You guys know way more about this than I do, but at least it looks cool: ~~ 1991 Ferrari 348TS ~~ Yellow ~~ Full tubi exhaust ~~ - $28900 http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/ctd/2372581430.html  I'm not gonna buy it, but tell me what you know about it anyway. Was '91 an off year for Ferrari?

What do you guys think of this?: 1988 Pontiac Fiera  I edited out all the location details* so one of you snatchmoes doesn't snatch it out from under me. I bet I can get the I4 that's in it running. Also way to go misspelling Fiero (is fiero a real word in a real language?) Also I bet I could talk him down to $500 (USD), which is what I can get from a junk yard for my seized (non-ricer'ed) '94 accord. *edit: Except for the phone number complete with area code, because I am capable of accomplishing one single, simple goddamned task. whose tuggin fucked around with this message at 02:27 on May 16, 2011 |

Faerunner posted:http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Motorcycles/trike.html :???: They sell tons of them, sadly. Well, that's not really what I meant; I make an arbitrary distinction between 3-wheelers and "trikes". A 3-wheeler is an offroad vehicle halfway between a 4-wheeler and a dirtbike; whereas I call a road bike with an extra wheel a "trike". But good point, I guess. They DO sell a hell of a lot of those; I didn't even think about that. But that that craigslist thing has such a narrow wheel base and such a long body, it seems inherently unstable, doesn't it? edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSaIv_5-Mho And that's The Stig; he's more machine than human. whose tuggin fucked around with this message at 18:06 on May 20, 2011 |

Doesn't it destroy you inside? I can go onto craigslist without getting a headache anymore. God help me if I ever clicked "by owner Or dealer", jesus christ. I literally live near where the space shuttle, all of the mercury, gemini, and apollo missions rode an explosion off the loving ground into space yet nobody knows how to use punctuation or the function of the caps-lock button; am I the only one in the god-damned world who has an in-browser spell checker? I mean just look at this: I dare you to scroll to the bottom of this page: http://spacecoast.craigslist.org/cta/ See how many posts you can find without mistakes in the title.

scapulataf posted:Doesn't boring a 350 30 over plus a 400 crank make 383 cubes? Boring it 60 over plus a 400 crank would make that, uhhh more than 383 CID. Unless there is actually a chev 383 and its just a 350 (+ .060) plus the crank from a 383. How did you do the math on this (not being indignant, more curious). Do you have to know the stroke in order to know what to multiply .060" by? And then times 8? And that number divided by 1 inch cubed? Also if he put a 400 crank in it am I supposed to take that to mean a crank from a V8 with 400 in.3, or is 400 just like a model number or something? If there's a new[bigger] crank, wouldn't that mean a bigger stroke?

Is it in fact a good thing that it has original patina? I mean I guess original patina is better than like patina from a different car grafted on to the body. Boy I love how you can tell at circa 1990 computers became powerful enough to render and predict aerodynamic characteristics of curved shapes. Like compare that to a modern Bugatti Veyron or something. The best example in the world of this phenomena is the F-117 Stealth Fighter versus the only-slightly-younger B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

I just got $500 USD for a '94 accord coupe. $550 if I would have delivered it instead of had them tow it. This was from U-Pull-N-Pay. There are a lot of accords still on the road so the parts (in their eyes) are desirable.

Are we talking about beanie babies or cars? gently caress that. For some reason that I can't quite put into words, I'm viscerally opposed to paying extra for anything about a car that doesn't translate into raw, concrete functionality. Could you not upgrade a different class BMW to those specs and even body work and finish for less than $40,000 (USD)? The day I spend extra for nothing more than a brand name or badge is the day the English build a car with a 10 year "boot-to-bonnet" warranty.

I was watching some slightly older Top Gears (season 15 or 16), and wasn't the M3 the one that had a "competition" package? I wonder if its possible to get that matte finish after-market. Although I'm not sure weather it'd be at all desirable. Looks cool, not worth $40,000 USD at any rate.

I will not play "email tag" about this posting. I will return the call as soon as I have a free moment throughout the day. I currently own two of these vehicles (identical) and do not need this one. It was purchased for a different "adventure" and things have changed. I would like someone to be able to enjoy what already have. Thanks for looking.

What would you guys do if you saw an ad on craigslist, called to ask about the car, showed interest, and then a day later the original ad had disappeared but a new one emerged for circa $500 USD more? To be specific, its a '85 MR2 and it was $2200 and is now $2700.

"THE LEFT HUB WITCH I KNOW WERE TO GET IT FOR 45BUCKS" = I am very familiar with "U-Pull-N-Pay" = where the right hub witch probably came from already. And while he's very specific about the condition of the left hub witch, he doesn't specify what model and year it is, nor the mileage. Nor what he expects to be offered for it. How 'bout not waisting are time next time.

If its sat for 8 years, I imagine its like if you took that cop from Terminator 2, and if instead of smart metal he was made out of rust, and he had tried to hide in Sarah Conner's gas tank before she tried to take off on a prolonged chase. "Come buy this car that my granddad died near, touching, inside of, or as a result of for the non-negotiable price of exactly and no less than $1600.000 USD or WE ARE GOING TO SMASH IT INSIDE OF A GIANT MACHINE. Comes with a complete decaying skeleton and 8 years worth of opened social security check envelopes. gently caress you granddad" He asked to have his ashes spread along with those of the charred white-walls that are gonna cost you $1250 just to be able to move it anywhere.

Yeah, I'd drive that thing. But I'm kicking myself now because I just realized that I live in a fantasy world where poo poo has to be typed right. I've had a late night epiphany that I've been spending all my time reading books and the internet, getting accustomed to "understanding" things and constantly checking my browser's built in spell checker, meanwhile I guess a huge portion of the earth's population doesn't give a poo poo, even when it comes to something important like convincing somebody to give them thousands of irl human dollars for a complex series of systems that they strap around their body and expectantly use to propel themselves to high speeds along with a title that is so important it effectively means "I did not steal this poo poo". I'm wondering if that other half doesn't have it better. Or if they keep having these nagging thoughts like "Why isn't anyone responding to my ad for a sweet Javelin with only 360,908K miles on it?", while instantly having a revelation that they is dumb.

With regard to that TDI, is the rust on the visible parts of the body work? 'Cause Rustoleum makes some pretty impressive poo poo that adheres over top of rust as well as old spray paints used to adhere to the 3rd sanded coat of primer. If its like on the undercarriage, paint the whole nethers flat black and enjoy a nice Hitler car. disclaimer: I am the foremost expert in spraying spray paint on poo poo and this is literally all you would need to know in order to do it well.
