White with black wheels? Mirrors on the windows, not the fenders? Ugly carpets in a generic 1990s Japanese interior? What kind of Japanese executive would suffer the dishonor of riding in this car?

Si! Muy peligroso!

When the car itself is voting crackpipe (“financial mistake”), who am I to disagree?

If the big sticking points, so far as we can tell, are the seats and the carpet, this can’t be too bad a deal.

I’m no expert on cars, but I do know a few things about having kids. To those with no time because of kids, let me say there’s a saying that with kids the days drag on but the years fly by. Before you know it that kid of yours will be off doing his/her own thing, at which point you’ll have the time for car fixin’,

This is a nice car, but this blog or whatever isn’t called Nice Car or Crack Pipe, and at $6,500 the price isn’t too nice. How about $4,500, maybe.

Unfortunately, I associate Oldsmobile not with Rocket 88s, but with Cutlass Supreme Grande Custom Cruisers, the cars that were not “your father’s Oldsmobile,” but in fact were driven by my dad and others in his age cohort. Consequently, I’m not much of an Olds guy. However, if were considering one at today’s cars

If this guy “Hassan chop”-ed $20,000 off the price of that truck, he’ll never sell it.

Considering what this guy is asking for a 25-year old Ford truck, let me add for readers the following disclaimer:

My God, that’s disgusting. It can’t be real, can it?

This posting led me to consider the economics of buying this thing versus leasing a new Q4 (not that I’m inclined to or can afford to do either one). A upfront cost and the monthly payments on a 2016 Q4 would total something like $44,000 over 3 years (with 30,000 miles). I would be driving a brand new freakin’

That’s what they say about Rolls Royce

I must be getting even more critical in my old age, as I was put off by the green cue ball shifter! Did he choose that color to coordinate with the paint, or is he color blind?

Funny that Vonnegut should come up here. His Breakfast of Champions character Harry Lesabre might be dismayed that his namesake car included in this hall of shame. On the other hand, perhaps not, considering he sold Pontiacs, not Buicks.

This certainly grabbed my attention, not for the rarity, but because of the apparent time capsule condition. Then I read the fine print: 175,000 kilometers. You’d have to be a real beemerphile to put down this kind of money and then put down some more, and some more, and some more after that for God-knows-what this

I thought the brown manual wagon fetish applied only to imported cars—oh well.

In my haste I didn’t notice that it just the dashboard, not the rest of the interior, that was marauded. Sorry. Just the same, for me, the dash really defines the inside, and you use the car while sitting inside it. Hard to believe given the 60k supposedly spent he couldn’t do a year-correct replace/restore.

Without reading, I saw the first photo and thought wow, a Galaxie 500 (one my favorite car names, btw). Then I scrolled down and saw that ugly Marauder interior. I felt a bit nauseated. Who would do this, and who would buy it?

This seller, a dealer, has nothing to lose putting it up on EBay as a buy it now for a high price.

Looks like Richard Simmons’s sneaker, drives like a school bus, and probably leaks like... um, something leaky. Most obvious CP yet.
