I am a big fan of the C4, probably because it was the Corvette of my teen years. 168k miles? Seller is higher than giraffe pussy.

I was just going to comment that the 76 model is FAR more desirable, and I’d happily pay $22k for one of those. 

It’s not for me, but it’s cheap speed. Marginal NP. 

Right, they only screw themselves in the end. I bought another Mazda later that year...and it wasn’t from them.

You can get a higher mileage but clean one WITH A GODDAMN MANUAL for not much more...so no.  $10k here is a good starting point. 

I know a dealership here that does that...OXMOOR MAZDA IN LOUISVILLE KY, I AM LOOKING AT YOU...they tried this shit with me. I told them to shove it up their keisters or sell the car as advertised at the price advertised, something about the state attorney general and FTC will be calling them otherwise, and they…

A roundabout will render a vehicle unusable? Have you seen the pickups people drive these days? Also, the small residential neighborhood roundabouts here are designed so fire trucks can cross them, because you are not maneuvering a 100' aerial around them.

Things that exist but I have never seen in person: Pontiac Sunbird Turbo ragtop with a stick. Fuck it money for that, NP for that alone. 

Mine was a 1984 S-10. 82 screaming horsepower, and the aerodynamics of a shed. Theoretically, it would hit 80....but I’m sure that would take a minute or two at WOT and a stiff tail-wind.

A cool piece of history in good condition for $4500? NP.

It’s a fair price for what it is, as long as you know what you are getting into. Hopefully the seller has full maintenance records.

Mirrors my thoughts. These are now firmly in the collectable car sphere, and really nice ones are quite affordable...too affordable to waste your time with this one. 

That 91 Camaro is a rare one, the 1LE package.

He ain’t climbing mountains and sleeping in the back in that Taurus. That’s what the cool kids are doing these days.

Fuel economy is for sissies. You want to overland some shit, or something.  $3250, spend the rest on weed and ski passes. 

You could daily this, but realistically it is now a car for a Volvo hobbyist to tinker with and have some fun as their second or third car.  On that thought, huge bonus points for this color.  I’d rather pay $5k, but NP.  

You can get a Ruger Redhawk chambered in .45 Auto.  A fine handgun. 

I went back and looked for the Pontiac Solstice, in manual GXP form. Damn, those are rare too, I found two in the $17k-ish range, and prices went way up from there. I assume people that want more power than a Miata would be happy with that turbo four. But if you want more room than a Miata, you won’t like the…

4 banger and slushbox, I don’t think that is a good comp, you will definitely notice 100 less hp in a 3700 lb car. 

Theoretically, the first gen Solara ragtop could be had with a V6 and stick, but I have never seen one. Second gen, the V6 was only offered with an auto.
