Joe Patroni, with just one image you win the day!

Well, I fear I will insult you now, because you really know, understand, and enjoy both the GM F-bodies and the Ford Fox body cars. I enjoyed the heck out of taking our tech writing group out to lunch, driving my co-worker’s cars. We’d do so at least once a week for a year and a half. Had a ball. But my enthusiasms…

Ok, the “general solidity of construction” was based on my comparison of driving those two individual cars. My coworker had taken excellent care of the Mustang, while her husband, before he had passed away, had lead-footed the Camaro for two years. This was in ‘96, so the Mustang was 7 years old, while the Camaro was…

By way of background, some decades ago, I had a friend at work who had both an ‘89 Mustang GT and a ‘93 Camaro. She let me drive both frequently, and I have to admit the Mustang was a far superior car in just about every consideration, responsiveness, handling, general solidity of construction, and being flat out fun…

Let me explain. When I was in utero, my parents traded in their Austin Healy 3000 for a practical family car, a Corvair Corsa Convertible. That is the car I grew up in.

An OK car at a too-high-to-be-OK price.

Damn nice example of a Cherokee, and well presented in the ad. I appreciate how the seller is showing us a clean vehicle and giving us the necessary information. Good ad except for

functional four x four for few (um? Francs)

Neiighhh!

One of the most nicely executed Crack Pipes you’ve given us in a while. Seriously, this looks really well done. It raises the question: Just because you can, does that mean you should? 

Had I not read the article, I would have voted CP solely on the basis of the “Rust is an insomniac” reference (Neil Young might just approve). Having read the article, I voted CP also because of the incipient number of problems that appear to be creeping up will quickly eclipse any value the car could have in any…

A food friend of mine had one in highschool. He thought it was the shit, the rest of us thought it was shitty. There was a rust hole in the tunnel just behind the front seats, and blue oil smoke would pour up out of that into the back seat. The answer of course was to keep the windows open and wear a heavy coat in the…

I agree with you completely. It is impossible to respond rationally to this car, so I didn’t even look to see what V8 Vantages of this vintage are going for. The question is how much does this car speak directly to ME (for each and every “me” reading this blog)?

I really, really wanted to vote NP on this car. It’s basically a wonderful car at a hell of a good price compared to others on the market, but it’s looking at multiple thousands of dollars to keep it up as a daily driver or multiple tens of thousands of dollars to restore it. And I'm the guy who happily bought a…

Wait, I CPed the price thinking the parts _were_ included!

One man’s garbage belongs in another man’s garage.

Electric crack

“folded like Superman on laundry day”

I wish I could disagree with you. I love the Pacer for its sheer absurdity, boldness, and willingness to be ugly. I mean God, AKA George Burns, made it rain on John Denver inside a Pacer! That being said, it was never a Great car, and with the rust it just isn’t worth $4K.
