“If there is demand created for charging, companies will pop-up and charge to support it. Day 1 there may not be support there”.

This is a very pretty and well-sorted example of a surprisingly rare car (try to find one in any condition). Yes, an MX-5 will be newer and more reliable for the $$ blah blah blah. NP

If this car has really done 229,740 miles (and this can be proven) it would be the rarest Alfa Romeo........in the world. NP if Jeremy Clarkson will loan me the cash to buy it.

OK, I’ll play along:

$2K is where “somebody else’s project” (BAD!) becomes “I will give this the loving forever home it deserves” This is why the mrs doesn’t want me looking at Craigslist or visiting the Humane Society. NP

1983 Trans Am: The base engine produced 88 hp on a good day. There was a V-6 that made 125 hp. Hasn’t aged well:

I’m gonna be a contrarian. Yes, you can get a slighter newer Camry for this $ (albeit one with 100k on the clock), but the condition of this car makes the price almost legit. Not as reliable as a Toyota, but better than the average Dodge, this is an interesting(ish) ride for the non-conformist.

Gas-optional is great. Electricity only (no option) is not great. I don’t have range anxiety and would be happy with an EV that only went 150 miles on a charge IF I knew I could count on charge stations that were as common as gas stations. But they aren’t. And when you do find one it’s in some God-forsaken corner of…

I just clicked because “Shelby” and “Nissan” were in the same headline. I am pretty disappointed.

Sadly, $5k is the new $2k. reluctant NP

So to best enjoy a new EV, these two accessories are the key:

Brown(ish), manual, rear-drive wagon. Only a diesel Peugeot 504 is a more Jalop thing. NP

Big, off-roady looking pickup trucks with 4 doors and huge screens will no longer be popular. Wait, sorry-what’s the opposite of that?

All of the suggested cars are from VW? And the guy’s first requirement is that the car last a long time? The Carrera, sure but a Golf? The Golf came from the factory with the “check engine” light on. It will not be making ski runs 10 years from now.

They look better. They are easier to load. A lower roof means easier access to roof-mounted stuff. The look better. A lower center of gravity makes them less tippy. Also: they look better.

Subaru will sell you a “step” that fits over the wheel, in case you are not an NBA center :) I live in snowy Minnesota and I can confirm cars don’t need this much ride height. I just want my Legacy wagon back.

I just got one of these and honestly, it’s nearly as tall as all the other SUVs. I won’t be using the roof for Kayaks but I don’t think the Outback is the solution. Why are these things so darn tall?

Same- I think Polaris was even offering these as incentives to get workers to relocate to the frozen north.

Countach, Hands down. But we loved the style so much it didn’t matter.

I think withe Prowler style was the substance, and I’m OK with that
