    Soon to be resold as “Trump Tires” ... 

    Chop the price down to about 1/3 of asking, and this thing is a maybe.

    Lucas Electric Taxi = LET

    That’s pretty much my logic.  I don’t dislike the car per se, but not at that price. 

    You could be right. We’ll have to see.

    Adequate for a “winter beater” ... assuming that whatever problems lurk beneath aren’t going to show up the first day temperatures drop below zero.  

    This is a longer term pattern that goes back to the 90s. >5 year old Hyundais just seem to disappear off the road.

    For the money, it’s in decent shape. I wouldn’t turn this one down.

    It’s a nice looking car, but ... something, something, <somebody else’s project>, something ...

    Apparently you’ve forgotten the old Plymouth Volare - which for a couple of years (77ish) came from the factory with the amber tail light wired to the brake switch, and the red half of the same module acting as the signal.

    Yes, the Neon engine had more power at the crankshaft compared to my ‘90 Civic, but it didn’t have the liveliness of the Civic in regular driving.

    Pretty much ... and even then you have to be religious about washing them every time the temperature crawls up above -20C.  

    Ugh ... mumble mumble ... <other people’s projects> ... mumble mumble .. 

    First Gear: Lordstown Shutdown

    Reads like someone trying to recoup the money they put into it.

    Things appear to be looking up for Chrysler - not one entry in the 10 worst list.   

    If you got 28 years out of the thing, you definitely “won” on that purchase!

    What you get is the corroding remains of that Civic ... 

    I can count on one hand the number of them that I have encountered in almost 4 decades of driving.  It isn’t exactly commonplace outside of some forms of racing. 

    Growing up, we used to joke that these should be called Lincoln Continents ...
