With the mock-Mercedes badging on the back? Sweet.
I actually saw a K-car with a huge wing on the trunklid the other day.
Looked like it was homemade out of flashing and pop rivets. There
850i, the unloved overweight forgotten GT.

But is there any V12 car whose value hasn't dropped like a rock since
the day it rolled off the lot?
I know we've talked before here about the notorio

As usual,
I think that's another way of saying, "I didn't want to spend the money to
convert it, but you can, after you give me some money for the car first".

Probably why they are selling it -- gonna cost that much to keep it
running. I googled the phone and it is some used car dealer a bit south
of town, probably picked it up cheap somewhere because it had issues.
But still it would be kinda fun to have something so powerful, but I
doubt I could
Hi Andrew
Interesting to see how much difference minimal color changes make.
I had, in 1970, a red 1965 Mustang. My car had originally been painted white
but the dealer was smart and painted
it red when it came in on a trade. I ordered paint for a 65 red Mustang which
was Rangoon Red. It was no
it was about $160,000 if I remember. I know the new top of the line V12
bitubos are over $200 now.

turns out that the ceo of the company personally wrote those ads, which
explains a lot.
i'm not quite sure the super bowl is the place to advertise "sales leads"
anyway, at least not at 2.7 million an ad (which look like they cost 68
cents to make)

This is all part of the marketplace - lost sales due to offending people.

Looks a little sad without its star. One also wonders where the rust is.
This is priceless: "Ready to receive a vegetable fuel system." He could
have also written "ready to receive a bellyful of Mobil One".

Yes, sorry to say...
The color looks like English red (which is more on the orange side, but
that's what they call it). I much prefer "middle red" (mittlerot)

As usual, my prediction was somewhat rash - there are still three candidates
in the GOP mix, and McCain could always say something unexpected (and stupid
or offensive) that would undo his momentum. I could still be proven
correct, however, if Romney elects to pull out today for the sake of party

There seems to be quite a bit of ethical research being done on the uses of
of curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric (Phenocane). Side effects
seem to be either rare or undocumented. For a list of some 300+ abstracts
go to:
www.pubmed.gov and type in "curcumin side effects".

I searched car-part.com and then contacted some of the folks that claimed to
have one. One came back and said they
did not have it anymore. A second one bounced back as a bad address. A third
one came back and said he had it -
still on the car - and I bought it.
