A friend of mine had a 1988 one of these - it was one of the most unreliable pieces of shit I’ve ever had the displeasure of being stranded by. The fact that they are restoring these to factory spec and not actually upgrading them so that they aren’t abysmal is truly sad. And then they cost more than a fully loaded…

I don’t know... there’s no smile on her face, nor a trace of anything I would call adoration. It almost looks like she’s examining his prodigious nostrils for wayward crusties.

Well it’s less weight, but let’s just say that not eating cheeseburgers for a couple weeks will probably do the same thing for weightloss for your car when you stuff your butt in it. Possibly more.

I sold one last year - Originally purchased by my grandmother with 18K on the clock from Avis. My dad sold it to me, I sold it to my mom, and when she passed away it went back to me. 109K miles on it, and I sold it for $1700 after asking $2K.

Not necessarily - I got $7K off MSRP on a Odyssey back in October. I specifically had another dealer tell me that I was going to get bait & switched when I went in because I would qualify for all the discounts, and that including those was the only way he could come close to matching the price I was offered. I had…

I was being too pedantic again, wasn’t I?

And yet, it is probably still worth more than a brand new Breitling. Such is the way of Rolex (and no, I’m not really a fan of the brand).

Hublot are definitely for the stupid rich. Emphasis on stupid. There has never been a more overblown BS “high end” watch brand.

Are you basing that off of a 40 hour work week, or every minute of the year, 24 hours a day? Because as best as I can find, Kimi’s 2017 contract is 7 million guaranteed, with up to a 10 million dollar bonus. That’s approximately $8,173 an hour, based on a 40 hour work-week, or $136 a minute. If we take that to 24/7…

Umm, why no late ‘90s Corolla? Those things are bomb-proof, and way less than $2K.

I believe that English should be more like German, and make up words to convey full ideas. With that being stated, I hereby declare that “tasteless and boorish rich who love to parade their terrible sense of style all over the place” can be summarized in the word “Trumpdashian”.

So, uh, you live in Detroit? I can’t think of anywhere else you can buy a 6 bedroom house for 62,500.

Contrary to popular belief, Americans do not have a monopoly on obesity.

Wait what? No effing way. They can not possibly tell you that you can’t drink a beer in your back yard.

Who the hell trades in a car with 77 miles on it? How is that even possible?

I’m guessing you were already replying to my comment, and I am sorry about that. I commented, then scrolled down further, read the other comments and yours, and then went back and deleted mine, all within a period of about 3 minutes, because as you say people had already been all over you, and your explanation of…

Eh... deleted.

Can’t remember where exactly but there was a worse story than this I once read - essentially the kid and his dad went and looked at a car that was $6K, and it was heavily foreshadowed that he might be getting it for his high school graduation. Instead he got a Bible. Kid angrily stalks out and never talks to his…

It’s better looking anyway - I actually don’t get the reverence for the MkIV over this, other than it being newer and the TT model being a beast. I’m not even a fan of most ‘80s cars and this thing just looks incredible.

That’s still one of the stupider PSA style anti-piracy ads, which ignores the biggest flaw in their “stealing” argument - stealing a car deprives another person of use of said car. Downloading music or a TV show does no such thing. I’m not saying it is right, but they are not an apples to apples comparison.
