There are people who hate the Bavaria?! Should they even be allowed a user account here?

That shouldn’t look good, but it really does.

And right now, the cook from that research ship is being approached by a man carrying an envelope of cash.

Hey, look! An automotive question where the answer is ... definitely ... not ... Miata.

At $15k this had better look flawless, not like somebody’s furnace collapsed on the trunk.

OK. So the only reasons to buy this at $7500 are: 1. have a car you can use sometimes and 2. sort of stand out while having people point and smile.

Came here to say this.

Cool. Let them spend billions on attack submarines that won’t get used (we can all hope.) I remember the last time, when the USSR spent itself into dissolution trying to out-macho a chest-beating Repub US president.

These are best when stripped out, kitted up and driven hard. They make great track cars. Don’t need to spend $8k on a donor.
At this price, it’s waiting on the thin slice of people who want to preserve an early 90s Honda - and I doubt those few would want one with 233k. Too many big numbers. Stuff this in your crack…

Thanks and all ... but I’m still way more interested in not having a crash. We spend billions - in taxpayer money and via regulations on manufacturers - on preparing to crash! Then we train the public to select vehicles based on the severity of the maiming we’re willing to tolerate if we crash. What do we spend on…

Failed gyro:

1st gear: I feel uncomfortable when I roll the car while trying to avoid an accident. 2nd gear: Good thing we’ve all pitched in our extra $ to make sure our La-Z-Boy-styled mobile perches are outfitted with body-wrapping woopsy pads and hyper-engineered crush zones so that we don’t have to avoid accidents.

NP - as long as you realize these are easily and frequently stolen. 

“ This Country Squire is huge, and has plenty of room for trusses and tents and whatever in the back, especially with the rear seat folded flat—it’s as big as a pickup bed back there.”
 

Well, maybe if it REALLY had that epic wing I thought I saw in the first pic:

And that also aged pretty well, but if you think the bimmer is a “regular” car (as intended here) then ... congrats to you.

Early 2000's Lincoln LS. Meh sedan styling overall, but with a hint of handsome. Grille decent, wheels pretty good, nice proportions for a no-edge car. Wanted the v6 with a stick badly - gave up after not finding (and too many other choices, thankfully. Still ...

It’s a museum piece. If you want a museum display it would be very cool to own this.
[UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT] If you want an old VW in amazing shape, so that use could, you know, use it as a car, then this would be a really expensive way to do that.

Oh Lord, it’s break out the jingo time.
