Good god that XJ220 is awesome, even better in TWR guise. My ultimate Jag, and shared space on my wall with an F40, Diablo, and a Corvette.

Such an amazing dream car.

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

I love these!

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-toyota-corolla-2/

Me too. I wish they still made something like that.

Not a lot of power though with that engine. 102 ponies. Same one I had in my 90 corolla.

Better mileage with that Prius though.  Back in the day I could only manage 5.7 litres per100 with the 5speed manual.

Found a 1991 Suzuki Swift GTI on a Facebook marketplace post today. It had 61,000 km on it, red, no rust anywhere, original owner. They were moving and only wanted $2500 obo. Someone beat me to it, darnit.

I've been after a Sprint/Firefly/Metro/ or Swift for a bit now. A friend has a Subaru 360 van (factory 2 stroke) and I figure a 3cyl from one of these cars would fit and work well in the 360. Like I need a project or something......

Lazy day...decided to do some November shopping...
1967 MGB for $15k right here in MB
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/1967-mgb-convertible/1514809900
That'd be kinda nice...maybe a different colour...some nicer wheels...maybe one of these Hyabusa V8's...


Sticking with the FBC (facking British Chevy??) theme...how about a 1980 TR7 with a 327 Chevy and a 5 spd?
And only $8500!
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/north-bay/tr7-convertible-327/1528898340
Thing should smoke 'em easily enough.


Something about this 1938 Buick caught my eye...4 door and all, don't care, don't matter, I think it'd be a hoot to fart around in...but $20k...
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/100-mile-house/classic-cars/1526390683
...still...sexy old car.

 
A Fiero but it's out of Dent's price range...$10 less the the Buick and a WHOLE Lot faster...
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-voiture-collection/ville-de-montreal/1988-fiero-gt/1535347655

No idea which one it was but either way the slowest was 118 in a 1/4...not bad!


And then I hit a T/A kick...I blame Firm... >:(
Looks pretty nice in the pics. $8g for a 1988
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/muskoka/1988-trans-am-gta-5-7-350-no-trades/1520608657


White's the yin? So that makes this the yang?
1989 also for $8g...needs some love though?  Much more Smokey and the Bandit though...
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/calgary/1989-trans-am-gta/1530403640


I don't know if this one is worth almost double the other 2...but sweet baby jeezus it's pretty...
1989 T/A for $15,000
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/london/1989-trans-am-gta-20-anniversary-low-km/1535782987
Too bad it has camel shi# interior.  :-\


This guy gets his ad shame-posted for the shitty pics...I'm tempted to sign into Kijiji and ask him if I'd be a dick for asking him to post better pictures...I mean c'mon!  ::)
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/victoria-bc/1990-pontiac-trans-am-gta-ultra-rare/1534718040

Hmmm...a '91 Formula...I prefer the more squared off front end of the earlier cars, but this'd be OK.  Looks shiny.
$8500 asking...plus it has T-tops.  Bummer they removed the airbag wheel and is that carb'd?  So much for reliability or easy starts and somewhat OK mileage.
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/yarmouth/1991-firebird-formula-350/1534929744
Still looks cool.


And the last one...probably the fastest one...but it def needs different wheels 'cause these is ugly...($2000 off if I don't take them right? And it does come with the stock wheels - phew!)...
1989 GTA with a ProCharger supercharged 350...yeah,  O0 that's alright.
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/edmonton/pontiac-trans-am-gta/1530537047
Make offer.  Ok, $8500 sounds fair?   ;D
A colour I love, which my wife would hate...she has a serious hate-on for pretty much ANY red car.   :'(


Oh well...good thing this is just a Dream Theater...

The Trans Am you want is the 1989 with the turbo V6 from the Grand National....

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

I did not expect it to finish at such "low" levels  ;)

BTW, look at the bids pulled by the newer Ford GT's  :o

Oh well...good thing this is just a Dream Theater...

I like the white one best, just looks like a nice clean car with only some minor (reversible bolt-on) mods. Rear spoiler looks in good shape, which is hard to find, and the price is reasonable. No T-Tops, which is a plus for some and a negative for others....I think I like having them though I don't use them frequently on mine. Ugly seat covers are the only big negative here.

The bright red one for $15K doesn't look much better than the white car honestly, but the bright red with gold wheels is really eye catching.
