in that tiny sliver of the marketplace.

These are pretty popular with younger people due to the sheer absurdity of them.  It’s the Big Red Boot of the automotive world.

Everyone around here is an asshole.  But its more acceptable to be an asshole to certain groups than others.

A couple of them go to car museums but the majority will sit around and rot for decades before being taken to the crusher. Once prices drop too low, people aren’t going to put the effort into selling them.

Chrysler 300.

Yeah, I don’t see how the ZX fits this list when Mk4 Supra prices are in-fucking-sane. You could buy two nice 300ZXes for the price of one trashed Supra Turbo.

Whatever old car you hate: that’s the overpriced one.

I always found it amusing that like two exotic cars from the era straight up used 300ZX headlights (Bugatti EB110)

I want to see the specs on that Miata. It would be an amazing swap if you could get enough miles out of it to drive it to an autocross, do some runs, then drive it back.

It’s not bad test, it’s just kind of trite at this point. The point of a Cummins swap is to brag about having a Cummins swap. The result is usually a car that’s all hacked up, and often performs worse than if the person just modified the existing drive train or selected a more suitable engine.

I’m kind of surprised that cops didn’t know that kevlar vests offer poor puncture resistance.  You’d think they’d mention that in training.

Ah yes, because it’s so easy to clearly read the side of a vehicle that’s pulling you over. Police in Florida drive a fuck ton of unmarked and poorly marked vehicles. And refusing to pull over for an actual police officer is a good way to catch a case of the bullet holes.

This is aftermarket stuff.  Ford just slaps their FP logo on it, and offers a warranty for a hefty markup.

LOL, about 1% of buyers can even wring out a regular GT with traction control disabled.

These kits are surprisingly easy to install.

Most new products go through this stage where companies are throwing everything they can to the wall to see what sticks. As the market matures, companies eventually stop throwing and start looking at what’s sticking. This is where we are with EVs. We’re in the pruning stage for EVs.

Nissan has a crappy parts bin to reach into.

10% down on a lease? That kind of defeats the purpose.

Interest rate reductions are just another type of financial incentive.  We aren’t seeing much in the way of financial incentives, which, combined with higher interest rates means it’s not surprising that 0% rates are rare.
