I opened the link before I saw your comment and that was the first thing that came to mind.
But for $750 you can buy a car with transmission problems! Thanks! I'll take five at that price. Maybe with five I can make one a decent car?

This is a cakewalk for the mods. No bickering, no discussion and everybody agrees.

People are being ridiculous, paying ridiculous prices for cars by insisting that they simply must have a new car precisely when car production is at its most disrupted. Whatever happened to driving the old car for longer? Or picking up a beater to drive for a year?

Right, I don't get it either. Do people treat cars the way they treat smart phones? "OMG, there's a new model out, I'd better trade this one that's barely paid down in on the new one!"

I thought it was hilarious piece of automotive satire honestly


Outrageous suggestion: The manual turbo srt version will be relatively desirable in about a decade.
