Oh man, I'm guessing some wealthy cat got caught up in Miami Vice reruns when ordering this car. For $375K asking price I would have ditched the Pepboys floor mats for the picture.

But man, what an incredibly clean car!

Would be a pretty sweet car if not for the retina-searing interior. Money clearly can't buy taste.

Regardless of the loud colors, what kind of a pissant owner(s) buys a haulass car like that and then just parks it in a garage somewhere to collect dust?!

I think there's a reason its 1 of 1, FUGLY!!! And to pay a premium for that? I don't think so... but I suppose someone with more money than brains will buy it for the 1 of 1 bragging rights.

What, you don't like the built-in Intellivision game console??





Wow, I hadn't recalled that Philip Michael Thomas was so... "shiny"... ;-)

Why price it at 375,000, why not 675,000? These people simply don't think big enough.

The same kind of pissant who will speak to you in glowing terms about the car's wonderful history - you know, the history of sitting covered in a garage its entire existence ...

They have to leave some room for the guy who buys it to think he can make a profit next summer.

I realize the classified rules require you to include the location of the vehicle, but in this case its pretty obvious that the car is from Miami.

That said, the wood grain is what I find most offensive. Red interior is cool...driving that car is probably like sitting inside a vagina.

Given Jake's observation about the interior, "really hard" is an excellent choice of words, Eric!
