A free Skoda - always stinking Edmonton! >:(

My Uncle bought one of those new in 1985... it was a toss up between it & a Hyundai Pony. The Pony would've been the better choice, the Skoda was nothing but problems.

Sweet price, not much detail though! The scoring is apparently common on lower mileage cars that see a lot of stop & go while running hot.

I saw that. Wow. Hope I find a similar loaded buyer who belongs in a straight jacket when I list my Alfa. Just wow.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

Must be someone's high school dream car  :D  Nothing wrong with dropping 50k on it if they have a ton more in the bank. Idle RPMs don't drop tho  :run:

Tom Brady's custom Escalade is for sale for $300,000

Some may think it looks like a hearse, I think it's to die for.

The tires appear to be properly inflated, but maybe the TPMS is disabled?

Brady farted in it!  That's gotta be worth $10k at least.

He claims there’s about $350k worth of work into it.

I’ve seen similarly appointed Sprinters going for $150k though.

Time for an inundation of shi#s and giggles...some cool stuff and some straight up lunatics...I get to decide!

$12,500 for a meticulous 1 owner 2004 Mustang...this might actually fall into the I'd park it in my garage line.  He's spent a lot on it in 16 yrs.
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/regina/12-500-mustang-gt-convertible-one-owner-with-99-201kms-mint/1505574982


But is it worth more than this 2003 at $9800?  I do kinda like the old Saleen body kits on these.  I might look like a midlife crisis getting in and out though... :think:
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/regina/2003-mustang-and-2003-f-250/1504887128


Anyone an old T-Bird fan?  Watch the video...this aint no car you're dropping the top in traffic!!  Holy slowly batman!!!  But...it's kinda cool, no? Are you in at $13,750? 
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/classic-1965-thunderbird-convertible/1505571862


And like all Dodge people...we get to the crazy one.  ;D This one's for Bubba...but it's WAY out of his price point...being $0...just like mine.  But a man can dream, and if I won the lottery...I'd probably buy him something nicer...if I bought him anything at all that is.
And only $23,000...and it was owned by the late great Stan Martel! (Who's dat? I grew up close by, I never heard of him and his meticulous car care)
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1978-dodge-magnum-xe/1505052509


Or for less money you can get a newer one!
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1980-chrysler-cordoba/1505472552


Not very pretty cars...and those 318's had all of 140 hp in '78 and a whopping 120 hp in 1980.  Did these have the Corinthian leather?  This gotta be Corinthian leather, right? Will say the car looks pretty good for a survivor.


Now this guy's more in the right price range and it's a helluvalot faster than those Magnum/Cordoba things.  I'd like it just to not worry about paint and bag the rent out of it.  When these came out they were pretty cool...not sure I'd go there now.  I wouldn't park it in the garage anyway.  It'd be more a, "anyone got 10 acres and a homemade race track?" kinda car.
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1989-ford-thunderbird-sc/1504908244


This is just...I just love these. Not even sure it'd be worth putting in a hot engine.  Just enjoy the drive...an ice cream car. 
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1954-chevrolet-belair/1504804112
1954 Bel Air


Found one for rrocket too!  He's the Supra guy..and this would be a Supra ride...and he's dropped $6,000 from his asking so you know he wants to sell! (or you know he's as nutty as a Magnum owner)
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/portage-la-prairie/toyota-supra-gts/1478577363

That is clean, but I have no idea what something like that is worth.  $5-6g maybe?  But $24??  Well...not to me.

This one's for Firm...he is after all the F body king 'round these parts.  A little insane on the price (27 thousand  :o)...but it's a sweet looking car.  Wasn't he working on one of these? Or was that a newer one?
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1988-camaro-iroc-z-convertible/1504174317

It's so nice it's getting 2 pictures!!

It has over 60 options!  Like WTF could those be?  Carpet? Seats? Does each window and door lock count as a separate option?  I'd bet a new Corolla has fewer "options" yet has more content.

Triple Bob always wanted a pickup truck right?  Well...if he can't drive it, at least he'd have a nice prop for his pics! Wedding parties always want cool old derelicts in their pics, right?
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1962-chevy-pickup-truck/1504263486

Oh and Bob...bring a trailer...you know, really.  This is bring a trailer...not those fancy drivers over on that other website...because this one has no tires...and the front end looks like it's falling apart...so bring a winch too.  Can't wait for the wedding photos!!

Now this guy?  This guy's not insane.  In fact I'd say he's pretty close to almost reasonable.  Or maybe he is more so than I am.  I'd park the Fusion outside for this.

Actually that's it...keep forgetting I need to work in the morning...the commute's a killer though.  30-40 seconds...depends if the dog looks at me with those sad eyes and I have to give him a scritch on the chin.  Probably just fall asleep at my desk...yay working from home!!  ;D

I do like that, say it with me now, Corrrdoooba.  You said it in Ricardo Montalban's voice, didn't you?

I'm almost certain there was a Canada-only 318 4BBL V8 with 195 horsepower available for the Cordoba/Mirada twins for one model year.

Price on that Iroc convert is definitely on the high side, looks like a very nice car though, I do love those third gen convertibles. All of them were actually ASC conversions commissioned by GM; born as T-Top cars and shipped directly to ASC, so production numbers are pretty low. There was a red 92 Trans Am convertible that I had a deal on, bit Random006 was kind enough to check it out in person for me and his photos confirmed that the paint job was really poorly done, so I pulled the plug on it.

Smokey Bird is the winner of the bunch IMO.

I don't care that the '54 Bel-Air is slow.  It's perfect the way it is.  Would be a great car for a sunday drive to Lockport and a stop in at the Half-Moon.

Like the boy's Fiero but in better shape. His would have had the same stripes - a bit much really with the two tone.

2003 BMW 540i Touring M Sport. Super rare car, and it looks to be in great shape, but $27,500 with 220k on it is crackhead pricing. You can get a nice E39 M5 for that much. The owner should just throw it on BaT and sell it to someone in the U.S. to take advantage of the weak dollar.
