Yeach, but remember, four grand is the new floor for a running, driving car these days. That's right about half what he's asking, rust or no.

He’s had it 13 years and is finally sick of sinking money into it. But he wants everything he’s put into it back.

I'm calling it a tentative NP. Pending a thorough inspection, I think it's within negotiating distance.

For a running, almost driving BRAT, this actually a NP, provided the rust isn't too extensive. I'd hoon it!

A running driving car for under four grand? And one that looks this good? NP all day! Even a Renault!!

Here’s kind of a weird take: the Ford Maverick is embarrassing. Not to Ford, though. It’s embarrassing because it is a HUGE success, but no other automaker seems to be able to create their own version! It should be so simple!!! Just take your small CUV, lengthen the wheelbase a bit, and add a bed!

Say good Nite, Gracie. This guy is delusional.

Preach!!

Similarly, please do NOT buy some sort of novelty tool. Years ago, I was gifted this weird wrench thing that had a pivoting head with multiple size box wrenches. I already had full sets of wrenches, and it was so bulky, it was useless in anything but absolutely open space.

Whem my oldest son was ready to get his license, I drove him down to the DMV testing facility. We pulled up to a nondescript gray cinderblock building with following instructions in foot high block letters painted on the side facing the parking lot:

Is there really a better way to proclaim your automotive weirdness than by driving a CrossCab?

My worst bike passenger ever was, surprisingly, not my wife, who hates riding with me.

What’s a soul going for these days? I hear that's the price of going racing.

Is $7k a lot for one of these? Is it just the price of entry?

Eeeeeeeeh... if you don't have your M endorsement, I'm going to assume you're not an experienced street rider. A Hayabusa is most definitely NOT a beginner bike. Please be safe out there!

Sure, it's got 300k miles, but if those maintenance records check out, this is a NP. Another case of buying the owner, not the car.

NP!!

I mean, for the money, you could do a LOT worse.

He knows what he’s got. Good for him. Hope he likes it, but that mileage indicates he hasn’t much.

Rationally, this is ND, all day. It is objectively a bad vehicle that needs a lot of work.
