I think I have 3.36 but no overdrive. 3k rpm at 70.

An orange Miura is my lottery car, along with an aluminum body Cobra.

The Miura is a car that works in many bright colors. Love it in sky blue.


CaminoRacer

That is very nice too.

I'll take one in every color.

You lose the contrast with the "eye lashes."

The eyelashes are actually my least favorite parts. That ass and hips are what makes it great.

Possibly looking at a 95 red NA this morning. Originally posted on FB market for $4200, he now wants $3700, I set up the meet without checking KBB, which says $3600 tops. I asked a bit ago if he still wants to meet if the highest I'll go is $3500.....   

Wife is ok as a graduation present. IF it's a great car. :rockon:

For niche autos over 20 years old (NAs are already officially "classic" cars and a '95 model specifically is only 2 years shy of officially being able to be registered as a classic car), KBB is meaningless.

He says he just put new rims/tires on, and it has a quick release steering wheel thus the $3700. Still wants me to see it. Wife is firm at $3500. we'll see in a little bit.

I hope you get it Will.

If you do, I'll come up for an autocross this fall, if not that, then at least a drive in some twisties.

Sigh. Guy had something come up, meeting him later this afternoon. I'm usually pretty patient but I'm totally worked up over this.

My dad is looking to get a new (used) truck to replace his Frontier.  Currently he's looking at a 2016 Z71 Silverado with ~20k miles on it, so basically brand new. It's very clean, sharp lookin truck. I think he said they're asking $36k. Holy o' fuck.

You can get a brand new one for that price.  Seriously

Ugh, the Lambo Urus looks SO tacky. The body styling just doesn't work on a car that's not low and lithe. You could call it the next Range Rover Evoque (MSRP $50,000) and I'd believe you. Hell, you could even call it a Kia. :huh:

As a total gym bro douchebag, I could live with one in the sporty fleet :facepalm:

My only real gripe with it.... for $200K, no V10? Audi's V8 sounds like 2 GTIs in heat. Maybe with the SV :lol:

Found a good use for Sentras. Not saying you shouldn't look for something better for this purpose...   :lol:

How reliable are Fieros? LOLOLOL

$2500 with an extra set of wheels and "runs great".  The dashboard looks absolutely primitive though!

$2500 is way too much goddamn money for a Fiero. MAYBE for an '88 GT, but all the other years were partsbin crap.

It's a 1984 and looks in great condition, but I can't imagine the nightmare that car would be.
