Replying to: gsemike (Jul 01, 2009 6:42 am) Saw one in the showroom at the dealership last week... Up close, you don't really notice how severely it slopes..   Plus, the one I saw was an M-model... Twin turbo V-8.. $81K

....I saw one, I just thought it was mammoth and awkward; if you want a utility vehicle, just get one, I don't get the crossover thing, at least not at this price point. I can think of many cars (or maybe two or three cars that cost a total of) I'd rather have for $81k. Eeek. Replies to this message: gsemike (Jul 02, 2009 5:06 am)
#16650 of 16657 I Just Saw a British "Sterling" (Honda Accord) by martian Jul 01, 2009 (11:02 pm)
Wow, how did the Brits botch this one up? I mean, it was basically a Honda-with all of the bugs worked out. The Brits just had to add leather seats and some nicer "English" touches-so how did this marque go so horribly bad? The one I saw was a sad little rat- dented and making blue smoke. Are they worth anything? Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 8:39 am)

Replying to: martian (Jul 01, 2009 11:02 pm) I think those cars ended up with the worst of Japanese and British traits.

I saw this thing on a highway in podunk yesterday:     Looked pristine and restored, early model, and it wasn't on fire or wobbling or anything like that. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jul 03, 2009 12:54 pm) fintail (Jul 03, 2009 4:46 pm)

Replying to: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 8:39 am) Wow, a Series I XJ6 is a very rare animal. Pretty good snapshot, is that from a cellphone? Replies to this message: fintail (Jul 03, 2009 4:46 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 24, 2009 8:16 am) That Volvo may be a good C4C candidate...maybe, possibly, assuming..., but from your description of the driver, he probably wouldn't qualify for a loan. Ya never know, though. He could be a rich eccentric masquerading as a, well, poor eccentric.

Replying to: andys120 (Jul 03, 2009 12:54 pm) I wish I knew how determine the exact year...it was tough to get a good pic. Normal (digital) camera, I usually keep it in the door when I go on a long drive.

Spotted at a used car lot in podunk, this gargantuan 62 Olds:         (cellphone pics)   I didn't post the drivers side pic because there's a big dent in the front fender that makes the car look pretty horrible . The paint is old and faded unevenly - original perhaps, and metallics never age well if not maintained. Light surface rust on the chrome that could easily be cleaned, but not much rust on the body. Rotten old tires, who knows what it is like under the hood. Interior was pretty decent though, and I noticed it had a Wonderbar radio. It's not as nice as it looks in the pics, but it's not horrible and shouldn't totally be a lost cause if one can do work by themselves. They want $2500 for it, but I am sure it could be had for 2 grand or less.
