Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I can attest to this @bcredeur97 I drive a Fiat 500 Sport and when those trucks come in with their high beams on yikes. Big cars don't treat small ones so nicely : (. There was a G wagon about a car length and a half behind me in the right lane, I put my turn signal on and he immediately put the pedal to the floor forcing me back into my lane only to cut in front of me. He could've just gone behind me with all the space he had, don't know why he had to do what he did...

because no one passes me in my G wagon

It's frustrating because it forces you to make an, otherwise, unnecessary down shift to allow him in front of you.

You'd better hold onto that, those are extremely rare considering that chevy didn't start Camaro production until 67. ;)

don't know how you got your hands on a pre production camaro since they didn't come out till 67, but maybe a possible typo? could you really have a car that was 4 years before production st arted?

So nothing like an AK47 then.

well ... you never know

I know that the AK platform's reliability is highly overrated, despite not being better than FN FALs, G3s, AR15s, AUGs, etc.

 

And the 47 itself was very problematic, quickly replaced.

Offered him 750 cash for it. Photos look good, but its a fair price I think for an old Peugeot in NZ (my 407 from 2006 even looking new is only worth 4k here), the clear coat is coming off, soft top has mould and seat has a giant tear in it, not to mention 200k. Still low balling but no harm in asking. If I get it I'll put the interior of my 407 in there and should look really cool. 

 

Also looks really big in the photos. I wouldn't be able to lie down in it and would need to drive with the soft top off lol. 

 

I think he also knows he's not getting 5k for it, and he's asking for 6 on a notice on it.

tbh that's hideous.

 

and also 200k sounds like nothing.

200k is a lot for me buying. It is pretty beaten up close too.
