This one is NP Based on Miles and condition and price. For less than half the price you can have mine which you can drive every day and not be worried about dinging the paint. Some of the problems that are endemic to this model come regardless of the mileage, like rotted rubber lines and bad fuel pumps which don’t do

This may be a bit of a hot take but I think they look better on the new car than what they originally came on. They’d look better sized up an inch or 2 with the appropriately sized tire, but they look good either way.

“regional contraband” between New England & New Mexico - you were running a maple syrup/Hatch chile smuggling operation?

I think that in year two it’s time to see what mods you can do. Upgrade the suspension and brakes, perhaps even a new motor or battery pack.

Actually, my first thought after reading that (bad as it might seem) is, how has it not been stolen yet? Like, surely there might be more than a few nasties who would like to take this for a joyride, or do unspeakable things to it.

Any idea how many miles you’ve driven it?

If you had the choice again, would you choose this or a Pickman?

4th: there’s nothing more aggravating than someone at a busy gas station who leaves the car at the pump to go inside and do a little shopping (especially at Sheetz where you can order food). But at least it’s typically only a few minutes. Now imagine having to wait 20 minutes to charge the car, and the car ahead of

Someone already suggested a W body Monte Carlo, which was the first thing that came to my mind. The second thing was a 9th or 10th generation Thunderbird. Look for one with a V8 or naturally aspirated V6 for simplicity’s sake. It’s pure Americana from the overly large body to the deceptively small interior.

Ridiculous car rebadging you say?

Even with this low price, this Evora should probably be priced lower. (That factors in the current used car market being stratospheric.) In terms of price, this one is about $15,000 over where it needs to be.

I’ll start the madness. Turbo and a manual, looks fairly well kept.  I can see 3500 in this market, especially for something with a dollop of interesting.

DS9 is the best Trek.  All right thinking aliens living amongst humans know that.

Wait.  People born in 1996 can drive?  Aren’t they like 14 years old still?

I think a Kia Something or whatever...

I want to refer you to the (not yet late) great SF writer Larry Niven. Niven invented a Really Big Thing when he came up with the midway step between planets and Dyson Spheres: the Ringworld. We owe Halo to Niven.

Brilliant writing. The most elevated prose for this vehicle ever. And I'm thrilled Meh Car is back 

This is the best thing that could have happened from the Jason Torchinsky 50 year retrospective spectacular. I feel like I may have contributed to this momentous occasion.
