Bingo.
I continually find myself wondering, what actual *service* do these “services” render here?

Oof. That ass end looks like an automotive diaper. Particularly awful given that this fugly-mobile is, realistically, going to cost any buyer 6 figures (or at least darned close to it), irrespective of trim level.

It looks great and the story is cool, but how on earth could that powertrain accomplish anything even vaguely truck-like? Methinks the vehicle’s novelty would wear off quickly in light of the fact that its practical exterior belies its mechanical inability to deliver on that promise.

Supercars don’t matter because
1) the overwhelming majority of drivers, even the enthusiasts, will never even sniff one,
2) even those who do buy them drive them so infrequently as to make them tragically unused paperweights, and
3) the significant majority of supercars are downright fugly.

Interior is pretty beat...bordering on clapped out. The gigantic rust scab on the hood seems to suggest more such rot hiding here and there throughout the truck. It’s underpowered and not all that utilitarian really, other than weekend runs to Home Depot and whatnot. And it’s pushing 200k miles. Obligatory “Yes, I

When shopping for her first automobile, my wife test drove (and thankfully did not like) the HR-V. I intentionally sat in the back to test things like interior space and comfort, and also found it to be oddly cramped (even in comparison to my multiple friends’ Honda Fits). Those oh-so stylish raked rooflines sloping

The purchase price strikes me as less than half of the actual total cost to get this thing sorted out, and the incredibly odd placement of the hood ornament is, for me, far more disqualifying than I might have expected it to be. ND.

I understand that these are great base rigs for various tuner projects, but I can’t fathom how a 30-plus year-old car is somehow worth 12 large, rebuilt motor or not. Just because it’s less shitty than most other 240s on offer doesn’t mean it’s worth that much.

I hate myself for liking things like this and the Excalibur and whatnot as much as I do. Plus this one seems pretty damned clean and well-sorted. Nice, but admittedly irrational Price.

The styling on this is more interesting than it has any right to be...basically, automatic bonus points for “shooting brake” (whether or not they had the good sense to call it that).

I don’t usually get all feel-y about this kind of thing in NPOND, but those wheels are truly horrific, both for the fact that the rubber bands they ride on will absolutely ruin the ride, and for the fact that they’re spectacularly fugly. It’ll take like $2500 minimum to remedy that situation x4, so ND for that.

Brad Garrett would seem to fit the bill at first blush too.

This thing is fuckin’ rad, all the way down to the racing stripes. When these twin cars first dropped, I thought the Saturn was significantly more attractive, but now I find that the Pontiac has aged better. Love this idea, love the execution, love the final product. Great job, everybody.

I think it’s because Acuras are at least rebadged versions of well-made cars, whereas Infinitis are rebadged fucking Nissans.

GMC trucks start at like $12k more (at least) than their similarly-appointed Chevy counterparts. I’m sure that GM and most dealers would be happy to usher customers into more-expensive vehicles, but it would (further) price a lot of buyers out of their trucks. I drive a Silverado, and though I would love to have a

This is more or less exactly what I came down here to say (not that I’ll ever get out of the grays anyway). That’s far too much coin for a GM automobile of that vintage, irrespective of condition (which is actually good in this case) or mileage (which is reasonable given age, but not price).

Mr. Delgado has a GoFundMe page going, for all commenters who’ve expressed concern for his ability to recover.

Still a looker (mildly lamentable front fascia notwithstanding), all the more so in light of the WRX’s ongoing crossover-ish watering down.

The mileage is in the sweet spot of “used enough, but still has a good bit of life left.” Lots of bonus points for the provided compression reading.

Hot take: Not only are Peeps horrific, but Cadbury Eggs (inexplicably referenced herein as a somehow superior Easter candy), are likewise trash.
