Yeah, I don’t think you want an airbag coming out of that steering column as it flies backwards towards your face.

Oh sure, the Jeep kit costs $49 but the frowny-grill kit, lift kit, mud tires/wheels, LED light bar, “Jeepin’ “ spare-tire cover and Punisher stickers push it to$135 and then I still have to buy the Lego Mall Parking Lot kit to pose it in.  This fucker is a major investment at that point.

Mr. Oswald, you are correct.  It’s not a smart buy.  But since when have gear head kids made smart buys?  We drove some dumb shit back in the 80s. Rust buckets stuffed with big blocks, everything worn out and on its last legs. Blew a lot of them up. Good times lol.  

Dodge shamelessly phoned it in with these cars.

“This time death for me was here [gestures.]  Don’t ask me why, I just had to put a name on it and I called it Benoit.”

I had a whole series of rental cars about 6 years ago while my car was in the body shop, and the Dart was easily the most entertaining to drive of all the compact cars that I drove in succession, including the Corolla, Sentra, Kia and Hyundai competitors.

That’s both fascinating and horrifying. I remember commenting on a previous article that he was lucky he wasnt trapped. I had no idea it was this close!

Yeah, the comments in here are pretty harsh. People act like driving a car hard will immediately make the engine explode. You can treat cars pretty bad and they’ll still be serviceable. You wouldn’t believe the beaters you see that have been flogged for 200k+ miles, blow blue smoke, but still keep chugging.  I can…

Would I personally buy this?  No.  Would a teen or young twenty-something?  Hell yeah.  $4500 isn’t a ton of cash, and this will make a great bad investment for someone.  I voted NP. 

Well there are no rules, but there is another school of thought that says you should decide whether the price is market correct, or the featured car is a POS you wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.  There is always a lot of subjectively, but considering the variety of cars and owners featured here, applying the would…

But No one else but that teenager would probably be in the market for this car modified like this. It's perfect for that age. it was a good car for my girlfriend's son until he wrapped it around a curb.

Say you are a 16 year old, you have some part time job cash saved up, and want to fiddle with mods and tunes instead of driving the family hand me down. This is cheap and should be fun enough to drive and mess with for this low price, and modern enough to be relatively safe and pack modern features. Fvck it, NP.

Didn’t think I’d EVER vote Nice Price for a Dodge Dart, but hell, for $4500 I’d take a chance on this. Looks well-maintained and it’s close enough to fud-it money to be worth the risk.

“ sport bikes which are far more dangerous than the Sprite”

During more dramatic maneuvers it looks like the rim will simply dig into the road surface and provide additional control, so everything will be just fine. (sarcasm, of course)

“survives to this day” is a fucking odd turn of phrase for a race car that can’t be more than 2 years old given the grill treatment (Kia’s new grill)

I would expect that to be said for an original can am car or something actually, you know, vintage....

I’m one of those fools that voted NP.

The one that really bugs me is the Tesla practice of discounting the cumulative 6 year Potential Savings into the up-front sales price and the monthly lease or loan payment.

Sure, but this car was about celebrating it’s LeMans history as well, the GT40 and it’s modern interpretations are halo cars. This newest version allowed Ford to flex a bit while having a chance to win an important historic race & anniversary and add another priceless car to it’s history.

I grok. My parents were derisive and dismissive when present, but mostly silent, cold, or absent. My epiphany day was around age 8, alone at Christmas. Of course I grew up forming relationships with machines, comparisions to “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” deserved. Apparently, Edward Furlong did, eventually, have a…
