My first car was a 74 super beetle with a stick shift and no clutch petal.

That's the one. It just wouldn't fit into the "count the pedals" criteria for the craigslist fix for sellers not knowing what auto/manual transmissions are.

KakerMix posted:It is impossible to find a not-hosed-with Suzuki Samurai that hasn't been beat to poo poo. I have a feeling if I do find one it's going to be north of 8k considering what a bunch of bozos with their ultra-lifted mudder-tire-equipped diamond-plate-cladded garbage goes for on craigslist. It's so bad that I'm looking to just import a Jimny instead. I put some serious consideration into buying this yesterday. I, too, am on the hunt for a unicorn Samurai.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:WILD WIND Yup! And 841 miles on the clock. I mean, God drat!. I don't have $7 grand sitting in the gently caress around fund at the moment and decided financing what is essentially a cool toy was not a thing to do. And besides, would a bank even entertain the idea of giving a guy thousands of dollars to buy a 26 year old Suzuki?

KakerMix posted:You have unleashed something here friend, the Samurai is for my wife so now she's all about the various Jimnys they have for sale. Sweet! Also, this was posted in the AI Awesome Car stuff thread in past day or two which led me to looking at the Duncan stuff. I'm 100% certain I'm going to buy something from the man in the next year or two, but I'm also 100% certain I'm going to take a look at his private collection assuming he's not inundated by requests and shuts down access. e: Please don't blame me. Blame Rhyno. He posted the link that led me to that Jimmy. He's the guilty party, and who I'm going to blame when I show up explaining to my wife why I bought a Super Boy and a Nissan Pao.

As Nero Danced posted:Wheeler Dealers is such a good show. Granted I generally skip the buying/selling portions to watch Edd rebuild poo poo, but it's refreshing to see a mechanic show that doesn't involve fat bearded guys yelling at each other or "this car could break the shop if we don't get it done in two days." My wife and I discovered the show when we got Playstation vue and got a free trial upgrade to their top teir package a few months ago. Edd is fantastic about explaining poo poo and what does what and how it functions. He was working on a choke on something and my wife asks what a choke does, and before I could answer, Edd explains it. Our free trial ended a week or so back, and now I'm paying functionally $15/month more just for velocity. My wife insisted because she couldn't live without Wheeler Dealers. Great show for two people who love cars but have never done anything more difficult than brakes, fluids, and bolt on poo poo like alternators. Sure makes us want to learn (and wrench) more.

It's mechanically fine as far as I know, but the engine and trans sits aside while the frame sits primered. Maybe something about the interior? It's been years since I've asked him about it. His body work guy is my body work guy and generally works quickly.

Deteriorata posted:Holy poo poo. My first car was a '71 Squareback. Loved that thing. My first car was a 74 Super Beetle. I just bought a beetle project car on craigslist to rebuild with my wife as our first foray into wrenching on stuff in earnest. We also purchased the neighboring property because we don't have a garage in which to work on it and it does. It wasn't done in haste, but people floating "open marriages" might have a better success rate. It will invariably end in divorce or murder. May God have mercy on our souls.

Huh. That's my area code. I'd be inclined to look at it for the sheer novelty, but who knows when I'd have time. Sure dont have the money since I've already got a project car.

I'm no-lie trying to get my wife to take up a travel nurse gig so we can travel and see the country while I work on a graduate degree. I don't know if the Unimog would help or hurt the proposal. I mean, I know I'D be fine calling that home for a while but she's more inclined to just pack up and move back east instead

Our local eccentric millionaire drives nothing but small cars, other than the twice a year he breaks out his first gen turquoise Thunderbird. A couple of years ago he finally got rid of his black Metro 3 door and replaced it with a Smart car. He'd keep a stable of a few of them at a time. His grandson, my friend had a 5 door manual transmission Metro hand-me-down from him as his first car. I loved hooning around in that thing. I have an affinity for small cars myself in so much as my wife hoped I didn't notice a white Geo Storm convertible we saw at the side of the road for sale last weekend. I saw it and as much as I'd like to buy it, the gently caress am I going to do with a Storm convertible when I've got no place to put it? And I can't imagine those rising in price unless we've got another major spike in oil prices. I'm sure there will be some Storms and Metros kicking around for when I've got the space.

IIRC, the X5 and X3 had manual transmission as a no-cost option. The only thing I'd change about the used X3 we picked up recently is adding a manual transmission.

Parkersburg was absolutely flattened by an EF5 tornado in 2008. Given that it has been parked since 1968, I'd market it to the weirdo survival types by including this photo saying:  "It survived this. Any questions  "

KakerMix posted:No, facebook will just deny prices, but won't tell you why or how far beyond whatever limit they have your attempted price is. It will just error out. It's dumb as hell and will attempt to pull information and auto set options depending on what you put down without any input from you. that explains it. i am now my company's social media poster guy, so ive been on Facebook daily for a few months now. i never hosed with marketplace (or fb for that matter) before getting drafted and the fake prices were driving me nuts.

i want to know who kept an element that clean and low milage  but yeah, that's a crazy price. i have a work buddy that traded in his 04 element for a newer fit AND bought a house in the same month, just before both markets went bananas.
