wish they were, you can still get a N, but that’s it.  But 34k for a 5 year old car? that’s crazy town!

‘63 Jag XKE, 4 speed no syncro in first. but that str8 6 had torque for days so stalling it was really hard. next stick was a ‘89 pontiac sunbird. That was light years different with a getrag 5speed. Every car since has been a stick, right now a ‘13 Veloster 6MT, love that car!

good to know that 5speed automatic really is junk, my moms RSX trans died she just donated it, wasn’t worth fixing lol

Good stuff I look forward to the next article that will bring all this together!

I vote for stupid.. I really wanted one of these as I was 18 at the time, I sat in one at the dealership, I nicked the key-fob I thought it was so cool at the time lol

I’ve heard parts are getting hard to get on these.. but I might have misheard...

Veloster...

Eric, 83k for a dodge is a lot more than 60k he budgeted, plus you know its a dodge lol

I like it, not a fan of today’s interior design.. give me something simple and a double din slot and I’m happy!

budget was 30k, can you get a maverick or bronco for that with markups?

love it but he wanted an slushbox...

that’s my car! exact color too.... tho its missing the patch of peeled paint when I removed the gorilla tape that was holding the bumper cover 800miles from Chicago!  I would show a photo but kinja sucks!

Veloster!!! drops mic...

Wow david sounds like you really had an amazing adventure! Also your hitchhiker is kind of cute lol

My 2013 Veloster *non turbo.

Good idea tho I doubt they would cover insurance on this :-)

David you are crazy lol just reading this gives me anxiety, 30 hrs alone in an AC less van... OMG!

Jason you complete me.. Veloster is a good answer, as you all know I love mine.  But 12k for a ‘13 Turbo, god the market is crazy.  Also avoid the ‘13 turbo they grenade fast at least the early ones, 2014 and up are rock solid.

I feel like this daily column should be renamed “nice price (pre pandemic) or ND” lol we all see these prices in the current market as bonkers.. but its what peeps are paying these days! 

Totally being nick picky, but in one photo it does have the wiper, where the other it doesn’t... nice car, but gese why the diesel? also far too much!
