Not sure if a Dino qualifies as supercar for its time, but buried in a hole in the dirt is weird enough...

This right here.

That has got to be some of the most no-shit chilling video I have ever seen. And as far as I can tell a clean shoot no less. Only surpassed by an Army AH-64 blue-on-blue incident from Desert Storm... That one still makes me shiver.

That’s right - drive it like they’re about to make it illegal.

The antenna/flag are usually required in off-road parks for distance visibility - help to prevent accidentally collisions when your rig is down behind a hill and another rig comes cruising over the top, etc.

Not unless you live in a different part of the country from said person. In my experience, people who don’t care about what car they drive also don’t care how they drive it... I don’t want to be on the road with a careless driver in a ~8500lb behemoth.

Not mine, but a college friend had an ancient Pontiac (don’t remember the model) - IF it was cold and IF he turned on the indicator and made a left, the windshield wiper would swipe. Once.

As a great man once said:

I believe the only appropriate response to this photo is:

The engineer in me can't stop laughing at this.

Considering that a significant number of people (probably most) bought these cars primarily NOT for environmental reasons but mileage, I think what will happen is that (at least in states where actual emissions testing is not required) the owners will say, “oh well, fuck the environment, I am getting great mileage and…

Man if the price stays close to what it is now (<$3k) that is NP all day long. The blue interior and even the cracked dash shouldn’t be excessively expensive to fix/replace and getting a mid-engine RWD honey like this to hoon would be sweeeeet.

Actually, two weeks was the minimum time in the seat to collect the fat-ass severance check, then walk out with two middle fingers in the air.

Doug, hands down that is the stupidest reason that the car couldn’t be appraised. Seriously, has Pennsylvania never heard of the metric system, or unit conversions for that matter?

Right. Just the thought of the equivalent of a round-the-world-flight-distance in cable makes the practical side of me quiver.

This one is even more general insanity when actual material science got involved, since IIRC they were planning to connect the elevator cable to a geostationary station. At 22,000+ miles up.

You know, that is a fantastic point that pretty much everyone is overlooking: how people treat the private environment of their own vehicle. Personally, I don’t want ANY car to be filthy, and I treat my own as such - however I know a lot of people who don’t give a crap about their own, and only don’t throw trash on…

Close enough to NP (maybe 2500), and the little bit of rust/work done makes this a perfect candidate for a restomod/sleeper. Think cool little GTI killer.

Sweet, thanks for the info!

Oddly enough, a rental Xterra.
