What a pussy. I fucked up shit for free when I was younger. ;-)

I say you should offer them 50 bucks for it and buy it back and start again. I see this as a very sick, weird, and probably useless opportunity. Perfect for you.  ;-)

The absolute batshit craziness of these Russians is off the charts. I will watch anything they do. It is the ultimate, “here hold my beer” of lunacy, engines and wheels together. Makes me wish I spoke Russian because I imagine it is even funnier in Russian.

David. why don’t you just move a little further out to a property with more space and where all your rust can be stored way back off the road among trees and not visible to the public.

Ok, you’ve had your fun Jason. Now can you put the tesla motor in it and stuff some more batteries in the front. Now we need to pimp that thang to the max.

Reminds me of my days as a large systems engineer in the early 80s. Our “big” 80 meg CDC (Control Data) drive (the size and weight of an old 1960s fridge) could have extra storage space liberated by changing some dipswitch settings to enable access to another drive platter, which made more financial sense to CDC to…

Tough call but probably the right one. With all that Peruvian marching powder there, I am certain someone would have come calling sooner or later. Better that they, the snow’s “rightful owners” know that it is no longer there.

I REALLY want to see a Tesla upgrade slapped into this puppy. There is ample space there for it and also space in the front for more batteries. Come on, you’ve had your fun Torch. This is a ride that cries out to be pimped. Hand it over to a Custom car shop like Counting Cars, let them do some crazy shit with it and…

They are indeed beautiful. I’ve lived down here for many years and I am still kicking myself for not buying one for peanuts about 18 years ago. What I did buy however, was nearly as cool, a Brazillian Type 3 fastback which I kept for about 6 years. Wish I’d never sold it.

Loving your enthusiasm there Torch. It may even be worth importing them and selling them as golf carts at that price. What amazes me is that they spelled FASHION correctly. That in itself is a whole lat of awesome.

It is driving me frickin nuts. Fix it Kinja NOW !!!!

To get 2 miles at that age, I say we make him an honorary Jalop and send him a swag bag.

You already have the original motor stripped down so just re-bore it and be done with it. There will not be much difference in the overall cost but you will learn more if you rebuild your original engine and you will know the engine as intimately as you can with your pants on. As for affecting resale value, how much…

Using an SP2 body would be like gold plating a turd in terms of money spent on this.

Sweet Jesus, my eyes are bleeding.

Greed

Well deserved. And Elon being Elon won’t blow it all on bling (although he may buy some weed). He will most likely invest most of it back into SpaceX.

Let me just translate this story for y’all.

Simple. Take whichever has the most rust. It’s a no-brainer dude.

After the end of days, the cockroaches will all be driving diesel mercs.
