NP for any car where the owner tosses the slushie in favor of the DIY-three-pedal-shifter arrangement. Hell no I wouldn’t buy it, though, because it’s a modern, used BMW and thus a certified money hole.

These Aston Martins are beautiful. They should configure them with people willing to drive them to a little more than 50% of their capability. I had a great view of one from all angles last year at Gingerman, after I passed it a couple times in my unmodified (as if that matters) Scion TC.

Man, Will Ferrel looks like he needs to get some sleep.

Good thing that isn’t an SCCA race. That guy would have been black flagged for driving with his elbow on the windowsill.

And this, kids, is why manufacturing companies keep occupying old locations. Because they would not be able to afford the environmental remediation needed to sell the property.

Given the photos and the description, it’s an obvious NP and that’s how I voted. But, a 130k mile, clean, running, 7-year old car priced at $3900 from a dealer? I’m going in there with a big pile of suspicion.

It’s gorgeous! Also - at speed I think that little windscreen would deflect the air upward quite a bit. Maybe enough to avoid the bug in the teeth. Any aerodynamicists out there?

9%? Maybe round up to 10, so we can use the word “decimated” correctly, for a change.

If Tesla’s model were unique to the auto industry, everybody would be doing it.

I’ll have the Kobe steel, rare.

A tree caught fire. I suppose among all the random facts that could accompany such a tragedy this might stick out, but it’s just the oddest thing.

“One quick note before we begin: Volkswagen styles Up with an exclamation point at the end, like “up!,” which I actually love, but looks weird in writing. So I’m going to go with “Up.”

In 1970, we knew that being low-to-the-ground was best. Now, we prefer to perch up high, so we can see better, physics be damned. I know this is impossible, since we have the brilliance of the internet all around us, but it almost seems like we’re getting dumber.

This is the correct answer. 1974 was after the End of Days. Square taillights and ugly bumpers, don’t ya know.

The only party food that does not require two hands is grabbing a bite-size from a passing tray. The bowl = the plate except sillier.

From 1979-85 Mazda made one of the best-looking sports cars in the world. Buy one of those, instead. The bland second-gen cars were bought by GT-seeking middle-aged middle-managers who mostly wanted to wash and wax. No surprise that this has only 50k.

Too soon.

You had me at “nebbishy cringing.” 

I think he’s lying.

Wha? I don’t need a truck bed five feet off the ground to load a few bags of concrete a rake and a bag of tools? You mean I can drop that stuff in my hatchback? Who knew?
