I wouldn’t personally buy this, but, objectively, it IS a reasonable price for what it is, so NP vote here. But again, I no.

I sometimes sit awake at night and wonder what ever happened to my college car: A 2000 Chevy Cavalier 4-door, three speed auto, with an anemic 2.2L I-4.

Did it run when parked?

As someone who came of age when the Impalla SS came out, I’m throwing out a NP mostly for nostalgia. And those bench seats!! Amazing throwback to the glory days.

It’s cool and it presents well, and the stick nearly closes it for me, but that price... Bit too much coin for what it is. CP.

I am a member of AAA (although their sticker isn’t on my car). Why? Towing. My aging fleet of vehicles practically requires I have insurance.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the old G-bodies, but not for THAT kind of scratch. At that price point, the thing had better be MINT, not scratched to hell with a non-pedigree build under the hood. CP

Are they going after Buick and their infinite “E” vehicles theme?

Neutral: Americans have very short memories. Even if gas prices do go up, as long as they come back down a little, SUV sales will spike back up.

There are few worse feelings in the world than being under the gun to get a repair done because you have no other choice.

Some buddies and I bought a 1972 Porsche 914 we were going to run in the GRM $2009 challenge. We were far enough out that we had enough time to do things like rebuild the brakes, engine, fix electrical problems, etc. The engine build was up to me. It took me a solid couple of weeks (working only on weekends), but I

Lights on in the rain/fog/dark.

Let’s not forget that everyone is armed with a Mini-14 and can hit NOTHING with it.

1) See Last Action Hero for a head-on example of the real world; He shoots a car and it doesn’t explode.

Seems like a candidate for a “Ran when parked” Craigslist ad.

If that was the case, wouldn’t it also need to be an automatic?

That kind of scratch for a front drive with 150,000 miles on it is just a bit too much for my taste. CP. You could probably find some kind of rear drive roadster for less money. Just not sure exactly what that car would be...

Fun fact: Soon as I graduated high school, I left that town and its Chrysler workers behind.

I’m a Kokomo native and due to growing up around workers at Chrysler, I refuse to own any Chrysler product because I know what kind of “quality” can be expected.
