    Do you reckon that's a frame off restoration?

    Didn't really think about it, but now I notice there are no pictures of the underside or even the engine bay, much less any "in progress" shots taking during the alleged restoration.

    Interesting website. Looks like they'll try to sell anything, including an obscure electric sedan...

    2018 Karma Revero Base - $49,977



    ...and this Jeep straight outta Grand Theft Auto, including miniguns on the rear fenders!

    1957 WILLYS - $21,977



    I could use something like this to break up the all-too-common three-lane rolling suburban roadblocks where I live. People like to get three abreast and drive about 36 mph in 45 mph zones.

    I thumbed downshift and lanesplit through two of those muthafuckas yesterday, coming home from rugby practise. Sat behind one of them, they didn't speed up. Moved lanes to the other one. They didn't speed up. Downshift, and split.

    I detest people who drive ambivalently of the traffic around them.

    Do motorcycles have thumb-shifters now? I haven't owned or ridden one since the 1990s.

    I gotta say I am really pissed off about how smart-phones and dashboard screens have changed how people drive. I think drivers these days get close to someone else, match their speed, keep them in their peripheral vision, and then consider that a license to start browsing the internet or texting or whatever else they do on their smart-phones. I am so tired of remoras who cruise along with me inches away from my rear bumper, yet in another lane, whenever I turn my head and torso to see who's behind me before I change lanes. And they'll sit there until I hit the Wyoming state line if I don't change my speed and/or lane.

    Every day, I look around and check my mirrors at red lights and all I ever see are people's eyelids. They're all looking down at their smart-phones! Nobody is waiting for the light to turn green so we can all get out of this Big Brotheresque hell in which they keep installing more and more red lights at intersections that never had them and still don't need them.

    And, the powers that be keep replacing regular green lights at left turns with green arrows for protected turns, so that we can then sit there for fucking ever with nobody coming the other way until we can finally turn ten minutes later. The ignorant bastards who program the traffic lights around here are obviously dedicated to slowing down and stopping drivers at every opportunity, rather than letting them get where they're going.

    I'll dig up some fun old cars on craigslist again soon to clear the air from this rant, but I just spent an hour commuting to my office in downtown Denver from the suburbs and am ready to plotz!

    A remora reference in a car forum. What a savant.

    I've got all the dashboard screens and such in our Volvo and I absolutely am not a remora. That phenomenon comes from the fact that we have never taken driver education seriously and we basically hand out licenses like they come at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box.

    I would be shocked if that Camaro isn't scooped up and turned into an SS clone. Just adding a V8, some wheels and a console would probably add 20k.

    1975 Jaguar XJ12C coupe - $20,000

    Vanishing Point vibes. You have a squint a little bit. Trust me.





    1979 Ford F150 2wd truck - $3,500



    1982 corvette - $14,500

    I wouldn't buy it, but as this was very cool when I getting to be around driving age, I can't help but admire this one from a careful distance.



    1993 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78 - $37,750

    These seem to be flooding the market, relatively speaking, lately. If they came in left-hand drive and didn't cost as much as a new car, I might be interested. But maybe it's just the steelies and little chrome hubcaps that turn me on.



    1977 Ford F250 Highboy - $25,000



    1973 Ford Bronco - $32,500



    69 VW bug - $2,000

    "Owned since 1974"



    1997 Mercedes-Benz Unimog 1300L - $59,000



    Eight-speed manual.



    Ferrari 512TR - $320,000



    1984 Merdeces 300td 5-speed turbo - $7,500

    neanderthal needs a new car, right?



    1992 Honda Civic DX Manual Hatchback - $5,500



    1962 Volkswagen Single cab - $35,000 (Albuquerque)

    Beware of the chupacabra.



    Jack, Robert, or Ted?



    1961 Chevrolet Bel Air - $6,895



    1971 Chevy Blazer K-5 - $17,000



    This will buff right out.



    1986 F250 XLT Lariat Supercab - $8,500

    This guy's boat is bigger than yours.



    1951 Jaguar XK120 FHC - $30,500
