There are less than 700 (I think) LT4 Corvettes not painted blue with stripes (Grand Sport) and only 1000 of those. While still not an LT5 (Lotus design hand built by Mercury Marine), the LT4 is legit. One year only, required a 6 speed manual to order the option.
Interesting – wasn't aware I was looking at something special. However, as a non-corvette person... it's all splitting hairs to me!
True. Clint's car is the traditional Torch Red with tan interior. He put chrome Z06 wheels on it and it's really stunning. He drives it maybe once a year to a show or a meet. But it just sits covered in his garage. It's never seen a drop of rain or been driven when wet. It's brand new underneath.Interesting – wasn't aware I was looking at something special.

I tell him they are way funner to drive than to dust. But he's saving it for something.
Whatever money you think you'll gain would be better used as an investment in the smiles you'll have by using it. If it's money you want... put your money it in an investment account and move on, not cars!
But cars are way cooler than Bitcoin. It's the absurd sums of money spent on cars built to be driven that kills me.I don't get the garage queen thing. Saving it for what exactly?
I've always viewed jimmydean as more of the aspirational Joe Dirt type.

no offense to Joe Dirt
Joe had an '05, that car was fun. NA LS6 with a 6 speed, with 4 doors. I also liked the seats better than the Vette.
Funny you say that. Realized I had never been to lamborghini's website. Went there. This was the first tile.
A popular YouTube channel just briefly touched on initial reactions toward this listing being some sort of money-laundering, which got quashed before video-end. Only reason - little far-fetched but bear with me - is somehow this sale entering the radius of Paul Manafort Jr operations in the state. Just across the Southington line in Plainville is what was a former Buick Dealership that is now a motorsport showroom by some extension of Paul Manafort, former New Britain Mayor. And just before the line, what was the 'Blue Parrot' since returning home to CT is 'HOL⅃YWOOD' home for pole-dancing strippers and lap dances. It'd only have validity within oh-so-vital metaverse of Barrel-Shouting Meatball Donald Drumpf. ... is interesting how the talking point/general topic was brought up.If this sells for less than $20k with an Integra Type R going for over $100k, that would be weird. Clint is gonna be pissed because my guess is he paid close to $30k if not more for his with barely a few more miles.

I remember seeing an outback park on a slight dirt mound at some MTB trails, it was fucked, two wheels spinning and no drive.
That doesn't really make sense, since Subaru's system is one that does not send power to the spinning wheels, it turns all the wheels no matter what, especially useful for getting un-stuck. I used it a few times with my WRX like this and remember back when we put a 4 runner in a ditch and got it pulled out by a legacy in the snow. It's not unheard of for an STI to break it's rear drive-shaft and limp home on the front by switching the center diff (STI has this option) to 100% front, but apart from that, it sounds like something was wrong with that outback if it was doing that. Plus, they have decent clearance, compared to any standard height FWD.
Yeah I'm not sure what was going on, I don't know much about them but it looked like it was open diff front and rear. It was a few years ago so it may have been a model that didn't use the ABS sensors to sort spinning wheels out.
Looks like someone took a TVR Sagaris and made it way worse.[sortofwant.gif]

To get my gas cap open, I often have to pull the alternate release inside the trunk and use a plastic tire lever at the same time on the door. That's on the Kia.
