Top comment. Easy.

Ecodiesel Wrangler, god dammit.

The ford ranger wouldnt have developed into the mass-appeal, indestructible product that it is without that tax.

Not to mention the Toyobaru twins are already selling WAY below target..

I dont remember that thing having such flaired fenders. There aren't enough Volk 37's in the world for that car to go into production.

I like the 130R, but I don't get why they slapped the Malibu's nose on it. Shouldn't it be a tiny Camaro, or at least a sporty Sonic based thing? It looks a little bit too much like daddy's best friend, that's all I'm saying.

I'm about to go try this on the worst parts of it right now! Thanks for the advice!

did you scrape off all the goop first? Or did you just layer a fresh spray?

Oh god I know it's terrible. Plus I have short legs but my knee still hits the left side of the center console and it leaves black plastic melting shit on my pants ALL THE TIME.

As an IS300 owner, at least in my market right now that's a STEAL of a price, even though the outside was a little rough. They have very hard to maintain interiors, that one was VERY clean. With under 150k and a manual tranny, completely stock, that would have been close to a 10k car in the Austin area. That's what…

I giggle every time I read that "robot that eats the back part of the roof" line.

Im pretty sure that was said in comparison with the Focus SVT and maybe the GLI? Ive driven one and I personally think it was really shitty. They also aren't all that reliable.

there was a clean one of these on Austin craigslist about a year ago that was one owner, 65k miles being sold at an estate sale for 6 grand. I should have jumped.

Apparently it has a swapped V4 too. Red top.

this is an unrealistic and unspecific viewpoint, and I guarantee tavarish isn't going to argue back. I can't speak for the national averages but in Central Texas those prices are about right for what people would sell them for on the private market, but there's usually HUGE deviation. The clean, 50k mile (AP1 AND 2)…

But you gotta keep in mind that Car and Driver is also taken with a healthy dose of retarded salt. They factor so much random shit into their calculations that the numbers are only useful if compared against OTHER car and driver stats. But then the are quite useful.

I'm so glad to hear that, I thought I was either crazy or stupidly uninformed for even thinking about it. I completely agree!

Absolutely Doug, I always enjoy reading your pieces/excerpts.

Harder than I've ever laughed at one of Tavarish's articles, for what it's worth. The Babe Ruth bit killed me.
