Asking price is “what the hell” money, bordering on junker money. The car runs & has decent bones. If you have the space for this & the heart (a bit of a masochistic streak helps), it’s good as is or put some elbow grease into it.

Asking price is less than “what the hell money”. More like salvage money. On top of raw material you get a vehicle that mostly runs that you can solve like a puzzle, do a hot engine swap with, or part out for a tidy profit.

I don’t get why the smaller IQ costs slightly more than a Yaris, which is a pube above slightly larger than an IQ. The IQ is smaller, made of less “stuff”. Is there something about the size that requires more effort? Is a bigger shoehorn needed (i.e. is assembly more intricate because of less space to work in &…

If there is 1 reason, then it’s this: simple, tangible HVAC controls.

It’s a larger scale equivalent of the cat sitting in front of your monitor in an attempt to get your attention.

1 of our local Walmarts had a clandestine meth lab in the basement, in 1 of the safest towns in the US no less! (#1 for a few years actually)

Meh.

I thought that Rim-Blow is a Ford thing.

Why does every goddamn auto marque feel the need to make a fucking SUV? Rolls-Royce? Really? Porsche? Really? Now the ultra compact 2 seater that’s not a Corvette needs to go higher to keep up with the Joneses.

Lack of 4WD kind of defeats the purpose of something like this. Then again, slightly easier to maintain & a pube more fuel efficiency.

Plot twist: most buyers are rich hipsters who can afford to be this ironic.

This has traveled a lot of roads. But it looks great, & I will assume that the owner did baby this as if it were his job, which it kind of was. Asking price is 1 hair above “what the hell” money, which should allow you to get not much more than a beater these days. Not really fully equipped ‘cause it’s missing a pedal…

Jalopnik, hire this person!  That was a bit of good writing.  Almost lost my breath reading.

Felt for the kid until it was stated that he had something to do with Chick-Kill-Gay. Maybe this purchase fiasco is karma for associating with an organization/president that supports foreign regimes that literally put homosexuals to death.

And it evolves into a sex based business because of American society’s ass-backward view of nudity. “Oh, we’re not allowed to see nakey. Mom & Dad say nakey is evil. Oh look! A boob!” As long as we keep having this attitude that nudity is for some reason forbidden for us mere mortals, there will always be someone who…

This sums up succinctly many American attitudes.  I just shake my head in disbelief.

More puritanical suppression of something natural, making a laughingstock of American culture, not to mention perpetuation of the gender-based double standard. Yeah, we have the biggest economy in the world, but are firmly stuck in Queen Victoria’s England.

Yeah, but not even the sexiest car in the world will get me laid. So I may as well get a car that I myself alone love. This isn’t it (plus of course missing pedal).

All this effort & a goddamn slushbox?  CP.
