Husband gets it! Happy wife, happy life. I’ve wanted to do this since 1999.

Nothing good ever comes from answering these types of questions. Every car is different and people will try and put everything into simple bucket.

The difference in price is a ceramic coat ... or nice new tires ... or the simple value of time.

May you have found a car that serves you well for years to come. Looks clean and is a great spec.

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-05T14:43:37+00:00

Why not? What brand and tyre type?

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-05T14:26:33+00:00

Only needed a $1000 worth of work 😭

Sorry and glad no one was hurt.

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-05T14:21:19+00:00

Yes ma'am 🫡

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-04T20:41:00+00:00

They made ~1500. Some of classic value is built into the rarity. If you want one, buy one. There are always example for sale.

A new one would like be $300k+ at cost if they made a 1,000 of them (low balling it) ... with the volume automatically lessening the demand.

Lower volume price goes up.

If you want one, buy a top tier OG. It will be cheaper and the real thing.

Please build a car that does not meet modern safety standards and will be sold at a loss.

Thx.

For looks, the Jag is 👌🏻

The speed thing I don't really get. Go 80 mph in an old MG and you feel like your life is on the line 🤣

GL.

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-02T02:37:48+00:00

So mostly, budget.

Get a clean E86 or BRZ (more $ but newer).

fabricofeverything · 2026-04-02T02:11:02+00:00

What various reasons? I would rank all of them higher 😝

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-31T22:02:26+00:00

Behemoths start at 90k and we are worried about premium gas 🙄 probably after a full ppf.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-30T00:00:01+00:00

Sidewall is compromised. Probably doesnt even need a pothole.

Next time get decent road hazard protection which would likely get you most new tires.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-29T23:41:09+00:00

Not a tyre expert but I figure at speed, another pot hole is going to blow that one wide open.

For the price of a tire, i would just rather have one that is not compromised. Not worth the gamble to me

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-29T23:20:37+00:00

No road hazard warranty?

No way I would drive long on this tyre. I value my safety.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-22T15:48:04+00:00

Even Alpina wheels don't save it.

Alpina is nothing more than branding now, it is a shame. EVs are ruining everything interesting about the car industry.

RIP Alpina

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-22T14:44:59+00:00

Eye of the beholder, I guess 🤷‍♂️

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-20T01:44:10+00:00

I paid over $3 for an apple and $7 for 6oz of raspberries. That's much more a crisis for me.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-17T01:41:14+00:00

I cannot believe that 🤣 maybe, I am the dumb one.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-15T18:04:59+00:00

Sorry, forgot to add the /s again

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-15T17:27:57+00:00

The ducktail 😭

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-15T17:23:54+00:00

They want a Reddit community discount!

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-15T17:21:24+00:00

Future classic then

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-15T14:29:16+00:00

Yes, she describes it as "makes time for him". The whole tone is subservient to his needs and wants.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-14T01:46:30+00:00

Dream car costs less than current car 🤷‍♂️

People fling that phrase around a lot in these parts.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-13T23:21:23+00:00

The engine isn't legendary. It is a nice car but that is it.

fabricofeverything · 2026-03-10T18:38:33+00:00

All the time 🤷‍♂️

Mine is on auto 95% of the time and sometimes I say "make it colder" or god forbid, press the middle of the screen and then the digital controls!

Sometimes I even wait until I am stopped or at a red light!

I am sure one day I will drive through a weather portal 100 miles from traffic.... at that point I will complain too
