Do these things actually sell at these prices? Every time I go look at STI/EVO prices I can’t help but think everyone on CL has been hitting the CP. No one actually buys a second hand, 10 year old, modified $40k car for $25k do they?

I saw a lot of these cars in person (both from the first and second movie). Almost all ones from the first were all hot garbage up close and clearly just meant to look the part. The ones from the second were better but still slapped together (seems they had more done in the “show” category with very little in the go).

Unlimited Aero? Check

When is the reveal expected again?  I feel like we should have seen it already.

Any track times (even 1/4 mi?)

I was expecting to read about a crash that removed one from existence.

I continually tell the story of failing the wrong test and having them hand me a license anyway.

California has been paying $4 a gallon for a while now.  It doesn’t stop anyone.

Having worked at a “tuner” shop in Southern CA in the early 2000s Signal was one of those big things around the import scene. Motorex was still a thing, FWD getting into the 9s was a big thing, the current street racing laws weren’t in place and the term JDM wasn’t plastered on everything. It was definitely a cool

I thought this was a thing for a surprising amount of my childhood...

This seems like a pretty big leap from the one or two decrepit old ice cream trucks that I wont let my kids near.  One looks like the truck driven by the clown in the demolition derby game and the other looks like a modified “free candy” van.

Ok, you guys need to set some new rules so we can get some variety in these decisions:

There are a staggering number of people who don’t even test drive the second largest purchase they will ever make...

I know people will disagree but I think the V6 S4 is a good candidate for this.  Can be had for under $30k in great condition.  Fast.  The V6T is a workhorse in a ton of other Audi vehicles and has been super reliable across the board.

moisture can seep into the battery cell through a wiring harness glitch

I think they are silly but hate is such a strong word. Also,

What tires are being used?  I know this was built for hillclimb but weren’t the S1's able to sprint from 0-60 on gravel in under 2s?

I live in Southern CA but not in a place that has these scooters. I was in the same boat for a long time but I have been down in the Long Beach area for a few weeks. Every major walkway has several of these things thrown down in the middle. People (teenagers) drive them like idiots around people and children and you
