@SinisterSaracen is having a crisis: Now that is a real fembot living in a manbot's manputer's world.
Fixed.

@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: Wouldn't Occam's Razor, the sub-1k price, and the overall beaterishness of this thing suggest that this is just a regular Taurus wagon with s0me SHO appearance bits (poorly) applied?
Seems to me they'd mention something like that in the ad.

Diesel GMT400 Suburban. Room for my family of 5, decent mileage. Damn good looking car too.
I'd upgrade the brakes, install some decent front seats, tint the windows, and make sure a trans cooler is installed.

Dear ASSHATS,

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: He's giving car guys a bad name and confirming HOAs as a necessary evil.
You really wouldn't have a problem owning a home on a street completely lined with POS cars?

I approve of the (rose/) cam swap.
@Jackie: Need love to what?
@superhappyfuntime: It's ostensibly because you can flat tow without leaving the key in the vehicle. Decontenting certainly had something (if not everything) to do with it too.
@LappingLuke: I don't get it either.
Wait - someone actually dislikes the Ferrari 360? I consider it a high point of Ferrari design. If anything, I'd say the 430 pales in comparison.
Easy. Jag XJ-S.
As much as the little lady would love to ride shotgun on a fine upholstered throne such as that one, I've gotta say CP.
And at the risk of becoming the accuracy police, the Chicken Tax had nothing to do with the threat that imported trucks posed to the sales of domestic vehicles. It's also still in effect.

@Muscles Marinara: Agreed. This one's no lightweight.
And one other small thing: the Challenger and Barracuda differ in more than minor trim details. The Challenger was built on a stretched version of the Barracuda's E-body chassis. The Barracuda's wheelbase is 2 inches shorter than the Challenger.
It's a difference that's small enough to make you wonder why they did it, but it's there.
Graverobber, do you just make the stuff up?
CP on this one for sure. It's at about 200% of market I'd guess.

@Carac: Is Carac shorthand for Carmax?
@jon_daniels: The ICE in a car can't come near the operating efficiency of a coal- or gas- fired power plant. Economies of scale.
@OG_: Now I think it was in a C&D top speed shootout in 1987, maybe the issue where C&D coined the term "Yellowbird".
Turns out it was a cover car for R&T in 1988. If you're looking for a copy on eBay, too late. :)

Wow. This is one of my favorite cars ever. It was featured in a Road and Track top speed shootout in 1988 I think.
It ran a 5.0 liter small block from a second generation Can Am car at the time. At 14 years old I was completely stoked at the idea of rebuilding a Ferrari from scratch with an exotic American small block.
It's actually a 308 with OEM GTO body panels. The car has been so modified throughout the years that the distinction is strictly academic.
Thanks for the link!

@SynthOno: I hope you didn't put much into it, because your car is now worth zero dollars.
@X-Zambian: Just because it's an intangible doesn't mean it's not stealing.
You're obtaining something for free that otherwise would cost money. None of the people who worked to create that music are receiving money for their efforts.
How do you expect your favorite artists to continue making music? How are they supposed to eat? Making music is their JOB, and most professional musicians strive to reach even middle class status.
As a Gen Xer, I feel guilty for how we treated our favorite artists in the '90s. There was an expectation that to make money off of your craft was "selling out" and that earning a living was somehow an affront to the broke losers who in just a few years would expect to listen to your music for free. We were entitled pr1cks, and that attitude fed into the dot com-era expectation that if it's on the internet, it should be free.
I saw the Pixies a couple of weeks ago (great show), in a tour that Black Francis has acknowledged was motivated by money. OF COURSE the decision to tour was motivated by money. You've created a crapload of good music throughout the years that's added a great deal of enjoyment to my life. Take my money! I don't expect to benefit from your talent and hard work for free anymore.
Keep on stealing music and nobody will be able to create music. Enjoy writing your own songs to sing to yourself in the car.

It was thoughtful of Mr. Watson to put the truck up on jack stands before he abandoned it.
