I am hugely biased in favor of this car. As a child of the ‘80s and a rally fan to boot, this is one of my absolute favorite cars. It’s every bit as significant to the overall auto industry as the VW Beetle or Jag XK120, and a very rare car. Values are, unsurprisingly, on the rise.

On the one hand, this thing appears to be very clean, very original and low miles. On the other, we have no idea about the condition of the motor and the ad lists several other items that need to be worked on.

Lee Judge is currently working on an article about how Derrick Rose deserved to have his orbital bone broken.

As for the best, I vote for Aladdin, because I like the Prince Ali tune. MIGHTY IS HE.

I appreciate the education. Our esteemed host, graverobber, seemed to indicate otherwise.

Apparently re-badged Fiats with a reputation for dissolving underneath you are hot property these days. NADA says the “Low Retail” value for these things is $5,675. Top dollar is more than 17 large! Dafuq?

So...swapped in a motor that already had almost 100K on it. Why bother?

Took mine to a “run what you brung” night at a local dragstrip once. For the record, a clapped-out, beat-to-hell Aerostar with cheapo all-season rubber will do at 16-second quarter mile at about 90.

Funny enough, this is way easier in a front-wheel drive sad mobile. I inherited a ‘93 Aerostar, and getting that wheezing 3.0 V6 to overcome the rear drums and spin the rears was the most challenging thing I have done in a car. You had to be in gear, mat the gas, and exactly a half-second later, stab the brake pedal.

There’s probably a technical term for this, but forcing passengers (i.e. families) to pay extra to sit together.

What the holy hell is going on with that man’s entire head? It looks like he went to the plastic surgeon and said, “I’d like to look like a demented Cabbage Patch Kid, please.”

This bike looks the business, without being overly precious with the changes so that a person would actually, you know, ride the damn thing.

Congratulations, seller. You really like Audis, and you have babied this one and even swapped the trans (which likely cost you a pretty penny). I hope you enjoyed all that, because it’s not getting you anything more than ~$8,000.

I personally drove a Volkswagen in which the radio and speedo would randomly cut out. Thankfully, the car had a tach that apparently wasn’t within the same gremlin’s grasp, so I learned to correlate certain RPMs with my speed.

Not pictured here: 1990 Chrysler LeBaron (damn you, Nibbles)

Yah...no. $13,500 is pretty much top dollar, iPhone or no iPhone. Get back to me once you lop about $5k off the asking price.

Blank’s not wrong, but let’s not forget that Goodell gave the Falcons free reign to pursue “whatever remedies available” to recover Vick’s signing bonus following the QB’s criminal conviction for dog fighting.

Has a V-8, but ad has no pics. Given the state of that interior, I shudder to think what could be hiding under that hood. Also, “tack” is something sailboats do when they change direction.

I think the point is that everyone complains about gas prices, but aren’t willing to make any sacrifices that would address the root cause. Such as NOT driving around solo in a huge SUV.

Not exactly a unique sentiment, but god DAMN...a little altitude adjustment (via a competent, well-engineered suspension) and some nice wheels makes a world of difference on this beast.
