I hate this car. On to the real topic, who else followed THIS auction, especially the wild last five minutes?? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-chrysler-lebaron-town-country-2/

I rented a condo for a few years and had a goofy neighbor who would sit outside in his green MR2 Spyder, equally beaten up or (most likely) more beat up than this one... neglected even... and listen to Motown’s greatest hits on 100 at all hours of the night. It was fine with me because I used to stay up all night…

...maybe!

Completely agree. 

I predict that this truck reeks of sick, make, potted meats, misc provisions, and old coffee. I bet it feels hepatitisy inside. No frank you (in honor of yesterday's hot dogs).

It would be a DD for nice days, anyway. I'd be in, for sure!!

This may well be your only reasonable chance!

Logic is only a small part of my car decision making. I’m completely with your evaluation of this.

Absolutely true. Still, if it’s ‘the car,’ like the exact car you want, that stuff kind of goes out the window, and at least for me it’s nice dealing with someone who will tell you about the stuff they’ve had done. But you’re right... it doesn’t really change someone’s mind either way to see ‘I poured so much money…

It’s sad but true. I did the same kind of thing. Those bills rack up QUICK!! It’s nuts. 10k goes before you knew what happened, and then it just keeps going and going and you’re like, well this is so far beyond anything that makes sense, I have no choice but to keep going!! But yea, you can’t look at it as an actual…

I like this interior. I could make magic in there.

I would agree with that ‘way of looking at it.’ I feel like the amount I paid for my 03 Land Rover was the down payment and the definitely-every-month-set-your-calendar-by-it maintenance is the actual payment on the car!!

That’s right.

So the question becomes, is it a ‘nice price’ for a car whose styling you can definitely maybe probably tolerate?

Does ‘I wouldn’t want this car anyway, especially at this price’ mean CP? I wrestle with that decision a lot when I’m voting. I’m not gonna overthink it. I don’t want it. At any price. Annnnnd... CP. Buh bye.

That wing sucks. Moving on, I wanted to share something with the class: Every day at this time, at my ‘day gig,’ I take a break at about this time to steal away from my desk to la toilette, do a #2 and read NPoCP. It’s the best part of the morning. But I realize it’s starting to have a crazy effect that looking at…

I have never understood driving a car around that had the ‘pace car’ stuff all over it. It just would look ridiculous anywhere but some small town’s Memorial Day parade.

Came here hoping to see someone else thinking what I was thinking. And it turned out to be you. Agreed!!!!

Maybe that’s why the car is for sale!
