Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

[golftdibrad1]

well Camisa agreed that the fiata is the bette street car but we all know how cammisa is.

No one said he is , just that he is getting money from Tessie.

heh, fair.


Miata front bumper remediation looks decent. Better than before for sure.



Taping the window into the top however did not work


anyway, I also went and sat in an ND softop and RF. I like. I fit better overall, but my head is into the roof a little on the RF; I'd have to get drop brackets for the seat.
I like them tho, so will probably list the mazdaspeed for sale soonish

The RF looks soooo good. But I think I'd have to get the regular, it has just a tad more headroom, less stuff to break.

Pops removed the tape




Keep in mind the rest of the car is filthy, and thats not an accident.... let any overspray stick to the dirt not the car

Camaro is totaled and I negotiated a decent payout.

The hunt is on!

I've decided on a 2022+ CT4 V Blackwing.

Found a few with the options I want:

Do they sell at sticker?

Do they sell at sticker?

No clue, I have yet to contact a single dealer.

I'll most likely buy used, so they should be better on the pricing. Less tricks.

[MrH42]

Get the blue!

[Melon2.0]

Get the blue!

I didn't want to spend that much but, gawd damn it's PERFECT.

The upcharge maybe worth it given its the newest model year ... and no fucked with the clutch.

In a car with factory launch control, line lock and no lift shift?! Lol.

Called the bank and freed up some funds, I'll have the down payment by Friday. I'll email the and see if it's a customer order or available for purchase.

Flight from BTR to MSP is $450 first class.

Drive back would be 18 hours. 1,200 miles.

Here's another one with some savings applied.

Oh nice! I have that one saved in my excel file.
I'm not too keen on the black but, it has the options I want.

I don’t love black vehicles. I wish it made sense financially to paint or wrap the Mini. Would love to get it done in British Racing Green with white for the roof and mirrors.

Man lightly used Blackwings can be had for sub $60k? Lotta car for that

The red looks quite good as well. Is it more of a true red or more AARPurple? Don’t think I’ve seen it in person but I love it in pics.

Same. It better be a hellva deal for me to get another black car.

In Louisiana it's ridiculous.

BRG + White would be dope!
