Of course. Just proving that the car should do none of this. There should simply be a bluetooth API for interacting with cars. I tell my phone to turn down the car speakers and it can then do so. The car can simply be a dumb device that the phone controls.

Private party sales should always be cash or certified bank check only. These aren't ridiculous sums of money we're talking about, and it's not far fetched that someone would have 15 or 20 grand to spend on a car, cash.

Buying a car with the intent to resell it for profit is a fools errand in the current economic environment.

The clownshoes have proven more desirable than the roadsters - who'd have guessed?

The F-Body. And yet behind the Great Wall of Mullet, there's a genuinely capable performance car. It's even more undeserving a stigma than the one the Mustang has.

Corvette, easily. Everyone thinks of Corvettes as exclusively for men with a midlife crisis.

Well thats the thing. Yes, it is very deadly but it doesn't really spread like wildfire. The reason its spreading in Africa is that they have such terrible hospitals, reuse needles, and do not have the same sterilization standards as modern countries. The hospital they are taking them to is right next to the CDC. I…

Ebola is fluid-transferred rather than airborne (insert passenger jet pun here) so whilst deadly, it's not as scary as some make out.

Okay, this may be an unpopular opinion (who am I kidding, it definitely is) but there is no damn way that an E30 is worth this kind of money. Just no way. I'm sorry. I just DO NOT see the infatuation with these things.

In other news, vehicles designed before test or haven't had a refresh since new test have not passed test. Derp.

Second guess is correct! ZF in a Pantera. I will say that when it comes to the ZF I probably do pay Lambo prices.

I get approached at gas stations too, you know.

"Excuse me sir, I can't help but notice you drive an old german sedan. Would you like me to call a tow truck for you? Oh- you're just getting gas? You mean it actually runs?"

Sorry the other thing that Rob did really well was choose a late model which likely had most of the kinks worked out. I bought an early 2005 DB9 (production started late 2004).

Huge losses for banks? You obviously have little to no knowledge of the capital markets. First off, these loans are securitized and sold to investors, so banks get out of the game and collect their fees. Subprime auto securitizations have breakeven thresholds of around 40-45%. That means for your high quality…

""You have a Lamborghini, you can afford to spend more!" No, I have a Lamborghini because I spend less on everything else."

As an owner I guess I have a good perspective/understanding on the subject, especially given a lot of the work needed on my cars is done at home.

Kinja has a 65 character limit for titles :(

As someone who's lived with a lot of super cars, they're expensive to buy, expensive to maintain and expensive to insure. No other way around it.

How unsafe is it, actually? Can you back that up? How many accidents are caused by lowered cars with excessive negative camber and stretched tires? I've simply never seen a single accident caused by one of these now-illegal cars, and I assume that's due to the fact that the owners simply care more about their…

Just going to leave this here...
