@sskkiilleeff: I almost went with the SZ, but I don't really like the interior. I guess I should really be looking at the road ahead.

@smokyburnout: Really for reals, though... The Fiero went out of production in 1988, and the ZR-1 came out in 1990... 1989 BMW 850i.
@ferric oxide: You're allowed to sell items you remove from the car and subtract the money made on those items from the purchase price of the car. I imagine you'd be able to make enough money selling real "JDM" interior parts to bring the effective purchase price to under $500.
@Fodder650: You could actually import one straight from the UK at this point, but it'd be cheaper to import one from Canada or buy one that's in the US already. Hard to find one that's not a basket case [seattle.craigslist.org] or a custom [toronto.kijiji.ca]
@Fodder650: The Ford Prefect was sold in Canada.
@Meat Robot, commenting apprentice: The factory agreed.
Speaking of announcers, do most LeMons races have play-by-play announcers on the PA at the track? Because the most annoying thing about being in the stands at LeMons New England (besides the part where I forgot sunscreen) was that I had to get on Jalopnik on my phone and read reports from Murilee to figure out who was…
@Murilee Martin: If these numbers are correct [www.ford-taurus.org] , they built 32,737 first-gens, 52,191 second-gens and 21,537 third-gens. So, they weren't the rarest to begin with. As of 2005, more than 50% of first-gen SHOs (17,483) were still on the road, compared to around 80% of second-gens (40,353). Can't…
@Nurburgring: "I have no idea...couldn't think of a better innuendo."
@BigEngineSmallCar: You can't get it with a stick shift and a clutch pedal, so you'd almost think it was designed with America in mind.
I just said, aloud, to myself: "Iron phosphate? If they really want to make it light, why isn't it aluminum phosphate?" It then occured to me that that's like fertilizer/explosive.
@Desu-San-Desu: Do you have any food here that isn't a wrap?
@CompWizrd: It's a Mercedes with 238,000 miles. Most of them have broken trip odometers by then.
@NaturallyAspergated: He was closer to being right. Toyota does currently field "Camry"-branded race cars in NASCAR, while GM stopped branding racers as "Monte Carlo" when the Monte went out of production in 2007.
@thisISaRant...: What? You've never seen a V6, mid-engined Corolla with wheel arches taller than the car's beltline on the street?
@smokyburnout: Read the link you're posting before you click share.
@porsche9146: Did I ever tell you how I got these dents?
@grzydj: Or, on a 911, OMGASSENGN.
