This is one of my favourite rally videos ever.

Pretty, clean, and maybe worth $8000 with a turbo 7M swap. Crack pipe.
@zenneth: Forehead slap inbound.
@Psiu! Puxa!: I love your Volvo 240! But I digress: Number 17 is the Monkeemobile, and I'm pretty sure 15 is from one of the Ninja Turtles movies. Number 11 is the Mirthmobile. I don't know about 12 or 20, but I know that I'll slap my forehead in exasperation when someone correctly identifies it.
@bozoerrebbe: Thank you for bringing this up. I expect better from Jalopnik.
Worth it for the parts alone. I have a buddy with three spare water-cooled VW engines, and a Supra shell with nothing under the bonnet. Of course, none of them are as delicious deranged as this monster. Nice.
@Matt White: No kidding you should have. 80k miles on an E30 is practically factory-fresh.
1967 Valiant, slant-6, five speed, four door, ridiculous orange-and-pea-soup paint job, $2000. Sigh.
@RandomArt: That car is why I love window louvres.
There's also Desolation Jones, which is notable for its art if nothing else. I've only ever been able to find the first trade, though, so I don't know where it's at these days.
@TRAMS_AM: I assume the offset must be close, but the bolt pattern, to the best of my knowledge, is wildly different, at least on VWs. It's a pretty serious conversion job to make them fit. Worth it, though. They're gorgeous.
@irishman72: They look brilliant on a MkIII Golf.
@itstimetopaytheprice: My first thought as well. It seems appropriately spacey.
@Lex Luthor II: Less impractical than something that's 250 light-years away; one packet is merely a lifetime, not three or four or fifty.
@Curse_Your_Sudden_But_Inevitab...: The Joker puts me in mind of Jack White.
1.8L VW turbo driving each set of wheels.
@exartist: Amen, sir! When I get around to not-buying a car, it'll be one of these, or a 75. God, they're beautiful.
@johnjohn6817160: Come again?
@Inphoarius: What a strange thing to say.
3.0 CSL.
