I remember a restaurant I worked for in Utah had one of these as a delivery vehicle, little older, like 87, 5 speed. I mainly remember it as on of the slowest vehicles I have ever driven.....Like not quite VW bus/beetle slow, but close.Will you kids STFU back there? Daddy is trying to rev match!

and dam, $304,000 on the window and its at 351,000 right at the start.....
Because it's f'n ugly? I love 911's and this looks like they handed off a 911 to the Honda Civic Type R designers and said "have fun."
ya it does look like it drove thru a pep boys with the crap magnet attached.

This is what its come too? Bidding on old minivans? Ten years ago this was the type of vehicle where you would have had to pay someone to come take it off your hands. I don't even think you could drive this around "ironically" and look cool.Will you kids STFU back there? Daddy is trying to rev match!

If that Porsche spent its life on a trailer going from racetrack to racetrack, it would be amazing. On the road though, wear your fat-brined hat sideways and break out your vape.

What's the difference between bidding on an old minivan vs on an old anything else? We do have to see where bidding goes but if I saw that at the local cars n coffee or at the trail head (it would make a great bike transport) I would think is was cool ("ironically" or not). The manual makes a big difference with this Caravan and seperates it from the paying someone to take it off your hands category. Add to that it is relatively low miles, clean and NR, it will make an interesting auction on BaT.

Back in the day I knew several people that turbo’s that 2.5 motor. Shortly after they would blow up and they’d put the turbo on another one.Will you kids STFU back there? Daddy is trying to rev match!

I remember seeing a video years ago of a turbo Caravan with the faux wooden siding running something like a 12-second quarter mile. Beat an 8-cyl Mustang in the other lane if I recall correctly. You could hear kids cheering in the background, who presumably arrived at the track in said Caravan.
So you know I'm completely nuts. Here's more proof.
I realized after the sale that Porsche Warrington never gave me the original window sticker for the Macan. I called, they looked for a week. No luck. Lost.
So I asked them to get me a new one. Oh well, we have to contact the factory in Leipzig and they have to generate a new one, ship it to NA HQ, then to us, etc, etc. I said SO CALL. You got your five star reviews from me, so earn it.
After three calls, a few emails, and two months... I'm a little annoyed they didn't laminate it for me.

Neighbors new truck a few doors down across the street. 2024 Titan.
Replaces a 2023 Nissan Frontier that was 4 months old. Monday or Tuesday this week in the pouring rain he was driving on 80 and came around one of the bendy sections down in Bergen county and there was someone who had already spun out and was stopped facing him the wrong way in the left lane he hit the car head on going about 60 nowhere to go.
Lucky he was not badly injured at all as the car did it’s job and saved his life and is totaled. Also lucky he was driving alone and not with his family.
I won’t share the accident pic but I told him to go buy another one since that one worked out so well. But since they just had a 2nd kid a few months ago he wanted more room anyway. And the insurance payout helped him upgrade.
also told him to play the lottery with that luck. So glad it didn’t end badly. 🙏🏻

Did the K car belong to John Voight?
