This is why you pay Grundy $100 a year and actually GET $6k when it's wrecked- you can't put a lot of miles on the car, but it's a resto project, so you're unlikely to do so anyway, and they do declared value insurance all the way.

'dust proof armor' makes me laugh a little.

@Kris Aubuchon: 'Main Energy Battery' listed on the left side, halfway down- in the movies, he had a special recharging chair. Meaning he is the cyborg equivalent of a freaking Nissan Leaf, and I just died a little inside.

Apparently, a '58 Aston Martin...

Skynet became prematurely self-aware and ensconced itself in an Audi... I should've known. No fate.

Isn't this a several-years-old joke ad from the Detroit cruise route? There were a bunch of them. "Lighten up."

Buying a Lamborghini, it had better be excessive in all things. If we wanted a nitpicky race car, we'd have a Ferrari. A Lambo, as Clarkson…

@mantaTM: In other words, "There's no profit in top speed, so we're going to pretend it doesn't matter and we're taking the high road." I guess they figure any 200+mph junkies will save up for an Ultimate Aero II or a Veyron or a Saab ([jalopnik.com] I'm the first to admit that with enough power, a UPS truck would…

@NickFoote: The thing is probably 4 feet long.

As with any van, the only appropriate paintjob is an A-Team homage.

@John Carter: And no electrics, radiator, etc., but the use of hand tools makes it extra awesome ;)

Eight soldiers, but hey- I'm not complaining :)

Buy an Atom, for God's sake!!!!

Yet somehow the actual trade-in value of their company is half that. Ironyyyyyyyy... ;)

In other news, they will be suing Hot Topic and dirty hippies for using Che's likeness on shoddy merch and vans.

@Baby Beater Benz: They should have used..... SIMONIZ! :-p

Bugger! :)

@87CapriceEstate thinks Ebay license plates are pricey: That was my immediate thought. +1.
