I had a ‘93 MR2 Turbo, and it’s still the only car I truly regret selling. IF I could inspect the car and it checked out I’d do 16K on it. I don’t understand why they didn’t shoot current pix which is an obvious red flag.

I would truly love to have this car, but that’s just too much cash for what it is. $12k would be a lot closer to the mark for my area.

They were in the process of moving the George Bush 41 to his Presidential Library, and wanted to bring it along for exhibition. Thank you so much for the recommendation, I hopefully will be able to check it out sometime! And I can’t think of any current 4WS cars, but with torque vectoring diffs, I think it’s become a…

Thank you so much!

Very cool, I would travel to see that. If you are ever in Sacramento, California or nearby (say, in Tahoe or San Francisco, a hour or so away), the California State Railroad Museum has a nice collection of engines and rolling stock, including dining cars with fine china sets from back in the day. They have occasional…

Toni I just want to say you’re crushing the weekend job

Magic. And strong bearings and proper cooling. And more magic. (Because you’re right - components are over-stressed)

“you can see well enough out of it (although it’s rear window is teeny tiny)“

1965 called. They want their graphics back.

I know the obvious answer here is, “Yeah, but can everything else take the stress.” In my experience, adding this kind of power without upgrading other components has only lead to problems.

You’d also be an idiot not to take 0% for 84 months, as is being offered now.

None of this surprises me. My brother and sister-in-law are typical, uneducated, working poor. They have two full-size Chevy trucks that they bought used, on 6yr loans (and overpaid for at a dealership). And because they have shitty credit (of course), even with my Mother co-signing they are paying like 12% interest.

I wonder if one of the eventual effects of this pandemic will be a decrease in the average price of a vehicle. I can’t help but think that people might actually not be ok with a $35k car for the next couple years.

I think that you are right about that.

So I can do my part by taking out a second car loan at like 48 month to help lower the average, right?

Shitty boomer David Ramsey advice. I’m not going to tie up $12k in some used car if my credit union will finance it at 2.75%.

Hi, wasn’t your feature piece on a very very expensive Audi just yesterday?
