POP. UP. HEAD. LIGHTS.

Don’t particularly care on what, just bring em back. 

The Cyclops, as featured in Road & Track

Crazy answer: A triple diesel engine pickup truck with a 6 inch lift installed at the factory. I mean, the EPA’s going to get a gut punch, too, so might as well make a FerdRamChev F-Teenthousand Denali with a 6.7 Power Stroke up front, a 6.6 Duramax in the middle, and a 6.7 Cummins bringing up the rear.

If I can’t get a Suzuki Jimny, what even was the point of destroying the American experiment?

Non-Jalop answer: I would love to see a unification of safety codes between the EU, Japan, Korea and the US. This way, if Toyota makes too many Kei vehicles for their market, they can export some to America cheaply and sell them here. It would allow for enthusiasts to special order stuff like Alpines or the like and

How about the 55 mpg “Chevrolet” (Suzuki) Sprint I had in 1985? I drove it off the dealer lot for $5500 and drove it for 220,000 trouble-free miles before giving it to a family member.

Now playing

Apparently the driver never watched the Rockford Files

I like the puddle lights. I installed them on my Lexus. I like the look. The only disappointment is that they don’t make the Klingon symbol in a puddle light, so I had to settle for the Lexus logo. :/

Not my jam in any way, but that’s a ton and a half of Radwood cred for couch cushion money. Who cares about performance when the top is down and the sun is shining? Kick back and enjoy that smooth old dude ride. NP al day long.

Giant screens. There’s no real purpose of them except being nice for a back up camera. My old ass car that has nothing but a few buttons and a radio with one line green lcd to show the radio station or volume on works perfectly. But i’m still always in awe a little of them and how cool some are 😂

Sure, but 4k? That’s bordering on f-it money. It’s a car. It’s a convertible. It is in good condition. It will probably last 5 years without major issues. I'd say that warrants a NP. Whether you or I actually want it, well, that's another question.

Yep. I would have never looked at one as a younger person, but now that I’m older, it’s like, hey a four seat convertible that you can get basic GM parts for, everything works, it’s clean, was kept in climate controlled storage for a decade, and a low price for all of that? NP for sure!

Between the fact that it was probably Grandpa’s car, and that it was in storage that long (he probaby died or lost the storage or current owner doesn’t want to pay for it as a result of either), I’d say it’s safe from rust. I’d check of course, but this seems like the ideal situation given the location.

Worth checking underneath, but presumably it wasn’t driven much or at all in winter. The miles would seem to bear this out. Assuming it checks out, easy NP. Those seats look inviting.

I would NOT stick my teenage kid in that thing. That thing is a death trap.

It’s funny, in their latter days Oldsmobiles were watchwords for generic, uninteresting design, but that broad, simplistic styling has made them age into pretty solid examples of 90s/early aughts design. I like this.

Absolute NP. Lots of potential buyers for this thing — new/teen driver, collector, middle aged nostalgia buyer, summer/beach runaround car, FL retiree, or frankly anyone with a $4K budget that needs something generally reliable. 

My Diesel RV has filler necks on both sides

Later ones only needed one side as the transfer worked. My 98 still had both.

Insects?  Pfft.  Gotta be a doggo.  The only city runabout I’d ride is a Corgi:
