Normally a 20 year old German car would be a ND from me, but at this price — for this kind of performance — I think the ask is just about worth the gamble. It’s still a close call, though, and I think for me it would come down to the vibe I got from the seller.

This is a supercharged gen 1 Mini. The convertible didn’t get a redesign for an extra couple years. Hardtops went turbo after 2006. R52 convertible production ended 2008 or 9. The supercharged engines were more reliable than the turbos that immediately followed them but they still weren’t particularly robust and were…

A $110,000 Jeep wrangler is basically the equivalent of driving the “men will spend anything to avoid going to therapy” meme to work. 

No Land Rover. I guess CR just assumes everyone already knows not to buy a used one.

Ugh, it's an obvious joke, but I did Na Zi it coming. 

Linking to the actual lap videos:

As much as I love a good mini-truck, this one just seems sad. It’s got a dorky GT package that hasn’t aged well, a bad paint job, dated brown interior, at least 133K miles, etc. If it was pristine and original it might be worth the price as a minor collectable, but this is neither show car or work vehicle. It’s just…

There’s a bit of deceit in the “average engineer” driver type of statement. They used different engineers at each track but a couple of them are basically amateur race car drivers vs. the average 55yr old ‘vette buyer who at best took a lap around the neighborhood HOA looking for mailbox violations.

I work at a Lexus dealership. My job is to work with customers in the service lane who want to sell or trade-in their aging Lexus. I’ve seen these, regularly, with over 300k miles and still running like new. We took one in on trade once with 350k miles, it was in good enough condition that we could put it on the used…

The Teslas steer directly into the nearest light pole, to showcase their safety.

Sad white folks bitching about the halftime show, but just totally ignoring the savage murder of the Chiefs on live tv

They were chasing a pair of Blues Musicians...

Too much for this car. If they think it is worth $105k, they should put it on BAT with no reserve and see what it brings. 

Not sure who the market is for these cars. I mean, the truly rich want the latest and greatest bespoke models to show off; this strikes me as a toy some aristocrat got bored with. So what does buying this one say about the buyer? Can’t afford a new one? Stretching to be a bit of a poser? Not really an enthusiast but so…

The answer to this is a Toyota Sienna.  Or a Honda Odyssey.  That’s it.

who said that the legality of such a move would be deeply suspect

Didn’t you get the memo? A new Executive Order went out. You don’t have to legislate reality away any more; they’re cutting out the middle man. You don’t need to pay any legislators to change the rules to allow you to fleece the public. You can just skip straight from your initial delusion right to the outright fraud,…

Very nice. All the tires are the same pressure. Great work. 

You got that right.

Seriously, what the fuck are y’all trying to do to me? Between this and the $20K Bentley in Vegas earlier this week (not a NP/ND car), I mean you’re telling me I can have a total of 22 combined all luxury cylinders for $35K all-in? $1,600 a cylinder? 1002 combined horsepower? For $35K? I mean, shit, I can use one to…
