I think Chaos is far too relaxed about life with the Jag.  He needs to buy this to really spice things up!

Nah, honestly I am good. The big black cat is by far the best car I have ever owned. If I get an itch for some excitement over what I already get, I will just mod the Jag a bit to give it 660hp. Should spice things up a bit.
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.

I like it, even the slant six!  Needs more gears in the transmission, though.

The paint looks too dark inside, but should pop in the sun.

I'd remove the hood scoop and change the black wheels.   ;D

Ditto on scoop delete (not TwoScoops delete  ;) ), and swap the wheels for, say, grey Torque Thrusts.

Woha - big ass bumper!

On the Enzo - the years had not softened my opinion of its styling - still ugly.

Unrepaired Dents on left-rear quarter.  One claim for $90 on front end.  Nice to see a manual trans in a mid-size car.

I really didn't like the design when it first came out, but it has grown on me a bit.

So last night I happened to be browsing BaT when I saw that the auction for a 1987 Sterling 825SL was ending. When I got there it was at $7200 and ended up selling for $14,050! Kind of mind blowing. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-sterling-825sl/

Definitely has money. A year ago he paid $54,500 for a 1993 Jaguar XJR-S and in October he paid $75,500 for a 1993 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce with just 370 miles on it.

Thank you!  ;D The front is a fender...the rear is a "quarter" (panel)...FFS...peevish pet.
Same as the rear window is NOT a windshield.  ::) Unless you're driving backwards on the 401 I guess... :P

One for blur.  The Gadabout was one of five first-place prizes offered by Coca-Cola in a 1977 sweepstakes.

Nice motor home.  O0

Found this in the "classic" car section of MB Kijiji... :rofl:
https://www.kijiji.ca/v-classic-cars/winnipeg/2000-cadillac-sls-v8-low-km/1551245066
2000 Cadillac SLS V8 - $8995
Musta picked it up in Chicago... :hurl:


I'm thinking in all seriousness, it's gotta be one of those Price is Right games...drop the 8 or one of the 9's...and THAT is the actual BIN price.  $9g...for a brown fuglyass vinyl roofed Caddy...lmfao  :rofl:

OK, it's clean...but that roof drops the value by a couple g at least.  Half maybe...yuck.  :-X
