Probably because you normally look for LeBarons??  ;D 

Nice truck, would be fun to fart around in.

Hey now....nothing wrong with Lebarons!  ;)

Who wants a 2002 Renault Avantime, 78K kms, seats looks comfy and it even comes with a stick! I didn't know such thing exist :D

That thing is really unique! You'd have the only one in town that's for sure.

Neat but very far from $25K neat.

Does installing a twin-turbo 570 hp LS3 make a better Grand National?  Yeah, I think so.  Peak torque of about 680 lb ft helps, too.  The six-speed Tremec is the cherry on top.

Oh hell yes, it makes it better in every way imaginable.  I'd take it, damn straight.

Jalopnik came up did a review of this unit I believe, if you want a 'recent' driver's insights:

 Looks like this 2017 Ridgeline was driven quite a bit.  300,000 km's already. ;D

I thought I read something about Mercedes getting rid of all their V8's and going 4 cylinder for all their cars, including the AMG.  Then I see this article and I'm like, WTH?

https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a37444912/the-mercedes-amg-gt-63-s-e-performance-is-amgs-hybrid-future/

Obviously not a 4 cylinder, but does get the hybrid tech people were expecting.  Could we continue to see V8's, and 6 cylinder engines in AMG's for a few more years?

Pontiac's SOHC straight-six has always called my underdog-centric preferences, and so far I had only seen it in Firebirds, until this listing came up:

Interesting engine.  Too bad it didn't stick around.

Nice car! That would probably sell here quick as a bunny. 

Local dealer has this...seems a little rich for a 2009 don't it? 
2009 Shelby GT500


They've also got a 2012 Raptor for holyshit $40g's!!


Buy both get a matching set, I guess.

More my budget...  ;D  I could be like Firm.  Too bad it's got the ugly nose.
1991 T/A only $5g!
