The leather seats just age poorly if it’s not garaged and treated properly. Cloth/vinyl is a much better material for these vintage cars to have (look at MB TEX interiors on old Benzes). The nose tells a better story of the car’s condition: great chrome/brightwork and clear, not-cracked parking lenses. I think the mileage is close enough to be legit. You’re thinking of the Mark VII during the late ‘80s…Fox-body chassis and great MPG but even slower than normal.

$3800 with 30min left…let the last-minute BaT crazy bidding begin!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends!

The Mark VI is the first Mark built on the Panther chassis, so it’s smaller and lighter. I haven’t seen them as desirable yet on the used market but it’s a little more reasonable to own and put in a garage. Branded title makes it an over-glorified FBM find, IMO. Still a classic cruiser but I wouldn’t spend more than $5k. Thanks for the heads-up as I’ll see where this goes!

Trump is a piece of shit and shame on anyone who still supports him for 2024. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. <3

Keenum chokes under pressure (pushed out of the pocket) but if the O-line gives him time he connects.

After a lifetime of being told how expensive it is to get stuff - especially people - into space, great to see a creative way to get small objects into low-earth orbit. Some commercial applications and we're adding to space trash, I guess...but cool nonetheless

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, whatever this Rittenhaus thing is.

As I’ve gotten older, my cheap-assedness hasn’t changed… …but I at least need an intact car that runs and drives when I buy it.

It was a great time seeing so many folks. Sad how old we're all getting but really appreciate you guys putting this on the calendar. <3

Ran into some people at cars and coffee, quite a few more people that will be in attendance.

Can't believe the TMZ video I just saw where the C8 still had the engine idling with the front end totally smashed after the crash. I was surprised there wasn't an inertial cut-off switch.

The lot out front was designed for floor-level retail, and the stretch on the north side is actually big enough for a Whole Foods or Kroger. The City folks realize coming out of COVID that it’s going to take years to fill in that space, if any. Apartment dwellers get gated parking garage access in the back…no tenants need to use the front lot. Nice benefit for an apartment! Fortunately for us, there is a bakery w/coffee moving into a 2k sq.ft retail space but even with that confirmed it won’t be opened until mid-2022. Will be nice to have breakfast options on-site again! Haven’t had anything like that since Cup O’ Joe shut down in late 2017.

Will be there. :thumbup:

Good news! We have permission to use the parking lot in front of The City apartments, on the corner of Ackerman and Olentangy River Road. Right behind McDonald’s and Raising Canes. We will still be doing events in 2022 with Byers, Lindsay, and other partners, but it will be great to have an every Saturday homebase we can use again.

I’ve lost track the number of friends, events, fixes, deals I’ve enjoyed in my life because of CR. Facebook has taken the daily traffic but with the number of lurkers I’ve spoken with in recent years at CC&C, CR is still a valuable part of the car community.

From what I saw C8 convertibles going for after owners took delivery…there will definitely be a market to make money on a used C8 Z06 until there’s a few thousand on the streets. Can’t go wrong. Considering the performance you get for $150k, especially with the rare and even more exceedingly expensive competition, I would agree that it’s good money spent to order a C8 Z06. Hold it or flip it, it’s a good buy.

How much does BaT take off the total, or is it a flat-fee?

Wouldn’t buy this truck but love this on the track!

Gib ya 500 for the ‘lanche.

I’ve got a 500e…. .410 home-defense shotgun. I’ve taken it Apart and easy to put it back together again. Great shotguns
