About damn time. This thing is old but still gorgeous. Has anyone noticed though how much of a steal these things are used? I saw a 2008 the other day with just over 30 thousand miles for $33 grand. You can easily find them in the upper $20's low $30's all day.

Maserati always leaves me so conflicted. In my eyes they’re cars are beautiful, elegant, and sound absolutely fantastic.

The Benner family has ALWAYS treated my family well and they also didn’t fight any work on my modified car. I conceded them friends.

I remember my grandpa taking me to the automile near where he lived in Northern Cali, to see the just released 94 Mustang.... I was 10 so I can’t remember who let me start it (rep or manager), but it was awesome.

So two things I’m confused about:

You couldn’t change a tire?

I should note that I DID fill the tank AND washed the car inside and out before returning it to Todd and Selinsgrove Ford. 

February 2018:

I want to say it was that time I boned the hot receptionist at the Rolls dealer in a Drophead Coupe on the showroom floor after hours.

i started looking for a new car in 2013. i went through a lot of used cars, as my family rarely purchased cars new. nothing felt right.

My experience wasn’t exactly at the dealership, rather in my garage which is 350 miles away from the dealership.

I had a young kid come in to the dealership for his birthday (Yes, a small child chose to go to a car dealership rather than laser tag or a play place). Showed him the Raptor, showed him how the external reservoir shocks worked. Showed him all the little bits and pieces set up for offroad protection.

Their popularity is wildly disproportionate to the general public’s awareness that they exist.

Oh my god that is one hell of a jeep! You got all the boxes checked.

I had a particularly happy/fortunate experience at a dealership, although it had practically nothing to do with the dealer.

When I bought my SS, everything just went so smooth. I was offered a reasonable amount on my trade and I was in and out in less than two hours. Didn’t try to push anything extra like the warranty or anything, just let me sign the papers and drive away in my new Holden. 

Enjoy my extremely low “I haven’t had my coffee yet and have no sense of scale” effort Photoshop. 

I keep seeing these and thinking that there must be a way to fix the little goofy things like the headlights, grille, and fog lights that cheesily try to ape the dagmars of the original so that it looks cool and not old-man-in-striped-suspenders “cool”. But then it doesn’t seem like enough and I get carried away with

How would it look with a Vista Cruiser roof grafted on to it?

I would have loved for them to go full “Jet Age” on the interior. 

The exterior is not bad. But the interior is a big letdown.
