Come to Southern California, where nothing rusts. I see them daily on the road.

That’s one of Seinfeld’s classic lines in a bit he used to do about car names. “Limited...to the number that people will buy.”

Weren’t these selling for over sticker when they were new?

I guess we had a tamer version of the game on the West Coast.

Like this? (But you know, black, and with blackwalls.)

In Southern California’s beach communities, $1.2 million gets you a tear-down on a 5000 sf lot.

I think for many of us, it’s not so much hating on the car as hating on the people who drive them. (Much like the Prius.)

That Limited Edition badge is like a participation trophy for cars.

“San Diego” is a big place, like L.A., and not all of it is right near the ocean. Go inland 20 miles and it can get toasty.

No A/C, along with the black paint and black interior (though no shots of the latter in the CL ad) mean that this thing will not see much use in the summer any day of the week. That thing’s gotta be a sweat lodge inside when the outside temperature gets over 90.

Centerline-like wheels and decent-looking tires add to the positives.

Yeah, people have been somehow conditioned to believe that gasoline just magically “shows up at the pump,” whereas electricity has a lengthy route to get to an EV charger by comparison.

Rather like all those “hoverboards” that by no means hover.

Appears to be a much better deal than this one:

True, but today’s cars are like 99% percent cleaner by EPA standards alone, compared to pre-1965 models. In many ways, CARB is unnecessarily redundant.

I think it was only the 2.0 TDI’s that didn’t have it. The 3.0 V6 TDI discussed in the article - used in the Touareg plus various Audis and Porsches - does already have a urea system.

Do you want to spend twenty five grand, just so you can take it to a Ford show and have people walking by it pause, say “Hmmm...” and maybe snap a picture with their phone before moving on?

“Hello, Enterprise? I’m going to need to rent a car for a day, as mine will be at the dealer for a recall.” (Said no 918 Spyder owner, ever.)

Careful, someone could put a hex on you.

And insist on a “free courtesy inspection,” during which they’ll find $600 worth of recommended maintenance and repairs.
