Is this just a bad photo, or have they ruined this once-beautiful design?

I’m thinking most of the NP votes are coming from the rust belt. If you’re lucky enough to be shopping for cars out west, you’ll notice a lot of cars are beautifully preserved. This truck is all kinds of nice, but with a slushie, not yet (ever?) a classic and at $8k I choose the crack pipe.

I think MathsCureCancer is on point, here. It’s a pointy, uncomfortable point, but it has something we people from the past call a “track record.”

You remember this? Then, how come my picture has gray hairs all over it?

Too much emphasis is placed on spacing between the first x number of gears and the top one. The top gear, whether it is 6th or 5th, should just be a lugger; who cares how far it is from the previous one? You drive a manual! You’re only going to use the top gear when you’re done accelerating and you will shift down if…

I think I rented one of these on a vacation a couple years ago. We were semi-excited because it mildly resembled a Cherokee - and we liked our Cherokee, back before the world ended. Then I looked under the hood and saw they had broken that perfect engine in half and glued it in a v shape. Pressing the right pedal…

Is this missing a “[sic]” from you, or were you just pointing out the weak declaration? And do single quotes mean you were not quite quoting the ad?

It’s wonderful to know that even today - no physics tool is more advanced than the Wooly Willy.

You had a lot on your hands with this post, but I have to point out you missed fully half of the lunacy about the saw motorbike; a hand axe as the front “wheel.” I can’t imagine there is footage of this thing being piloted. Please, let there be footage of someone balancing on their solar plexus and taking off on this…

Wow it’s really sad that we have to build a wall to keep our Navy Seals from leaving Murka.

This car makes me want to sing!:

You said “huge vibranium.” ... Tee hee.

I’m sure the objective votes (based on the factual buying habits of dazed and ravenous ebay buyers) will carry a NP win, but c’mon. Post-73 commodity-level 4-cylinder roadsters with lotsa miles aren’t worth more than $6k resprayed and interior kitted like this one is. CP. I’ll go back to yelling at the sky, now.

That barrier was formerly the queue fencing for a popular bun and pho shop in the 1970s. It was not designed to be highly visible. The alternating black and white paint bars probably made it look like pylons or something with open spaces to the inebriated scooter driver.

277.9? How can this number be the answer to any question? It’s not like there is a brand halo effect that leads to massive sales. The long and lonely reign of the McLaren F1 as the world’s fastest car proved that ... a while ago. I think it’s because the speeds are just so absolutely bonkers: Close the road, make sure…

Holy crap. Between yesterday and today, this is easy week. A rear drive v8 with a stick shift for $1,100? Pfft.

Because I’m not an engineer, I think I would want a spar connecting the back end of the two fuselages.

A Merc with a stick? Them are some classy hen teeth, right there. Really sucks that you should have to pay more for the “standard” version, but this is Jalop, and sticks trump slush here. NP

I remember a big deal being made 10-15 years ago at the Mid-Ohio vintage event when one of the old ones was on the track. It was beautiful.

I can’t believe the comments section is enabled on a story about Uranus.
