Considering his collection there is no telling.  He has so many vintage cars.

No one is putting the obvious “Insurance fraud” out there, so there it is.

You didn’t know that Mercedes-Benz cars grow on trees? The previous homeowner was simply planting an MB tree.

Everyone should drive a 50 year old American car just to see how far cars have advanced in that time.

The hit rate went way down. For every Grand National, there were 20+ complete misses like the Beretta. You’ve listed 10-15 in the last 50 years, so 1 great (or almost great) vehicle every 3 years or so.

I’ve never seen such a mediocre vehicle manufacturer ride the coattails of its previous reputation and glory as much as Jeep does.”

If you say so.

Anything lasting more than four hours, consult your doctor.

Take it out back and shoot it. What’s a few more holes when it already has so many?

Honda CRX si. Fast, cheap, speed. Sure, it was made of tin foil and angry bees. But, it was the Miata before Miata.

Pretty much anything that’s not a full-size pickup, SUV or CUV. I.e. All the cars that people think they need, but really only make use of once a year.

Suzuki Samurai - safe or not safe, we need a dirt cheap offroader that can be worked on by anyone, hosed out after a great weekend offroading, and cheap to run and maintain.

I feel like this is the kind of thing where you just need to find the one person who wants this car but I’m concerned that person is also the one selling it.

I want to like this, I really do-but the buy in for a 27 year old car that is as complex as this admittedly handsome beast is too high.  It might be that it’s a gatekeeper kind of price, only someone who has the means to keep it fed and watered and sheltered is going to buy it for $15k and that person is definitely

The story surrounding “Unsafe at Any Speed”. After publishing the book, Nader was supposed to testify before congress. GM hired private investigators to follow him to dig up dirt to smear him with, like that he was a homosexual or deviant.

I’m not sure if it really counts as a car feature, but what about actually being cars? Probably 90% of the SUV market could be equally well served by a wagon (which would likely be better on gas), and yet more and more manufacturers are discontinuing cars entirely because nobody buys them any more.

The underlying issue with Ford’s situation outside of recall issues with the Focus and Fiesta was their shareholders. Part of the reasons why Ford no longer make cars other than the Mustang is because all of the ones they did make had super small profit margins. On the other hand their trucks and SUVs make an

Honda CRZ. We were hoping for the next coming of the CRX when we saw early press and photos about this. Is was supposed to be a true hot hatch hybrid. Performance + green efficiency! But the power was anemic, and reviews on the handling were mixed at best. It flopped, and rightfully so. Such a disappointment.

(US) Ford Escort Turbo GT. 120hp, exterior and interior essentially the same as the rest of the Escort lineup, metric wheels. Pales in comparison to the Euro Escort Turbo of the same time period.

Station wagons are better than SUV’s.
