I know comments on jalopnik get a lot of flak. And I know I don’t always agree with what you, or anyone else, say. But today? Today we stand united. United over the fact that Orlove may have broken more than just his beetle when he put it on its roof.

Could;ve been a wheel gun, could’ve been a jack handle, could’ve been a bit of debris that a team member pulled from a vent, could;ve been any number of things. He saw green, he knows green means go, he went. The car seemed fine when he left so why stop and worry when a hundredth of a second is important and a tenth…

...What?

counter-counterpoint, the bagheeras are rusty, crusty, and slow, even by matra’s standards. Murena is a bagheera they worked the bugs out of.

The diagonal stripes of the seats don’t help but the stick is closer to the driver than the middle passenger. There will probably be some leg touches though.

Listen Ballaban, the Talbot-Matra Murena was the best 3 seater Matra. You can still choose the bagheera, if you enjoy choosing WRONG that is.

As others have pointed out - this car was stripped after being crashed and rebuilt for pennies to sell the shell and motor and trans as one. The interior in this car is, at best, GTI spec. R32 spec looks like this:

I’m with others - it’s exactly the sort of thing to see. Makes you think twice before being an asshole and splitting between cars recklessly and riding without gear. I see vids like this and I’m glad I refuse to ride without my jacket and boots and helmet and the whole 9 yards. Yeah there are still some crashes that…

Oh they’re on the way up right now, but I mean these cars could be 100k+ for low mileage examples in a decade or two.

It’s on its way already, but the clownshoe Z3/ZM are going to be stupidly high in the next 10 years for good examples.

I am 100% certain my radio’s last words before a sudden golf club infusion crushes its guts will be

Wrong off roading porsche. Need something air cooled.

Yes, but what if you have a Sick Gut kind of day?

God I hate them almost as much as I hate the van andel flikemma ads. The “we give you 4000$ over value” BS and whatnot is so misleading. Weirdly enough, people who shop there with no trade seem to get decent deals too. Coworker went there after their lease was up and drove off in a cherokee for something like 5k under…

Being a part of the Focus ST forums, people in this scenario then try and pass on their pain to everyone else. I can see what you’re saying, but the majority of the time these people are dicks about being screwed. So while this looks mean from the outside, if the mustang board is anything like the FoST board, these…

It’s still here, we just no longer know how to make cars that fucking AWFUL. I have a base radio in my Focus ST and it has bluetooth and everything but no touchscreen or fancy computer stuffs to glitch out and have issues with. Works 100% as advertised. No fancy google apps and maps and stuff, but the bluetooth…

“The ad claims that the car ‘runs and drives fine.’”

Gotta give them a hand for their enthusiasm!

If you look at it in terms of sheer numbers, then yes that one looks worse. But in terms of failure rate/injuries/fatalities per tire produced, then these are worse. Not many RVs are sold or get a new set of tires every year vs. the hundreds of thousands of passenger cars either sold with, or re-shod with, a given set…
