>>27940344>perhaps boomers are just insaneIt's this.Neighbor has a hard-on for "having a Jeep". I warn him, have it looked at before you buy a used one, as they like to rust, and they are usually abused. He knows I used to run a shop that specialized in old Jeeps and military vehicles.A few weeks later he wants me to "look at the Jeep he bought". It's a YJ, not horrible looking at first glance. I get under the thing, and sure enough, the rear frame where the leaf springs are attached is all but gone, eaten up by rust. The guy has had the thing maybe 24 hours, paid cash for it and has already ordered bullshit like a winch, bigger wheels and tires, and a couple of styles of soft top.He's dumped maybe $10,000 in this hunk of shit, all because he HAD to have it NOW.Seen the same behavior more than once, and it's always some retired or semi retired boomer, who wants his toy, and wants it now.

>>27940344No they're desperate because they are overleveraged, have no retirement account, and refinanced their house, with no retirement savings.All my older relatives have put their homes on reverse mortgages because they have nothing left in their name and are leaving my cousins with nothing except liabilities. My mother only left a house with back taxes and mortgage payments that were behind. I had to cover my mom's payments before she died because even before she got sick she was like "they cant take my house from me"Boomers literally gave up because they were the first generation that had the american dream taken from them and lost the ability to retire (they do not want to keep working, they have to..) Their kids got fucked and were told to blame their parents for their predicament. Same with gen z.Not the banks or the rich who are sucking up all the money. Now they get the houses for free too.
>>27940344>this thread was funny, boomers complement seller on lack of a radio, see that radio just takes away from you driving enjoymentIt does.First off you have to realize that car audio prior to the 90's SUCKED. Then, a convertible at the best of times is a shitty acoustic environment, so even if you were in a boat it's probably better to listen to the car than crank the radio so loud it drowns out the wind noise.Then, there's the fact that this isn't a cruiser but a sports car. Sports cars are normally a bit louder/more raw which makes them an even worse acoustic environment, and they're meant for driving engagement which means listening to the the tires for traction and the wind for speed and the engine for shifting and to tell you how much power you have under the go pedal right now. (mashing the pedal at 1500RPM is not the same as 4000RPM.)The radio in my Z3 coupe doesn't work and I don't plan on fixing it. The one in my roadster works but I'm never going to use it.If I want to listen to music, that's what the 9 speaker Monsoon + 400W 12" in the Grand Prix is for. But that still gets turned off when I'm throwing the car around.
>>27946281Can't argue. Those are a gooood looking car for the price.
>>27946307>we boomers are the REAL victims here!Lol no. They didn't have the dream "taken from them" they squandered it because they grew up during the time when no high school diploma needed construction jobs were plentiful and paying the inflation and cost of living equivalent of $75/hr. So they carried that mindset through with them their entire lives and now it doesn't work anymore.

They have listed a fair number of vehicles with us, and we wanted to ensure we had all the information available to us.As the seller alluded to earlier, they have a separate account which has been used, errantly or not, to bid on this and one other auction. This bidding practice is prohibited here at Bring a Trailer, and the integrity of our marketplace is more important than allowing this auction to close. One of our top priorities is to ensure a fair and transparent auction process, and we will continue this conversation with the seller before we continue any further.We apologize for the oversight in not finding the link between the two accounts earlier and appreciate the community’s understanding as we continue to attempt to do our best in these regards. We also appreciate the users that reached out with important information that helped us establish the link.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2007-mercedes-benz-slk55-amg-13/Itt boomers are seething because a 355 horsepower bins only gathered 16,000 in bidsMost of the commenters on the auction threads ownthe same car and are just cheerleading up the price because they they own the same car
What happens when these shitboxes simply don't sell? No, dave, your 2002 corvette they only made 37 of in that autistic color combination and dealer option sold by a guy named Tim isn't worth $30,000. Do these cars simply sit in the garages until death, then the adult children either try to hawk the wares for way too much money before selling it to a dealer for below market value?
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-chevrolet-corvette-coupe-27/scroll down to the fucking comments of: Fleche_dOr. This ass writes a wall of text to try to prove his knowledge on CorVeeVee prices. basically simps for the owner for BATtit gold.BAT is a Boomer Circle jerk.Day of the Pillow.
>>27940344I paid £2000 (~$2800) for an MG B earlier this year and it's in rough shape body wise but better mechanical condition than that oneEven here in Blighty you rarely see non-V8s go above about 5 grand
>>27959596>BAT is a Boomer Circle jerk.In their defense, its basically an old forum message board to discuss cars, particularly good or rare examples or coveted cars of yesteryear. Where else are you going to go to look at perfect examples of cars you yearned for decades ago, and they're still in (sometimes) perfect condition? A random ass car forum? 4chan? The fuckin VFW halls?
>>27959562More or less, a old boy freind of mine died recently (relatively young at 68)He had THREE E Type Jaguars in various states of repair. One quite nice one, one that ran and drove but needed a bit of work and one that was a shell but he had enough spares to build 2 more cars. Also a full workshop with all the pipe benders and tig welders to make all the stainless exhausts you could ever wantHis widow sold all 3 E Types for £30k. The good one alone was probably worth £45k. A buddy of mine bought all the pipe benders and welders for under a grand. I've got 2 of his land rovers lying up a side street as they both need work but I paid £200 each for them.The ulitmate fate of "I NO WOT IT S WURTH" is your widow/kids getting rid of all your shit on the cheap to clear the space
>>27959622Yeah, I get it once you inherit your parent's shit, sometimes you just want any amount for it knowing your parents spent way too much on it and you have no interest. Land, houses, cars, china plates, collectible items, anything. I talked to one dude that for some reason still lived with his 80 year old mother, admitted he doesn't give a shit about any of her jewelry, any bit of the house, and he already planned on selling all of it for 50% of its value just to get the cash because he refused to spend the rest of his life selling his mothers antiques. He admitted he took boxes upon boxes of antique tools to a dealer and eventually lathes and other machinery in the barn to an enthusiast that enjoyed old machinery and took the first offer. Shit like $1000 for a massive lathe that is still worth $20k today because nobody had any interest and how the fuck long are you gonna spend selling a $20k lathe that needs a crane to move?Its shockingly odd how some of these high end cars get sold for 10% of their reasonable market value, but also I get it. If you have zero interest in your parents hobby because they spent more time on it than they spent raising you, who gives a shit about researching it to get a good sale? I'm still confused how some people always seem to find those deals as a buyer.
>>27956006Yes, believe the official numbers goy, its really not that bad
>>27959614Found the BoomBoom.Bait...bait never changes.
>>27959647>I'm still confused how some people always seem to find those deals as a buyer.In Britain at least it seems to be pikeys that spend every waking moment aggressively refreshing FBM so they can be first on site to slap down cash and have the car gone the same day
>>27956006Food prices alone have gone up 50-150% in the least 4 years
>>27946277That's just how auctions are. It's entirely dependent on who sees it and decides to bid on it.
>>27940329hmm, you may not know much.
>Go to results>Sort by BaT AlumniMost of these auctions are losing money except for old Porsches, early 2000s BMW M cars, and some Japanese sports cars. In spite of this, there are exactly zero (0) auctions that have finished that were truly a "deal" like how BaT was 8 years ago.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/bmw-r100-4/This dirt bag seller reniggered on a sale.
>>27946277Auctions don't always sell things at market/book value anonThat's why auctions are based. If you want to actually flip cars anymore for a living you have to be a fb marketplace Mexican scam artist or have a dealers licence.
>>27961120>Submit reserve to BaT>"Nah we swear bro it'll do better with no reserve bro"Both the seller and BaT are retarded. I'm 90% sure that you can't set a reserve anyways if the expected value is under 20k.
>>27961268>https://bringatrailer.com/listing/bmw-r100-4/Has BaT become known for comically high prices and a bit of an amusement site and no longer a good site to sell your actually rare and desirable vehicles?I'm somewhat into motorcycles but for an ancient BMW motorcycle, they're simply a pain in the ass to own. Parts are painfully expensive if any of them break or simply need to be replaced, they're temperamental, and you'd never take them on a 200 mile pleasure cruise around the countryside in fear of the stupid thing breaking down costing you $1000 to tow it back. The no reserve price too low reneging is consistent; some boomers only list their shit thinking it'll sell for $100k more than they paid for it, but lose their fuckin mind when it sells for $2500 total, and BaT takes $1000 of that for fees. You'd be better off listing it for $1500 on craigslist. Then again, boomers would rather crush a classic car or set a motorcycle on fire than sell it at a loss even if they have terminal cancer.

Going on arguably one of the biggest collector car auction sites and it doesn't meet a reserve is pretty tellling. Either his reserve is way too fuckin high, or he overpaid when he bought it. Maybe some of these covid buyers are taking haircuts trying to get rid of their "0%" loans on these toys now that times are lookin tighter soon. Either way, fuck em. Stop trying to profit tens of thousands on these toys when they'll sit in your garage for years on end while you wait for the profits to come. Use them as cars, not investment 'vehicles'.

>>27967103>Buyers are the ones paying the feesAre the fees some percentage of the total completed auction? If so, thats also stopping sellers. Even if its a flat fee, if its more than a couple hundred bucks fuck that I'll just find another car locally and buy that for the same price as the winning bid.
>>27968840buyer pays 5% of of the auction with a $5k max (i think). BaT charges your card on file immediately if you are the auction winner. It's truly a (((quality))) business model for a glorified shitty middleman.
>>27968907>5% tip as the buyerIt makes no fucking sense people paying $100k for a low mileage MR2 or whatever the fuck these retards are buying. But I guess a 5% tip to the website is trivial if you're seriously paying insane money for used cars. Even the gems that were icons for their time are cool, but supercar prices for 90s shitboxes makes less sense than buyer paying auction fees.
The 130-Mile S2000CR is coming to a close and it's only bid up to about half of what it sold for on BaT just over 2 years ago.Of course, most of the bidding actually happens about an hour away from the actual end date, I wonder if it'll reach the same price as before though.

>>27947208The comments are going way too easy on the piece of shit seller. Assholes like him are part of the reason why the used car market is retarded now.
>>27970464True. Someone posted that they think that the reason car prices are so high is that the people who can't buy a house right now are spending that money instead on cars. It seems like a good observation. You're definitely a lot of money going towards cars right now.
>>27969142imagine buying it for $200k, putting 7 miles on it in 2 years then selling it for $170k lmao

>>27946394Anon, I get what you're saying, but I believe it's always nice to have the option. It doesn't take away from the car at all because you can just turn it off. Granted, in the MG's case, you'd probably need to upgrade the alternator.It's a visceral feeling to hear the engine roar as you reach that redline, but it's not always as entrancing, especially when you have company. Sometimes I just want to drive down PCH, with the top down listening to some steely Dan. Is that so bad?
>>27972971I originally wanted a Miata, but I've given up on owning one in this lifetime.Scrolling through FBM one day though, I saw a cool, red MGB and shot the guy a low-ball (he originally wanted 1,100$).He said yes and I just went for it.Mind you, I'd never seen one before this so I was really jumping in blind. I don't regret anything though, I still think it's a really cool car and I can't wait to get it roadworthy.Minicoops are cool too, but I really just wanted a convertible roadster.
>>27946307a lot boomers are the most short-sighted, reckless, delusional people out there. i think some of it stems from not having a computer in your pocket 24/7 but some of them are just aggressively ignorant.i've noticed at least with my stepdad, some are in an infinite feedback loop of trying to "get ahead" so they hire their friends for stuff who in turn rip them off, or do shit for cheap and wonder why they're having issues. my stepdad has a diesel 4-door bmw who he kept taking to a cheap ass place for alignments and wheels, instead of taking it to a euro mechanic up the streeti had to hear him bitching about the bmw for months, and he finally takes it to the euro guys and they pretty much said "whoever has been working on your car has no idea what the fuck they're doing". i guess what i'm trying to say is, boomers feel entitled to premium service and prestige, all the while being cheap fucks who don't want to spend the money required for said premium a lot of them were on the verge of "making it" back in the day and becoming new money. instead a lot of them squandered it. most of them can fuck right off

I've been trawling craigslist for years now. Its remarkable seeing the same vehicles listed for months or years at a time with zero price changes, unwilling to negotiate, and refusing to take decent photos sometimes. Either a LOT of people are taking haircuts or they'll simply wait a few years as interest rates drop and inflation continues hoping to get that exact price "soon". Fuck people flipping stuff solely for profit. And those who are selling because they need money, fuck you for refusing to budge on price at all. That old ford you've had rotting in the field isn't worth $8500, you're late on bills sell it for whatever you fuckin can.
The world's always been full of people trying to get that one sucker for +50% and the people dumb enough to do so.Neighbor kid I lived next to a long time ago, made enough money to buy a 2011 mustang GT straight cash by the time he was 17, from reselling crates of literally anything he could get his hands on. Free from craigslist, old washer/dryer/ACs, Etc.There's always an idiot to fulfill someone's greed.It's as old as humans.

>>27983589Just interest payments and shit. I looked at a 70's dodge truck, told him I wanted to pay $9000. He wouldn't accept anything lower than $14k. I walked. He called me a week later offering a $9k payment, plus $4k paid over an additional 4 months. I told him hard pass on that shit, it wasn't a matter of paying or affording it but rather a reasonable price for your bastardized ancient truck. He ended up selling it online like 3 months later to someone who sent a car transport for $10k, and the buyer paid $2k to ship it. Blows my fucking mind they'll hold out for 10% more than a reasonable offer.

If I were not camping and riding this Holliday weekend I would have been able to dispel the guy trying to say that hot rods will be banned. No one will ever ban these cars, they will just price gas so high that junk cars that people drive lots of miles will go away. The way they will reduce ICE cars will be through super high gas prices. Hot rods and classic car owners don’t drive their cars more that a few hundred miles a year so the high fuel prices will not affect them at all.He didn't seem to care for that EPA comment. I don't think the government will discourage driving by the manipulation of fuel prices.It's more likely they'll charge a tax based on engine displacement, or implement strict emissions laws like in California.>Hot rods and classic car owners don’t drive their cars more that a few hundred miles a yearHe's basically saying boomers are only interested in driveway ornaments that aren't meant to be used.>"Ferris, he never drives it!

Of course notice Europeans have not stopped driving cars even with this onerous tax burden, but the plan has always been to ramp up environmental taxation but only so high as governments and corpos can profit from cap and trade rather than something that would actually really modify behaviour of anyone but broke serfs.

Honestly, this car is in mint condition and has always been garage kept. I bought the car from a Broker in Nashville at an estate auction. The original owner passed from Covid and this was one of 4 cars he had in his collection. I have replaced all the tires on the car with Continental Extremes and I replaced the Soft Top in 2021 with a Genuine GM Replacement. The windows have all been re-tinted to match. The hard top was sealed in plastic and packed in my garage since I brought the car home in 2021. I actually am heartbroken to get rid of this car. It took me 2 years to find it.

>>27946307>Boomers literally gave up because they were the first generation that had the american dream taken from them and lost the ability to retire (they do not want to keep working, they have to..)no, Boomers were born into an absolute economic miracle that their parents had built for them out of the Great Depression, and then wouldn't listen to their parents who'd been through the Depression telling them that they were experiencing something unusual and to save. They got an equivalent $19/hour first job as unskilled teenagers and just got richer and richer and richer through the 80s and 90s until it was time to retire just as the whole house of cards imploded in 2008. Then they voted to loot the country through money printing to boost their home values and stock portfolios so they could borrow against that to keep living like they did in the 80s and 90s without a commeasurate income to support it, because the most affluent generation in the world literally can't conceive of living any differently or, god forbid, that their old unhip parents were right.Now we get another Depression.

>>28012124>You are the reason that what's about to happen is about to happenBecause boomers simultaneously own everything, have all the money, and are insanely leveraged up to their eyes? Sorry for whatever it is I did, I guess.
>>28012147>Because boomers simultaneously own everything, have all the money, and are insanely leveraged up to their eyes?The fact that you don't know the difference between wealth and money means you, in fact, are partially responsible for what's about to happen, yes. Grandma Boomer sitting in her empty 4-bedroom with a huge reverse mortgage in fact drives up the costs of housing, by keeping that house off the market, constricting the supply of family housing. Her reverse mortgage means she's leveraged up to her eyes. One of the primary reasons we've had generationally high inflation this year is from the massive spending and immigration that she votes for, lots more money and people chasing the same amount of stuff = prices up, because "price" is just an expression of how much money is chasing a particular thing. Lots of that money has found its way into housing and stocks, meaning the last 3 years have been in effect a massive transfer of wealth from people who spend most of their money on necessities to people who own assets.Now, everyone from that first group is broke, and we're beginning to see the effects in cars - overleveraged, paper-rich boomers are trying to sell their "investment" (actually speculative) "asset" (actually liability) cars and being surprised to discover that there are no buyers. This will proceed down the risk slope to stocks and eventually housing. Normally this is when boomers demand a big bailout, as they did in 1986, 1989, 2008, and 2020. The problem is at current debt-to-GDP and the situation with the dollar as reserve currency, the ability of the feds to print money without just causing inflation seems to be gone.

>>28012198Thats a lot of words. Too bad I'm not gonna read any of them.
>>28012198That's actually smarter boomers to put their money into assets like cars and houses because those things are immune to inflation. And the reason this thread exists is because all the money seeking shelter from inflation and pushes the car prices up and here we're seeing the results. Cars are an interesting study economically because they unlike other collectibles are harder to hoard. I have to wonder if there are like warehouses filled with vehicles and they investors are just about to just flood them into the market because they realize that the bubble is about to pop. We shall see.
>>28012265And that's why we're in the situation we're in>>28012534>That's actually smarter boomers to put their money into assets like cars and houses because those things are immune to inflation.They are not, absent relentless effort and expense to distort the market for them. Cars and houses are liabilities unless you suck money out from the productive parts of the economy to bubble up their value. Houses at least have built in organic demand as long as people want to not live in a cardboard box, but it's hard to think of a more risky speculative asset than a classic car. For that market to even exist you need other people with so much free money after expenses and savings that they can afford to buy a pure luxury item like that, and unlike basically any other luxury collectible a car also requires a steady investment of maintenance money to keep its condition. > I have to wonder if there are like warehouses filled with vehicles and they investors are just about to just flood them into the market because they realize that the bubble is about to pop.I suspect it already has. Some of these listings ITT look a lot like Joe Boomer trying to get back his money he thought he safely invested (in a fucking MG), and finding out that there are no buyers.

They really saw that Mark coming apparently when he picked up the car the door didn't even open it leaks water the soft top roof doesn't hold out rain $100,000 and it doesn't hold out the rain oh and by the way it doesn't have any windshield wipers that's another hundred thousand for the wipersAt least all the silent generation had to worry about was the Franklin mint and their civil war chess set
>>28016397What the fuck did you just type?
>>27940360Why do boomers love single moms so much? Is it because all their emotionally neglected daughters ended up single with a mixed race son or two? They worship single moms almost as much as they worship the troops
>>28016414They'll give their money to anyone but their own kids.
>>27946417boomers understand inflation challenge (impossible)Never forget they sold out the country to immigrants and are responsible for the death of domestic manufacturing because they wanted cheap plastic crap from China. No generation in history can compare to the damage boomers did to this country. I hate them all, every last one.
>>27946307>lost the ability to retireThey’re blowing their retirement on cruises and classic cars. They had decades of prosperity, literally the peak of the American economy, to get their money up and were too shortsighted to plan ahead. Fuck em. Day of the Pillow soon.
>>27963220Zoomers are by far the hottest generation in a while. Zoomer chicks BTFO even the hottest millennials.
>>27983447>flipping stuff for profityou should check out FBM, if you hang out there enough you’ll notice cars being flipped by Mexicans. It’s a plague and it’s fucking up the used truck market specifically. They live on there and immediately snap up any trucks that are reasonably priced, then they jack up the price and post it the next day.
>>27985633>>27984593Based. My dad was the first person in his family to except generational poverty and become a homeowner, and I was able to go to college because of him, I’m hoping to lift up the next generation in my family and set them up for even greater success.
>>28016444>you should check out FBMNo thanks, I went there for a few months looking for a cool car, re-activated my account several times trying to ask them about the vehicle, throw offers, ask to come see it. Always some bullshit "whoops didn't mean to hit renew, it sold 7 months ago" "no hablo ingles" then refuse to reply back when I replied in spanish. Or some fuckface thinking he's a flipping genius of pointing out he already got an offer thousands higher than my offer, but a couple hundred under his list price whiel asking for a down payment on an $8000 truck. No dickhead, I live 30 minutes from you I will pay in full today. (obvious scam). Then there are the jackasses who click on profiles and think your decades inactive profile i a fake account. BITCH ITS AN IN PERSON TRANSACTION WHO CARES WHAT MY ANCIENT PROFILE IS.
>>28004208I constantly see retards sitting inside their idling cars in parking lots and in my neighborhood. They’re just sitting there scrolling, fuckinf wasteful fucks. None of them deserve cars. Legit some guy the other day parked next to me and sat there for almost an entire hour idling his car and playing shitty zoomer rap.
>>28016455Another thing I’m seeing a lot of nowadays is these bullshit silent auction type posts where the description will say “price is current highest offer” and we’re just supposed to believe them and participate in their stupid scam. I always report them.
>>28016464Reporting posts does nothing. Theres a bunch of shadetree "dealers" with licenses that post their shitboxes on the privately owned section regularly. I reported the save seller daily for a month straight, no effect. I'm convinced the boomers trying to sell on CL for months at a time either give up and claim everyone in the world is poor, or the take it to a dealer and get 50% of what they were asking for the vehicle. Fuck em, they deserve to lose substantial money for garaging a nice car for a decade thinking it appreciated in value faster than the stock market.
>>28016469I believe it, I reported someone who was literally selling drugs a few days ago and the post is still up.>garaging a nice car for a decadeCareful, you’ll upset the boomers on /o/ and they’ll start chastising you for believing people should have to sell to you.
>>28016485>they’ll start chastising you for believing people should have to sell to you.I know. I've posted many examples of this and /o/ activated the boomer defense force. >hello sir, I'd like to buy this vehicle from you, however your price seems high considering there is rust perforations, the engine ran when parked but mysteriously will not start anymore, and the interior has been destroyed by mice>HEH SONNY THESE ARE RARE AND THIS ONES A SURVIVOR, I'D RATHER SEE IT RUST INTO THE EARTH THAN SELL TO YOU FOR $500 LESS/o/ cheers for the boomer that refuses to sell for less than what their leadlined brain thinks up that day.
>>28016435Agreed, brother

>>28016531No idea who the last two are. The last one is a fucking ugly mutt.
>>27940533What are you on about? Boomers are the most liberal nigger loving generation in human history.
>>27940325every car that has had its price rise up to stupid amounts started off as a meme car on /o/ or whatever forum for being 'bulletproof' or 'a sleeper' or whatever. if you like a car, never say anything about it online and you'll find that they stay pretty cheap.also doug demuro is the fucking worst for this.

Per the seller, subsequent work included performing an oil change and transmission service, removing the previously installed gauge cluster overlays, fitting SN95 Mustang brake calipers, and replacing the radiator, motor mounts, fuel injectors, belts, spark plugs, ignition wires, rear control arm bushings, and interior trim panels. Additional work included repairs to the Automatic Ride Control module and installation of an aftermarket amp, a USB charging outlet, and a premium cassette stereo that has been modified with a Bluetooth module.This guy did all this work to it after he bought it for $10,000 haha Funny stuff

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-chevrolet-corvette-112/the boomerist story that ever boomered>In 1979, I was returning from a state inspection when I heard a knock in the engine. I drove it directly to our favorite, excellent, retired mechanic who was doing part time work from a double garage behind his home. My brother and I have a collection of 12 cars and always took all our cars to him for their needs because he was a trustworthy mechanic and the type you would want to work on your special cars. Years ago, he worked full days but in recent years his health limited him to 3 – 4 hours a day. He analyzed the problem and said we needed a new engine. We ordered a new matching engine. The car sat in his garage next to a Lamborghini he was also working on from 2017 until 2023. During that time, he detected issues with the carburetor, fuel pump, alternator, hvac issues and some other minor issues. We gave him the green light to replace whatever the car needed. Our intention was to keep this car. Now due to our age we decided to sell all our entire collection. In the fall of 2022, he called to tell me he that and his wife were traveling to Tennessee for the winter to stay and visit their son and family. He had also done the same in previous years. In January of 2023, we learned that due to his illness he had passed away in Tennessee. His wife decided to stay there with her son and family until late 2023. I contacted another son of theirs whom lived locally about getting the car out of his father’s garage but he said his mother did not want anyone to go in the garage until she returned home. When she returned, we were finally able to settle with her and allows us permission to remove the car in running condition in early 2024. We had another well-known mechanic who we also sometimes use, review all aspects of the car and make it ready for detailing prior to placing it on BAT for sale. The car is an eye catcher. We usually always get thumbs up at intersections.
>>28024578Remember when Motocompos were practically free?
>>27940344>120-mph speedometeryou shouldnt do half that in this "car"
Never forget, Boomers had zero appriciation for cars until they became specculative assets. Boomshitters would park C2s and GTOs on the grass because they had a slight little problem then let then rot. Any time a boomfuck gives you some wistful story about the "Good ol days" they're full of shit.
>>28025384Same thing with jdm cars
>>28025384either this or they wanna kill themselves now for giving away these cars pretty much for free to boys in the 80s/90s
It isnt the boomers fault they were also abused by their parents and lead poisoned by the gasoline and lead painted cribs leaving them mean and stupid.They arent going to change and bitching about them isnt going to help you be successful.
>>28004485A pace car is supposed to be fast so that the race cars following it don't crash into it, not be some super engaging le canyon carver
>>28004485It's not THE official pace car, how did 3 of you fucking retards not figure this out? It literally says Festival Edition in the title and #5 of 101 Festival Edition in the first fucking sentence, everyone knows they're only sort of special because they're just 100 visually matching and stickered up cars built for parading people around during race events. In this case not even with a lot of effort, compared to say 1998 when they got Corvettes in purple with neon yellow interior and wheels. A couple years ago they just gave one to a black woman because her shitbox got kwabbed by a flying wheel in the parking lot.The actual pace car was a Corvette Grand Sport coupe and not even a Camaro that year.
>>28027932Stupid us, "official vehicle" and we confused it with the limited edition official pace car sold by Fred Thomlinson at the Jack M. Hoff dealership the oldest dealership in cumsuck county where the indy500 is held. Who fucking cares about some gay decal then? If you're a boomer (and you fuckin are) then you've probably creamed your pants about "INDY500" being taped onto the stupid door. We dont' care if its a corvette or a camaro. They're both overpriced because now you have obnoxious decals on the car that serve no purpose other than winding up boomers who barely care about that shit.
>>28027947Being angry at boomers won't change the fact you can't read.
>>28027954Why would I read boomer posts about some overpriced car? Its all delusional bullshit trying to hype up his car with a monologue of nothing?
>>28027970Maybe start a blog if you just want to rant about imaginary things that make you mad. I don't think socioeconomic conditions are why your life in particular sucks though.
>>28027985Start your own blog, doofus. Your car sucks.

>>28028136what's stopping the relatives from harassing or being petty with you now
The car was acquired by the current owner in 2021, and over $68k of work in 2024 included replacing the hood and quarter panels, a repaint in metallic blue, installing an Edelbrock EFI system, and more as detailed below. TThere is currently a lien on the car, and the current owner’s lender will need to be paid off before the title can be transferred to the new owner.So boomers are getting bank Loans to restomod trans now. That's pretty Fucked up. Wtf bank does this? don't the bank jews know the money is wasted?

>>27947208god lana rhoades is beautiful. why'd she have to become a whore
>>28025384>Boomshitters would park C2s and GTOs on the grass because they had a slight little problem then let then rot.You do realise that most of the time when they parked this shit up to rot in a field for decades, at that point in time the cars were effectively worthless, and if they weren't lazy and didn't leave them there, they would have ended up crushed, right?So rather than you seething over some old fuck with a Challenger he parked in his yard under a tree when it was worth $300, there would be no car at all for you to seethe at?

Are these "hair cuts" because borrowing money years ago was free, and today its too expensive to pay super high prices on these cars?Kinda like the mortgage rate increase caused many house prices to fall rather quickly if people tried to sell?
>>28034197Boomer pcar reverence is hard to understand.And now the boomer are old and rich they are all chasing the same vehicles like the pcar above. That is what they are familiar with. Too many rich old people pursuing too few cars. Interest rates I do not think that they are going to matter for older generations that actually have real wealth.So why does the price go down? Eventually they can't afford to keep so many cars.
