We have a sweet super clean RX-7 equipped with a rare Re-Amemiya body kit freshly painted and awaiting a new home.

After seeing the photos I can totally see why it's rare.

that is being sold by RightDrive, they guys that imported my Alfa. They do have some vehicles that they sit on FOREVER. Such as this. Their selection of cool cars has gone way, way down over the last decade.
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.

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

Fisker sor sale

Surely this is pretty much worthless, do they even make body panels for it any more?
Funny you mention that!

A local body shop had one in the showroom. I asked the owner how it was to drive. He says "I forget. Bought it at auction a couple years ago, then drove it for a week. I then needed a part for it and I haven't been able to drive it since."

Wow! That's kinda awesome....

Turbo monstrosity aside, the rest of the car doesn't look bad for the asking price. If that were local I'd try at $2500, maybe $3000. I have a selection of OE style and Peirce intake manifolds with Strombergs, SUs or Weber down drafts I could toss on there. I even have a clean red hood, though it's a darker shade.

Bubba's like a fly...he needs a picture (of shi#) before he comes a lookin'  ;D


I kid...that's a great looking preserved old...POS.  Right up Bubba's alley.  If only he didn't have that damn Corolla.  Too much money, but I like it, for what it is.

Saw an Urus out in the slush this morning. I just flew by it in my Accent Superleggera.

$100,000+ invested, price reduce to $79,800...on a car that on a good day might be worth one less zero...despite the $100,000+ invested.  What a stupid stupid car to put 100 g into.

Not sure how they got to a 100k. Labour at a high end shop? Looks fine and all. But I would have thought 15k in.

The auction is over on this one, but I've always loved Dodge Magnums, especially the SRT-8 editions.  They look wicked in black.

If you need a 170 mph hauler, this is your vehicle.

Sold for $31k.
