Let’s see...costs nearly $6K, a price I wouldn’t call a bargain to begin with, and it needs a lot more work. WTF?

So what answer is there besides Toyota?

An absolute No Dice however: if I had time, money, and know-how to fix it up, I’d probably buy it 😅

I’m with you.  A Bangle butt juts out with an obnoxious bulge that does not click with the rest of the car’s styling.  This blended-in spoiler accentuates the car’s rear end nicely.

The “tough” life of a publicity fiend proving that she has no shame....

A BMW without the snout:

Mmm not quite; bangle butt was a rounded, bulbous monstrosity out of proportion with anything else around it. This is actually kind of crisp and nice.

“High fashion” may be the dumbest thing humanity has ever created.

He’s in the ballpark for what these Ferraris go for. I suppose someone else sees “panache” with this car, I see pain-in-the-ass: it’s white, a color that works great on Lambos, but does a face-plant here. It has a scruffy Dark Baby Shit Yellow interior, an automatic, and styling that’s about as lackluster as you can…

Yes, the Challenger with the 5.7 Hemi is the perfect answer—just like what I wrote yesterday. Again, the handling will absolutely shock him for how good it is. When you’re on the Interstate and throw it into 6th gear, the Dodge eats up the miles like they’re nothing. And that monster trunk....

I’ll tell you what the difference is; flexing on the Honda bros that you paid more for what’s essentially the same vehicle.

I saw one of those professionally customized Challenger convertibles at Dodge Speed Week in Vegas last year when the Demon 170 was introduced. The Challenger looks so good as a convertible. And given how monstrous the Challenger’s trunk is, I believe it’ll still pack a ton of stuff as you head off for that great road…

Meh, considering how jaw-droppingly expensive everything was for that Las Vegas Grand Prix, $10K is looking like a bargain for tootling around the Mediterranean doing F1 stuff. I wouldn’t pop for it, but puh-lenty of other folks will.

First F1 race I went to was Monza with GP Tours. I’m not the “tour group” kind of person but not knowing the language, having to arrange transportation/hotel/reservations and keeping a group of 5 people from killing each other was more responsibility than we wanted. The entire tour group was ~15 people which, granted,…

Just like I wrote yesterday, high-end Germanmobiles with some years on them are the Wrong Stuff—cheap to buy and expensive to own—as the parts’ cost causes your credit card to melt. But yes, this Benz is in such great shape and his price is so reasonable, that it’s an NP. (I can’t believe I wrote that, yet here we are.…

“... what is probably the most direct way to experience performance and driving pleasure.”

I’m like you, I don’t get the math of a RV. Even for “heavy users”.

I don’t get RVs. They’re a horrible hybrid of cars and tents that aren’t good to drive and aren’t real camping. And like, the low end price for a new motor home is 50 grand, how many nights in actual hotels could you afford JUST on the interest for that?

We are on our second Travel Trailer, Paid cash for both and bought both used.
