I’ve always bought cars in cash and keep selling them for more than I buy, at probably an average of 5k more than the last (with some weirdos thrown in). Largely because I think like you (had and Elise, S Class, Classic Mini, and Viper). So the most is all relative to the time.

true. I daily drive an 02 and you must respect it. But it’s really not too bad with good tires and an understanding of what it is.

I though the same thing as I’ve been looking at them since selling my classic mini. I went to Petrolicious today and it pretty much solidified that it will be my next car.

I’m stealing this shamelessly from now on.

Yes. Always demand to talk to a decision maker. A middleman is nothing more than a tactic to get you to pay more.

Nope.

Don't say that. The reason I thought of it is I'm thinking of getting one to replace the classic mini I just sold, but probably shouldn't!

You are just helping my case...that’s two surprises in one date!

This one is too easy because I can’t think of too much more surprising. Not much quirkier than this. It says you don’t take yourself too seriously, have interesting taste, and like to have fun.

I think it's way more interesting than the skyline (which is also interesting.)

Wow I'm actually pretty impressed with that time and your speed. I'm one of those army guys that has spent a fair amount of time on a hmmwv and I don't think they were ever that fast. Super fun in a desert though!

Forgot the Elise. It got better gas mileage for me than that mini JCW, I'd venture to say most would find it more fun.

Very true. I just have never had a desire to own any VW that wasn’t 30 years old at least, so unfortunately I can’t capitalize on their problems

Bad situation. Feel terrible for your average VW employee or salesman that is going to struggle for no fault of their own.

For 20k there are countless better options. Not even a decision.

This FTW

Actually, I know this and was just kidding around. Because of Doug I have wasted many an hour on carmax’s website looking for used C63’s

I wonder how hard it is for a dealership to get a restraining order...

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for the good pre night night read!

Then don't believe it.
