toyota Truck plant in San Antonio about 2 years back a guy got spun out* and they stopped production and carted him to the hospital. The hospital told him he was on meth, not to do meth, and charge him thousands of dollars. (He was with aerotech, a temp agency, no health insurance).

My mom too.

Competitive market forces and general technological advancement are what is to thank here, commie.

I’m 28 and still have never had a vehicle worth 10. Only a few barely over 5.

Or funded through inflation rather than taxes

I agree

Ya head gaskets. Plus they are still pretty anemic, and bad on gas.

They did put that motor into a racerep- the rc45. Common in Britain

I like the first is350 better than the current one, and the gs460 better than the current one.

I come from the future to confirm, you were right! Porsches are white hot now.

Sorry to burst your bubble, the T5 is a 4cyl

Do you have a step wife?
