Counterpoint: Your old car should be as rough or nice as you want it to be and can afford to make it.

yeah but only the first 10 seasons of simpson’s references are worthy. 

Yes, but if you get drunk be very careful about where you sleep it off.

This terrifying little thing is actually on my local Craigslist right now:

You and me both!  I love running normal errands with weird cars.  Ie: Did you know, an 06 Elise makes a perfect grocery getter?

Bodies. Lots of bodies.

It's a Doug DeMural!

That’s Subarus in Vermont.

This guy is nuts!!!

• Soft suspension with a tendency for controllable oversteer

But what if we just admit that retro has a short shelf life and do deliberately small production runs like the Nissan Pike cars? Short run retro cars based off of existing platforms as something rare and special. No replacements, no attempt at continuing the line, just do a couple model years for fun.

Please let it be this douche canoe...

But I’m waiting for the day when these things get really cheap. Fifteen grand or less, cheap. Twenty-four Hours of Lemons, cheap. Bad Craigslist decision, cheap. Good tax return cheap. Dirt cheap. The way NB Miatas are now, cheap. Just absurdly, almost irresponsibly, cheap.

I read it as “the $1 million Masonry Edition” upgrade.  Imagine my disappointment when I realized I had NOT found the Illuminati’s car.

That’s a lot of $15 cards to swipe.

Easy. Just designate all the not ready planes as parts planes. The sooner you admit your project car isn't going to be finished, the sooner you can get rid of it on Craigslist and move on. No time wasters, I know what I've got.

I think this is probably fine? At least as an experiment. For a little while. It’s been said here a billion times there is no reason women can’t compete with men in this sport, but if this helps get some otherwise overlooked women drivers some exposure then it is a good thing. I am hoping that means they get funneled…

That’s where you’re wrong. It’s MY Corvette and only 28 were painted in THAT yellow with THIS saddle leather interior and MY trim package with Tuesday build dates. It’ll be worth something someday. That’s why it’s kept under cover in the garage. The wife isn’t even allowed to look at it unless it’s at least 65*…
