The car was weird, mostly dreck when new, and this one is beat to SHIT. I fail to even see how there’s a question here. CP.

For a long time, I frequently wore shirts repping my alma mater for reasons of sports fanhood. I actually grew up a fan of this school’s teams as well, since my father is likewise an alumnus. In recent years, as I’ve become increasingly disgusted and disillusioned with the very existence college athletics, I find…

...or you could do things proper-like, skip the ground beef, and make your chili with something like a brisket or chuck roast.
I haven’t fiddled with ground beef for years except when making burgers, and for those I grind my own. A store-bought package of ground beef will never again darken my door.

Back in the mid- to late ‘90s, I was a NASCAR guy and a big Rusty Wallace fan. My #2 driver? Buckshot Jones. He never sniffed a win of anyfuckingthing.

So, like, hard-nipple LS swap?

Like a crappily “future car”-ified Pontiac Sunfire had a baby with a Saturn Ion. Ugly as shit, with legendary Fiat reliability.
A giant bag of crack pipes.

It’s a touch steep, but it’s in very good condition with such low miles. Given that there are effectively zero of these available, this gets a slim NP from me, even though I don’t care for all the black black BLACK BLACK BLAAAAAACK.

I like this, and I really *want* it to be a NP...sleeper, check. Wagon, check. V8, check. Pretty clean surfaces, check.
On the other hand, mileage on both the chassis and the mill, plus the laundry list of “oh btw this and that and the other thing don’t work” make a price just short of $14k unequivocal Crazytown.

Lamenta…

I had a ‘92 Buick Park Avenue that was the SHIT on road trips because it was like a giant gray living room on wheels.
...until the odo hit 100k, and then it was just SHIT.

am not ok with this Muppet disparagement

You should get some spinners and rig them to regeneratively charge the battery. That’d really just set the whole thing off.

I don’t care how extensively rebuilt it is; $13k for a less-pedestrian, but still not pulse-pounding ‘80s automobile with over 300,000 miles on the clock is crazytown.

To be fair, this aesthetic is very on-brand for New Jersey in general.

I wanted them to build the Chevy Borrego concept because rally cars are cool. Could’ve been an American WRX fighter. 

It looks like an Audi Q5 had a baby with a Porsche 928, in a good way.

I know lots of folks here are not necessarily daunted by high mileage, but for me, $25k for a car with 163,000 on the clock is an almost automatic ND. That this one is an (admittedly beautiful) Bimmer that’s about to start eating gaskets and clutches and whatnot has me reaching for the old trusty (rusty?) crack pipe. 

Pirates of Dark Water should be on here. I really need to know if those last 5 treasures ever got collected.

I have a very soft spot for the mid-’80s LeBaron convertible, having grown up in my father’s cream-colored ‘86. I think the design has aged really nicely, and although the K-car guts are nothing special, they’re also not terribly difficult to work on/upgrade/Hemi-swap.
To boot, this one is cheap and in decent enough…

This worked like a charm for me. Told the person “Yes, I drive a 2020 Ferrari SF90 Stradale.”
...stutter stutter stutter...“Do you have any other automobiles in your household?”
“No.”
...stutter stutter stutter...Click. No calls in 5 days since.

Here’s how Tom Cruise is as a person: He’s an awful human being who has benefited significantly from slave labor and the adulation/protection of a pseudo-religion that treats him as a demigod and maintains its status in order to protect ill-gotten capital and morally bereft leaders.
