The reason the list of repairs is longer than a CVS receipt is that you’d have be on drugs to buy it!

Watching any classic car auction must make your head spin!

Westphail.

You are absolutely allowed to be picky when judging a 40-year-old car with a 5-figure asking price!

Building a diesel Scirocco is like replacing your testicles with racketballs.

Why isn’t it “Nice Price of Crack Pipe” anymore? Did you guys decide that was wahcist? White people smoke crack, too. 

I have an uncle who runs a BMW service shop in the Sacramento area, I once asked him what he thought about V12 E31s. He said it’s great from a mechanic’s standpoint, as he’ll likely end up owning the car (because of high service bill) and selling it again...and again...and again.  ND

Hmm...  I think the bus would need to be brown and maybe have a clutch pedal to get Jalop Queen status.  Or is this a Holy Grail bus?

Right. I believe it was also Mazda’s last longitude-RWD sedan, although they are reincarnating that layout with the next 6, along with an I6 engine.

Are you sure David and you aren’t related?

Welcome to 2021, the year in which a clean, running, driving car is worth $5k+ no matter the other variables

Yes it does, so I can move in next door and help wrench on his cool projects.
