Going NP on this because I firmly believe it will be a sough-after collectors’ item before long.  This is perhaps one of the weirdest mass-produced automobiles in history. 

There’s so much to process here. Chevy really anticipated the form factor of automobiles 20+ years in the future. Squint your eyes a little and it looks like just about every crossover out there. And even the dashboard isn’t that far off, being (what looks like) a single screen. Where things fall off are with the…

Emphatic NP at the listed price. ND at the real asking price. Yes, it’s cool. I have a soft spot for these refrigerator boxes on wheels. My family had one that they sold with well over 300k miles, and it was as reliable old mule. But this? I have no doubt that the seller put a ton of time and money into it, but $6k…

It’s going to be fun watching them pivot when the CyberTruck comes out looking more like, *gasp*, a truck.

I tend to look at it differently.  I think the Tesla brass knows that what they consider to be their “important” market segment won’t notice (or won’t care about) panel gaps.  So they focus a lot more on making sure that Ludicrous Mode works right and that the right sequence of button presses will put the simulated…

A massive majority of people that buy Teslas don’t care about, or even see, things like panel gap. If it results in water leaking into the vehicle or wind noise, that might change. But the average Tesla buyer wants a connected device that they can drive. As long as the infotainment is on point, they’ll be happy…

TRUTH.  Not only are they going to try to squeeze every last drop of blood out of the rock, but they’ll scare any other potential buyers away by finding problems that may not even exist.  Just not worth the trouble most of the time. 

Usually any signs of rust at all are enough to make me smash ND.  But the E39 M5 is a “bucket list” car for me.  NP on this bad boy. 

I actually have some experience with this one. I lived in a pretty shady part of my city during the depths of the great recession and property crime really spiked as times started to get tough. At the time, I had a VW Golf, old enough not to be “nice” but new enough not to be “trash.” Several friends of mine had had…

It’s hard to sell houses when you’re dead.  Mixing Xanax and alcohol isn’t a recipe for longevity.

She won’t be selling too many more houses if she keeps that up. 

I love all RX-7s. This one is unbelievable. Even if the engine is trashed, it shouldn’t be too hard to source a drop-in replacement. Failing that I know that there are lots of creative swaps that can be done without too much difficulty.

NP for the right application. The interior is so roached that I’m thinking dedicated track car. Strip it down to the bare essentials, slap in a couple of Recaros, repair worn components as needed. 

To paraphrase a great meme I saw last week: law enforcement won’t show up for the same reason Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana never perform duets. So, I mean, they’ll show up, just not in the guise we’d hope for or reasonably expect.

If you peel off the racing stripe, it’s pretty clean. But in general, it begs the question: why? They never should have done a convertible M3. End of story.

That’s a beautiful 740 (760?)!

Common misconception that the “DL” on the back is shorthand for diesel. It was part of Volvo’s archaic trim lineup prior to 1986. DL was the base trim, standing apparently for “De Luxe.” Then you’d move up to GL for “Grand Luxe” and GLT for “Grand Luxe Touring.” That’s right, the “T” didn’t actually mean turbo. Not…

As one of the Jeep die-hards that never really loved the 4-door “unlimited” form factor, the 2-door Discovery looks truncated and stubby to me.  

Step 1: presidential medal of freedom for Gym Jordan and Bill Belichick. 

Seller knows what they have. This is a remarkable example of a survivor, so I’m punching NP today.
