I was really ready to jump ship from the Scirocco but poo poo like that is making me reconsider. These cars are so loving easy once you understand K Jetronic and yet kijiji up here is littered with $1000 ready to sell the car off because the shift is sloppy or it won't idle properly so they just give up.

What would you guys offer if everything checks out? Owner claims the new 4AGE has roughly the same mileage as the chassis.

Also BTTF 3 jokes etc.

There's also this one - lower mileage but would take a lot to unfuck aesthetically http://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/5852823300.html

i want to know how he thought an automatic convertible golf is a "fast little foreign car" and how bad you could gently caress up a car changing the plugs and wires without breaking a plug.

Yeah, protege's were famous for the trunk lid dissapearing starting from where they drilled badge holes.

The surprising one is 08-14 GM pickups. they've had 100 fuckin years to figure it out, and in 10 years, there won't be one with a box left on it.

I plan to hide gopros under the hood of the race car once the swap is complete to film people at car shows. Should be extra fun at 'special events' like The Vintage, SIG Fest (E30 M3 only event) and other BMW only meets.

METHAMPHETAMINE

Wasted time at work today by window-shopping. I was wondering why I saw an R32 a couple weeks ago:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5820612348.html



And you folks mentioned Honda Beats before as well:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5848118612.html



What's with all these RHD cars? (Also I'm pretty sure this one isn't legal, unless they convinced the FHTSA that crash tests would be the same as a LHD Civic hatch. That, or this guy literally just created a clone using a US VIN, with RHD and all.)

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5847882060.html



Speaking of Honda hatches:

And here's a car that wants to kill you:

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/5854627014.html



I'll end with a brand-new, 20-year-old roadster:

They are 25 years old and therefore can be imported.

Now legality in California with the smog rules I don't know about, but it is telling that the Beat is in Georgia and not California. You'll be seeing even more Japanese imports as time clicks forward because we are getting into the desirable models that are finally legal for import.

I'm conflicted as to whether this is the worst or best thing I've seen, sort of leaning on worst given the blown shocks are advertised as a feature, but the crown royal shift boot almost elevates it. Bonus lawnmower pic hidden in the rest:
