Yeah, every once in a while I go looking at ads for used Magnum R/Ts, because I love me a fast wagon and hey, it would be something different! There are usually one or two on offer in my area at decent prices with decent miles, and I start to get all excited… and then I see the interior. Good god, what a heap of…

No idea, but not worth the time and hassle for me

And until then, you’ve still only got 250 hp in a 4200 lb car.  F that noise.

reluctant ND. I like the magnums in general but the mid-00s Chrysler interiors are god awful, none of it presents very clean, it does not have the desirable engine (the early pentastar engines are, lets say, not great), and everywhere you drive it someone will be doing 1mph under the speed limit thinking you’re an…

I still remember Nissan went as far as making 2 variations of the IDX, a regular and a Nismo. That made me think Nissan was really serious about production, but turned out we were all fools.

I’m still mad about the Nissan IDX

I don't even expect our terrible healthcare system to cover a converted van....but I would expect our system to actually cover healthcare stuff, which is sometimes a challenge. This is the only modern country where you have to buy extra insurance for your insurance...and even then they can decide not to pay for…

Bravo on the new purchase, the past few years of Honda’s are finally edging out the Siennas in overall quality and styling IMHO (I own a 07 and 11 Sienna.. jury is out on my next van). I feel for you and your wife- the added expense of the conversion is no small thing.

The transmission is also a torque converter automatic...

Obligatory

Man I WANT to NP this, but I think the seller is trying to get back his maintenance costs especially that $7K spent on the timing chain . . . and that’s not how it works. Love the looks, the stick, the power and I can deal with German vehicles without losing my cool.

This guy gets it 

THANK YOU. Holy goddamn do I despise this “1980's in popular culture” wikipedia article masquerading as a book. I'm supposedly the target audience for this thing and yet it repulses me on an almost fundamental level. 

Go back to watch Fox crap.

Lewis Hamilton is happy to be on the right side of history in the end, regardless of what it means in the short term. Which is why every NFL owner should have to publicly apologize to Colin Kapernick and every other player who received abuse or threats from their employers over kneeling during the anthem. 

Kindly, get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

You are part of the problem.

Had a similar experience. Finance guy has my GTI parked outside the window to his office, tries to sell me on an extended warranty (car had 20k on it, coming off a 3 year lease) that included protection for the wheels. He looks and notes the rubber band tires on the 18" wheels and asks “You’re not worried that you…

It most definitely was

Please tell me it was a Turbo Grand Prix like you pictured.
