  1. Mine had around 150K on it when I got it as a sophomore.  Completely restored it to stock.  Then I used it as a daily driver all through hs/UT/grad school.  Put another 185k on it.  Now it's on the slow roll.  I'm only about six weeks of work and a bucket load of money from being finished.  But I'll get there.  Probably right when we get flux capacitors.

    Yeah it's a nice car for sure, but why do it to a run of the mill coupe ?  If I'm dumping serious coin, it's in a fastback, convertible or at least a GT coupe.

    If I dump $170K, it's in a Shelby fastback, or a KR convertible 

    I'm dumping money (not $170k mind you) into my coupe because it's a family heirloom.  It was the family car when I was born, my folks brought me home from the hospital in it.  And it was my first car.  So maybe it was something like that and Dad died and the kids don't care.  We'll see that more and more as electrics come into fashion.

    This is where we have fucked up as a country.  The weak and stupid are supposed to die so they can't pass on their genes and overpopulate gerrymandered districts.  We reap what we sow.

    That thing is going to close over 40

     

    ETA: closed at 36.5

    Didn't he say he dumped $170k into it?  

    Sounds about right.  

    And I did see the undercarriage pics.  Looked nice.

    $27K for a coupe seems awfully high.  Nothing magical about that car other than maybe a nice paint job and some kicked up engine doo hickies. My convertible is nice, but I wouldn't get $27 or 28k  for it I bet.

    This. 

    On the other hand, if you're looking to buy a coupe, this has had a shit ton of money dumped into it in a good way.  You definitely want to get something that's been restored by someone who knows what they're doing, and then tweak it, rather than buying a beater and being the guy who's doing all the money dumping to get it where you want.

    Thanks for the advice, but still would like any meta article covering the big picture suggested by recent events from a mainstream news source if someone has one.  

    We may just not quite be there yet from a MSM perspective?  For all the calls of TDS from Shaggy/Surly’s conservative denizens, this thread has been pretty solid at forecasting what’s coming down the pipe.

    Seriously.  As if there was any doubt, this proves that literally the only question on the current White House job application is "will you be totally loyal to Trump, no matter what?", and a "yes" answer is the only requirement for hiring?  I mean, I'm usually glad that stupid people can find gainful employment, everyone needs a job.  But gotdamn.

    Yeah, but it isn't a long term opportunity.

    I was at a HH and forgot about the presale. By the time I jumped in around midnight, the best I could do was Left Orchestra Row TT on the aisle between that section and the middle.

    That's about where I am.  There are three seats still left in middle orchestra but you can't take just two.

    Black thing is a reverb tank. VanAmps Sole-Mate. 

    Yeah, I need a four-way splitter.

    Other side of the room is just as ridiculous. Three heads, three cabs, more combos, bass amp.

    Gonna spend this weekend getting the pedalboard back in order.

    Where's the pic of the other side of the room?

    C'mon Deej, your slipping.

     

    Also agree with you on the repro faceplate.  There's nothing quite as bad as getting almost what you wanted.  It's always going to bother you if you don't just go ahead and pull the trigger on it.
