One always has to ask about a mechanic special-if indeed it is just a fuel pump, why not spend the cash and get ‘er done, and sell it for $3K?
Well because maybe the non-running engine is hiiding a bad head gasket, worn out engine, non-functional transmission, or maybe even that the fuel pump isn’t running because the…

ND I realize it’s worth it for the parts but I’m not in the selling parts business

Big voice: All it needs is a new fuel pump...

“ ...whole lot of waiting around to drive for a few minutes at a time.”

You hit the nail on the head calling it Wile E. Coyote territory. Shit had me in awe the first time I saw it 

“or using Rob math, $12 shy of $9000.”

I nice priced it, these days most anything in decent shape and slightly rare or unusual seems to be worth some coin. Look at Isettas and Messerschmits (sp?) and other bubble cars of the 50s and 60s. Those things, built as the cheapest enclosed transportation you could buy back in the day, are worth serious money now.

I test drove one of these in ‘86 - at the time I drove a ‘79 Rabbit. They were more similar than different - though the VW was better in pretty much every way, from build quality, materials, etc. The thing I liked least was the super rubbery and vague action of the 4 speed stick, in marked contrast to the Rabbit,…

Its already gone. So someone bought it. I would give it a NP. There is a collector market for them and it is in unbelievable condition. It would probably attract attention at cars and coffee and Radwood.

You know what, fuck it, just for the lulz, I’m gonna go NP.

It’s Indiana. What if the creator just cited concerns that maybe the buyer was a gay, libtard, or had an abortion? I haven't lived in Indiana for 15 years, but seems like those would all be valid reasons to get this thrown out. 

I just said to my wife that they can wait a couple months, then release it so everyone can “judge for themselves”...and make maybe $35-million on a piece of shit.

Yeah and water lines aren’t typically burried very deep since winters typically don’t get that cold down here, so yeah my COLD water is warm to the touch out of the tap lol. So summer time probably 90/10 cold to hot for a shower, winter time it’s reversed.

Yes, in Houston even the white bottomed pools are very very warm right now and it feels like bath water. Cool is definitely better. I know some people who have pool chillers, but those are very power hungry.

It’s 105 where I live today I absofuckinglutely want a cold pool LOL.  Besides depending how deep the line feeding the hose is, that cold water might not be all that cold.  My straight cold water is warm enough to use to take a shower lol.

Seeing the editorial note “What in the name of ever-loving fuck is this thing?” on the Dymaxion car really sums up how far Jalopnik has fallen.

Jalopnik: All these cars should be lifted up 3", have big wheels, and pretend to be an off-roader!

Porsche 911

Miata. People are just making them left and right.

I want someone to fix it and make it amazing. Bass-boat metal-flake paint job. Better wheels. Period interior. Maybe a Subaru H6 motor.
