This has become an enriching thread

And closer to $15k

This is the perfect response.

It scared me so I read no further. I REEEEEAAALLLLLY want a used Viper as my next toy, but not a basket-case; CP.

I’m in love.

Yep. There is a huge gap between what car enthusiasts (and Jalops) want and what the other 99% of “cars as driving appliances or status symbols”will actually buy. See the ill-fated CTS-V, manual wagon as the vehicle that exemplifies this chasm.

That’s gonna get a reaction

In an oil-rich country like Iran, you’d think there would be loose, if any MPG regulations, and gas should be cheap, so a GTR, or even VQ engined version can’t be far off, right?

The timeline coincides with the rise of Skrillex. Skrillex blowing the roof off.

I’m terrible with money and always make bad car decisions, based on emotion instead of thinking rationally. NP

I always laugh when some shit car is dubbed with a rumbly engine note, like V8 burble, at low speed, or shrieking V12 sounds during a chase.

Or randomly cycling the steering wheel back and forth as if the car has 20 degrees of slop in the steering (unless it’s a ‘75 Grand Torino, which had at least that much) to simulate driving.

They went to Stormtrooper tactical training to hone their skills as marksman

Also, whenever a car is struck by gunfire, sparks are flying. See The Walking Dead for examples of this

Not if I had a 90s GM with a digital dash; those never worked.

You’ve obviously never executed a perfect 0 mph power slide. You don’t know what your missing!

Dukes of Hazzard specialized in the tire melting, howling dirt burnout

Cars, FWD or otherwise, must go exhibit power oversteer in every turn. Many times, you catch the doggy, old Crown Vic cop cars almost completely sideways, yet in the next scene they are still right behind the much faster getaway car. Okay, that was like 2 or 3 things but still.
