Late to this party, but I’ll share here. My dad had a 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix. He’s not a car guy and he LOVED that car. Loved it. Still talks about it when I change the subject to cars. He’d probably still have it, but he doesn’t. He was on his way to his sister’s house for Passover seder with two dozen gefilte fish…

This is some bro-tastic stupidity. Not only does he completely screw up, but he shares it with the world on YouTube hoping for what? Sympathy? All I saw was a guy wringing out his STi with no respect for the double yellow line while driving twice the speed limit. He took an uphill corner way too hot and lifted off the…
If you’re going to demand a premium price for a modified car, show your goddamn work. Put the good bumper caps on. Put the wing on. Make the aftermarket gauges point toward the driver’s eyes. If you’re lazy on details in the ad, how are we supposed to believe you’ve been meticulous on maintenance?
Came here to post this. Left satisfied.
Tried to get a silver one. Got a white one instead. Still have it 26 years later. If you regret selling yours, Florida has plenty of them. https://miami.craigslist.org/search/cta?auto_make_model=mazda+miata&min_auto_year=1989&max_auto_year=1997

LOL. Well played.
Wow. Spoken like someone who has obviously never had a front line customer service job. Think of it this way:
It takes a clever pun or some real creativity to make for an entertaining vanity plate, but it’s possible. There’s a few examples in the comments. This is one of my favorites. He really committed to the bit and did a nice job putting on all those numbers straight and uniform.
Now playing
I think when it comes to obscene car colors, I’ll go with Justice Potter Stewart’s standard: I know it when I see it. I’m not a fan of the day glow green, but I did see a Honda Del Sol years ago in that color and it worked - partially because the owner had a vanity plate that said “Ribbit”.
I’m pretty sure that meeting would have gone a different way if you were mudding in the FRONT yard.
Property value is perceived. It’s why some neighborhoods have HOAs - to prevent one neighbor from disrupting uniformity and possibly depress another’s equity. HOAs tend to draw a conservative line. If you wrench on one car up front, I won’t care, but the HOA might. Because there’s always that one guy somewhere who…
That’s a judgement call. If the driver is piss poor and slow and my pace will put a lot of distance between the two of us in short order, I do the same.
Well, almost the trifecta, but who ever heard of a diesel M3?
Unless you have the skills and intimate knowledge about the model, never buy someone else’s project. That being said, I like the idea of an manual M3 wagon. Paint it brown and you have the Jalop trifecta. It’s CP, but I’m interested. Tell the seller to move the decimal point on the asking price one place to the left…
They’re only making a handful of these cars. Lots of us don’t “get it”, but we’re not the target. They’ll sell them to rich BMW fans who will drive them on the track or to show off at Cars & Coffee.
I do that sometimes when I’m parking. It gives your rear wheels more room to get into the spot straight when you nose in. Also provides more distance to aim for the center of the space. Useless on the street, but I think that’s why people do it.
Florida license plate. I’ve never seen so many single car accidents (at least a dozen) on a single stretch of highway (I-95) over a short span of time (10 days) in my entire life.
Tells I watch for:
