The terrible part being that it isn't even a numbers matching car going for half the cost of my house. I'll never own a 356 :(

Prettt sure the speedsters were pretty rare, I doubt a regular 356 would go for that much.

The prices are insane though, especially since you can practically buy a shell then source various Beetle parts yourself to rebuild one. I mean really there's like half a dozen people in the world that are going to give a poo poo if all the numbers match and its made to spec.

Ya, my 58 ragtop is as close as I'm going to get. At least it has a giant hole in the roof and will eventually have a giant engine in it. And being a bug, I don't have to feel super bad about doing "things" to it. Although I do have the numbers matching 36hp lawnmower engine it came with. I really need to get off my rear end and get it finished.

We had a first and second gen intrepid. Thought both were pretty cool.

The first-gen LH cars have aged surprisingly well, IMO.

Most of them are crusted to poo poo poverty mobiles but a clean one doesn't look half bad.

Those are actually pretty cool if you're going for the race car look.

I've always loved how raised white letters look, but the tire options with them always sucked unless you need tires for a Jeep.

It wasnt that bad, after you left I got to help put out the fire!

I just put outlined white letter tires on my 97 Ram, looks totally boss. The terrible car stuff is that the place that put them on put the blackwalls out the first time like what the gently caress. The whole reason I got those tires were for the letters, and that they were inexpensively priced.

Oh gently caress off.

If you take your car to a monkey with a hammer and say "here, monkey, hit this with your hammer" and he dents it, you have to accept some responsibility. You don't ask for criminal charges against the monkey.
