It doesn’t tick any boxes other than RWD and mid-engined. It’s slow, cramped, drives awfully and is ill-suited to highways. It shines in the old world, with a manual transmission, staying within old-world city limits where streets are narrow and parking is a constant challenge.

A super hot take for Jalop: there ain’t nothin’ wrong with a Civic/Corolla/Camry.

Something’s gotta be around for making parts runs.

Just as background information, here’s a not-quite-EE/physics-level but still moderately deep dive into starter motors... and as well as information about a once familiar but now relatively obscure bit of our history, the generator (including the need to polarize it upon installation).  

Er, Ryan-quick editing note, I think something was lost in this sentence. Google was pitching Tesla to use Google’s tech, not Uber’s, I’m almost certain.

Yes and no…

True, but most people would just think it’s a Fiero :/

Please point me in the direction of these perfectly fine $10k Deloroans?

If you can find any I’d suggest you beg, borrow, steal the money and buy them as you will make a killing.

And if you spend that fortune to remove the paint, you’ll almost surely discover why they painted it. Which will require yet another fortune to deal with.

Yeah. I’ve heard paint is often a way to fix one of these on the cheap. General advise is to stay away if it has been painted.

Painted because of body damage and they couldn’t replace the panel?

It’s gonna cost a fortune to remove that red paint. Who the hell wants a non-stainless Delorean?

There is a contingent within the Trump administration, possibly including the man himself, that wishes to dismantle the administrative machinery that actually makes the government work, and even considers its operators to be their enemies. (Thus the mutterings about a “deep state” conspiracy within the government that…

Here the Roman does a deep-dive into the history of both Daimler and Chrysler

I guarantee that this is what the seller was originally thinking that he’d do, before *something* happened. Like he found out how hard/impossible/etc it would be.

Good news for people who like bad news, as Modest Mouse might say.

I was with you until you got to the “for 30 years” part. The only way to source enough parts to keep an old Audi running for 30 years is to buy a VAG factory.

Unless you like problems, then $3200 is a steal.

I’ll be honest, anything this old, don’t care how cheap it is, will come with bags of problems. Especially VAG car. No thanks.

Owned an ‘82, so I know what I’m getting into. CP all the way. It could be fault with the dash, or it could be the fuse box these have notorious problems with. Either way, you’re potentially $3k more in fixing those. The fact that no mileage is given, and that the seller is willing to give away a quattro sedan means…

$475 for “Nitrogen inflated tires” and that the reason I should get it was that it saves the dealership money by not having to pay someone $65/hr to fill up tires all day with just air.
