I can't say I've ever noticed a Zephyr driving around. I'm keen on that grill vs the Fairmont's.

Jesus I'd drive the hell out of that car in the video and it would scare the poo poo out of me every second. Whole front end comes way up every time he floors it and he's got to double hand the steering to keep in line else it takes out a city block.

The cost of all the components on this vehicle is more than 3 times the starting bid, not to mention the cost of welding & machining.


So they spent over 3 grand on it, and the nicest looking parts are all covered up.

Edit:

Although.... wonder why it keeps getting flagged. And whats up with the photoshop?

Not Craigslist, but Facebook. This kid I went to HS with just posted his uncle's 1994 Honda Prelude for sale for $1,500. It's a 5-speed with 150,XXX and has a VTEC. Unfortunately, my knowledge on these cars is limited. Anything to look out for? How much power does the 2.2L VTEC have?

I have a 2006 Cobalt SS. I'm keeping it dead stock though so I want to find a car to tinker with. There's a 1987 S10 with a 350 for sale here but its double what I'm trying to spend right now.

This is AI. Owning 2 cars is a minimum. I mean, I have 2 and I want more punishment.

I own two cars, too, but I don't need either of them for my job. Don't get me started on the $1500 240SX I saw on CL.

Man not according to the EV thread. You should only have one vehicle that does everything you would ever need a car for ever.

Psssh.. The EV thread.. That's like the Pet Island of AI. It's not very AI to own less than 2 vehicles.

edit: vvvvv If I lived in Minneapolis, I'd have to be an owner.

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.

"Cash only"? For a $155,000 car? What do you do, show up with a Zero Halliburton? Surely he'd at least take a cashier's check or something.

It's Houston rap slang. Super pokes are a specific type of rim popular on slabs in Houston.

I wouldn't take a cashier's check for a $1,550 car, never mind $155,000. They have been fraudulent before, and people have been charged back for them after they were supposedly "cleared" by their bank. How that is even possible with modern computerized settlement systems is pretty much beyond my comprehension, yet it happens.

This would most likely end up a cash wire transfer.

Can't you call up the bank that issued the cashier's check and confirm its authenticity before cashing it?
