Speaking of Bad Chad (nice guy, but his cars suck balls)...

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/city-of-toronto/bad-chad-hotrod-from-heaven-1938-ford/1535810250

Well, now that the Rockabilly Weekend episode has aired in Canada and USA this bad unit can been made public! Custom built by Bad Chad and his team at Hiltz Auto Co a 1938 Ford “Hotrod from Heaven”. This was the giveaway car at the 10th annual Rockabilly weekend car show and fortunately for you fine folks we have made the decision to put it FOR SALE!!!

Only good thing about Bad Chad is he seems like a really good guy, and his GF Jolene's a cutey.

He is more of an  artist, then a car builder. Most of his builds come from scrap he has lying around including the engines. He makes something from nothing.

$18,875

That's pretty... but seriously overpriced. That said, I maintain that an LS is the only "old" flagship I'd trust to own and operate daily. And I've owned an XJR, an S-Class, and two LS'. I didn't trust my better half's Audi as far as I could throw it, and we all know what typical out-of-warranty FGCs are like...

Also, while I maintain that my black on black LS 430 Ultra on the 18-inch Sport wheels is still the "best" colour combination, hot take; have you guys seen Briarwood Pearl?

That thing looks pretty sharp...or clean...but is it Price is Right rules?  Do you take off the 1 at the beginning or the 0 at the end?  You win! It's your for only $1498!!


Me? I want to shop in tooscoops store...this is almost affordable...question is....should someone dodge it or because the platform is so old by now, is it a solid buy? (FCA roots be damned - it's an old Merc!! Dammit!)

And is it too bad it's "only" the 5.7?


I wish my wife liked purple...and I wish this one was "affordable".  Maybe in 3 more years?

Just look at that a$s...


Looks sweet from any angle.




They've even got a Hellcat - for less than that one.  Thing is though...other than bragging rights, where could you ever use that much power?  The Scat Pack is probably plenty...maybe even the reg 5.7 is.  I drive a Sonic...and that "other" car.  I'd be easily corrupted with the blue one.

Yeah looks great in purple, especially since it wont be confused for a cop car (except at night)
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.

Montreal Bat'ster extraordinaire Alex Bert is listing his Fiat in the classifieds - turned down by BaT for this one:

Is this not the front wheel drive one??

Yes it is, but it drives great. See the Top Gear Middle East Special where Hammond drove one and everyone praised it.

I have driven one, it feels just like the Italian Miata that it is.

FWD or not, it is a great little roadster.
