+1 for making me think of Fiddler On The Roof on my day off.

I want to meet your dad. He sounds like a “hoot.”
And, in the end, can’t we all agree that kit cars are “womp womp” bummers?
This is exactly where I’m at on it. Not for me, but to each his own.
I saw a YouTube video about a Canadian guy who was in search of, and eventually bought (in said video) his dream Prowler. I started it as a hate-watch and eventually came around. (Said with great care and hesitation) “I get it now.”
That’s my biggest problem with envisioning the ownership, uh... “experience”
yea that was a hell of a list from a quick scour...
I don’t like it and would have ZERO use for it. But I imagine that for the people that do, this is a fair price. Enough disclaimers? I just imagine someone asking what it was and “is it from the 30's?” and I’d have to say “no, it’s from 1980, it’s just supposed to LOOK like it’s old” and they’d go “ohhhh... ok...…
I remember when I first bought the Fiero and started scouring the internet for Fiero lore and info (I know, I did it all backwards, but who knew I’d end up buying the first one I went to see?)... there were several interesting period articles about the Mera. I saved some of them. When I went back to read them, almost…
Having a Mera is like dating a cool, easy-going girl but making her wear a crude Vanna White mask. 'no, Tammy, it's cool, we're good and all... just as far as anyone else is concerned, you're Vanna White, k?' F Meras!
I own and love an 84 SE. And I HATE Meras. CP. At ANY price. You'd have to pay me enough to torch the thing and pay to have the scrap hauled away. I despise Meras. I don't even want to talk about it anymore.
I absolutely want this right now. Come to me.
I had a (regular) 2 door Blazer in pewter with a 5 speed until it got totalled at 276k miles. Love of my early Automotive life. And my fiance, years before we ever met, had a black Extreme Blazer that she loved also. Part of how I 'knew' we'd work (haha). These are suddenly SO rare, whether in 'Extreme' or standard…
As they used to say, 'How! High are ya?'
Simple to me. Well maintained quirky and cute little truck. 7500? Not on your ninny, as the people who built my Discovery would say. At 5k this guy would start to make sense, but at 7500 he either doesn't want to sell it or, dreaded words, 'knows what he has' blah blah blah. He wants money back for the work he put…
I think it's an acceptable price. They knew 5k was the ceiling and came in right under it, imo... but I have to say, with all the extensions and cladding, I hate this car. Just absolutely hate it. And the dirty engine bay... I know, I know... but it's just gross. I don't want it at any price but I do consider it to be…
Man, bummer that you'd go so hard on the UP (which, I agree with you) and then just lump in the Lower Peninsula real quick at the end. I traveled for a long time for work (well over a decade of constant international and domestic travel) and I don't think there's a lot that's GENERALLY wrong with the people here…
Totally agree. Came here to say that, but you said it, so I'm good.
It had been bumming me out before how NPoCP means different things to different people. There's the 'literal' people with 'is it commensurate with other prices for a comparable used whatever,' then there's the 'could I afford it' people. Then there's 'do I like it.' The list goes on and on what the criteria are for…
Exactly.
