I saw this beast again & Oo-wee it sounded even meaner this time around! I thought it was a Merc Lead Sled but Google circle to search says it's a 1947 or 1948 Plymouth Special Deluxe Business Coupe. The chopped roofline is 🔥.

Picked up my 75th Anniversary Wrangler today:
It's been close to 10 years and I'm so over it. Lessons learned, will never buy a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep anything ever again.

My wife started coaxing me into trading this ****box in for a new MX-5 and I see no reason not to. She wants a fun beach car and I want out of this mess so it's win-win.

A dealership near me is getting an MX-5 club with the BBS/Brembo/Recaro package later this month and it looks like it has my name on it.
 
1st wash earlier today. Didn't go to too crazy with claying or foam blasting, did just regular rinse, soap & scrub, rinse + the spotty rain showers ⛈️ here today didn't help one bit.I just wanted to get the dirt & dust off of them from their 800 miles open trailer journey.

I'm going to do a proper detail & deep clean sometime soon, maybe middle of next week weather permitting.

Unfortunately my baby was stolen the night of Feb.4th at 3AM :emoji_cry:. These 2 are dope in their own special unique way I like to believe. I've moved on(not by choice) from my vroom vroom muscle car days & am officially into driving "old man" cars now.
 
One of my friends lives in NW, DC near spring valley and is looking to get a motorcycle. They want somewhere to park/store it, that isn't too expensive. I've recommended looking into storage units or monthly parking in a garage. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thank you.

Damn that sucks man you had one of the cleanest scats in a great spec. Was it ever recovered and did insurance take care of you after all the money you dropped on the mods?
 
one of my bros friends had him reach out to me to see if id sell my daily commuter ( 2012 honda fit)

had no idea their value was up there like that.
i can clear a cool 7500 for it

had me looking into a used 11th gen honda civic sport, or even a tesla model 3 over the weekend


i like the fit cause ive always liked the civic hatchbacks and i know theyre not producing them anymore
but upgrading does interest me
 
Funny thing is they had a new 2025 that they had marked down from 149k to 127k. I have been watching it for the last month and I told the salesman my offer started under 120k … for that price I’m not eating the 20k depreciation sitting in the showroom.


Anyway the point is why do these crazy ADM for a mass production vehicle only to have it depreciate in your showroom ?? I never understood that business model

Greediness by dealers. They’re way too in over their head thinking anything that’s “performance” has that limited edition effect that would draw people to come and buy at all costs
