Burnt-off clear coat.

@toojayzee in the grays — I thought it was gracious of the original poster to express his point in ways even dull-witted chuds like you could understand.

That was only his ante. He’s been betting big in this game for quite a while.

There’s little more entertaining that watching rich shit-talkers recoil in horror when shit gets real.

You gotta be kidding. The next time you can find a clean, real Porsche Speedster for 30 grand, you let me know.

I did read the article. I even read the source article in the StarTribune where this rewrite came from. And I still have a lot more questions than I get answers from with this copy.

Certainly the crane truck driver wasn’t paying enough attention, but I’d be curious exactly why the pickup was sitting in the middle of the highway. I wasn’t there, but it didn’t look like it was so severely damaged that it was immobilized.

Perhaps. But as they say, “The bigger the headache, the bigger the pill. Baby.”

The downside of that “let it happen” strategy is that you lose your best folks that way and are stuck with the remainder.

So, essentially, we’re in the “gotta crush the economy so we can save it” stage?

Actually, Jim Farley posts lots of crap.

That’s not a restoration project. That’s a parts car.

I live in Lois Frankel’s district. While admittedly she’s more of a workhorse down here than a show horse, she takes good care of her constituents and has served the district well in Congress.

She’s running for Congress again, this time challenging a Republican incumbent upstate in Florida’s 11 Congressional District. She shopped around for an easier race after getting trounced running in Palm Beach County against an entrenched Democratic congresswoman in 2020.

I stand corrected. And I agree with your overall assessment. Thanks to its condition and extremely low mileage, I still feel it’s a Nice Price.

A quick check of pricing on 2018 GTIs shows a price range between $22-$29.5K. This is priced near the top of the range, but it also is a top-line model with very low mileage.

Please excuse me if I don’t want to sign on for creating a personal honeypot and then letting Microsoft beta-test protecting my identity.

If you’re looking to buy a race car, bring along someone who knows the rules for building cars that race in your class.

There’s four grand in good parts here. And it’s a solid beater.

Ding ding ding ding ding!
