This car is currently on eBay for $140,000.
Dear Jalopnik - I still hate your layout. I've tried to like it but frankly, it's just awful. I used to look at your site 10-20 times daily and now I don't.
@Rufus760: Heart click.
NP. Who'd you rather?
Lindsey Lohan while eating crack - I mean crackers - in the bed or Tammy Allen just being her crazy-eyed dusty old self?
Hint: Both answers are wrong.

@suss6052: Yep. That's just herpes/bed bugs/hepatitis waiting to happen.
Good early vibes, which TGUSA never had. Keep it moving.
@ZOMBIE SPIEGEL: From one font geek and Comic Sans hater to another...here is my gift to you.

Douchebaggery. The word for which you're looking is "douchebaggery."
No dialogue AT ALL for the first 40 minutes. No kidding. You desperatley want for it to be entertaining but it just isn't.
If you dig directors like Tarantino and Andereson you'll kill yourself trying to get through it.

Looks like a splash of Panamera in the 2nd pick. That's not good.
That's slightly used Boxster S or Z4 money. Hit the pipe.
@McMike: Yep. Heart click.
@BadIdea: That's not just a bad hair cut - it's bad hair plugs. Really bad hair plugs. And yes, that guy is fucking annoying and creepy.
The worst, though, is when he declares that "Folks, we're not even close on this one! This stock '77 Mustang is easily worth $400,000!" Whatever. Who the hell is he to state what the car is worth? The crowd (no matter how drunk and tacky it is) decides the value. Isn't that the point of an auction?

Publicity stunt.
So we can pretty much forget about Hydrogen powered cars, right?
#2 is not really an accurate/fair portrayal of the lot under 59. It says that you'll park between two sleeping bums, but you'll find that there are at least nine bums for each car.
@fusspilz: Also, the door latches are the ones used on Vintage Speedster replicas. Very different from the ones Porsche used.
@fusspilz: It's a kit built by Vintage Speedsters, who offers a 1956-version package and a Carrara-style deck lid, which this car has. Tell tale signs: It's a Carrara, but it has body trim, two mirrors and bumpers - a very unlikely combination. The Carrera badges are silver, which Porsche never offered. The windshield wipers are the same ones that Vintage Speedsters uses, but they've been painted silver to look like the originals. Still, they're not the ones that would be correct for this car. The interior would have a hunred dead giveaways, but we can't see it. There is a tiny chance that the car was built by Intermeccanica, but I doubt it - they would have put the correct wipers on.
@Triborough: Yes, it's bad. Considering the first thing I did was look to see if the car was a replica, it's understandable...but bad.
Like Steve McQueen, Elvis is cooler than you.
