ND - 1) ABOMINATION! 2) PRICE is about $18,000 too high (or is it the seller that’s too high?)

ICE and SNOW could really make this feature pretty freakin useless north of the mason-Dixon line. Brush the 3 inches of snow off the hood, just to find a 1/2 inch glaze of ice... dilemma time - do you attempt to chip off the ice and risk damaging paint and fiberglass? Hey, test that vacuum motor and see how strong it…

Reverse - The BAT looks a lot like a Tucker humped a Studebaker (imho):

Man that is one ugly-ass front end! Like someone kicked in a speaker grille. Or if you’re getting perks from GM you call it “Distinctive”.

Ban all ICEs? You just know that these guys, and their buds, have an ace up their greasy sleeve:

Nowadays lots of people / dealers view the seat cover materialverse as binary - Cloth or “Leather”. The manufacturers confuse things further with “man-made leather” / leatherette / the highly bullshit “vegan leather” / synth leather, etc. One step further is leather touch surfaces - your ass gets real leather, the…

There are vehicles that actually crabwalk, that is move perpendicular to their visual orientation. I watched a forklift unload a lumber truck at a building site recently and it blew me away.

Nice Price all day! Just don’t wire the $$$ until you have car and title in hand.

So the chains have many sources of revenue and economies of scale. If they want to increase market share, they will cut prices drastically. This makes it unprofitable for small, independent stations. Ultimately drives them out of business. I saw this happen in PA. Wawa opens up, small station across the street gives…

NP - if you want one, this one LOOKS to be a fair deal. Rob’s caveat about getting the mechanicals checked by a knowledgeable shop is 1,000% necessary.  That shade of red turns me off for some reason, but still - NP (with a serious inspection).

The article omits any mention of the independent gas station lobby. The industry association has created that bullshite list of reasons and has successfully squashed every reform effort. Little guys with 2 or 4 pumps know that Wawa and company will wipe them out in price wars if pump your own becomes the law. I have…

Ah, but Ozone generated by electric motors is not good either!

Next up - Will GM retrofit cassette players for those not using Apple or Android products?

Small-d1ck trucks!

Ok so I’ve got a few more years on the clock than many here. I would be sacrificing safety, MPGs, lead-free exhaust, parts availability and a host of other things we now take for granted. BUT.... my DD would be one of my all-time favorites, a 53 Hudson Hornet:

ND Zits? This one sure has some kind of skin malady. If I could snag it for $2k or so, I’d rattle can the zits, do some basic maintenance and drive it as a beater, period. When it goes tits up, I’d sell it for parts and head out looking for the next Clearasil special that drives. No use trying to restore it, just ride…

These babies go for serious coin, so if my best friend had to have one, even though interior is kinda shitty and it has a lot of baggage, sure go piss away $35K. NP

I don’t collect, I drive. Most of the people who comment here are drivers, not collectors.

This difference of opinion is what makes the used car market interesting.  A car that’s 95% there is worth 40% - 50% of the fully restored price, if that. With this vintage, you can expect all sorts of shite to come out after purchase.  I’ll stick with $10k, max.

ND The seller has focused on the unusually low mileage, but ignored all the zits. Fix the trim pieces, heater, airbag light and paint job and then clean the freakin’ interior! Once that’s done, lop off about $5,000 and I’ll talk to you in the $10,000 range. But $15k ? well April Fools is tomorrow...
