    We're both midwesterners, we both know you should naturally check it out much more thoroughly first or the seller should give waaaay more pics. Looks nice though, I dislike this era of C3 aesthetically but it's probably a hoot to drive as long as it has 3 pedals

    I mean, there are three pedals...
    And the seller has more photos on the listing, but yeah, I'll check for rust underneath.
    I like the color, too, both inside and out.

    Dear auto makers, I will never buy a “dark” or “night” package, stop trying to make a lack of chrome stylish, the only ones that can pull it off are commercial vehicles and the Volvo 240.

    I kinda disagree chrome on most modern cars is rather ugly. I deleted all of the chrome on my car and it looks alot better

    I think chrome looks great on older cars, but painted plastic looks okay on newer ones. Better than black plastic, at least.


    Anyways, I’m going to go look at this truck later this week.

    It doesn't look good on the cheaper modern cars.

    A bit much they're asking, and just because the tires are "like new" doesn't mean that they are new or safe, check the date. Also look at much it's used, a car used sparingly will very likely be a real pain, as you have found out with your Eagle. Also supposedly in your country there are issues with quality workmanship with carburettor's and such so that "rebuilt carb" might be trouble, but i cant really speak from experience because i have just always done stuff like that myself

    But there is a huge plus! ...

    Its 'vette, you'll never, ever have trouble getting parts whether they be mechanical or trim, and it'll all be had for cheap too

    So it'll be a good buy for that reason alone, i would recommend using the thing to flip some quick money, but not at that asking price, plus you have to remember your very tall. Tall people and corvette are not the greatest match

    My opinion; Buy for half the price or walk away, also the pictures didn't load

    As some of you may remember, I made my fictional country named Republic of Wintergreen. Today, I want to share features that are commonly seen on WGDM (Wintergreenian Domestic Market) cars:
    • Optional side reflectors (if available)
    • Optional fender signals (if available)
    • Optional 5 mph bumpers (if available)
    • Extended number plate space on bumpers and trunks (if available)
    • LHD (obviously)
    • CADM/metric gauge clusters
    • CHSML lights
    • Headlight washers (if available)
    • Optional DRL headlights (if available)
    • Single or dual fog lights and reverse lights
    In my fictional country, you see a LOT of American, European, African, Asian, and Oceanian cars, like in Chile, Israel, and even China.
    Lemme know what you think. :)

    I'm not actually buying that Corvette.

    Say, what do you think about this truck?

    Says EUDM fanboy, who doesn't like beige interiors.
    Your opinion does not matter to me.

    The problem is that you can't do that forever. I hope people realize the harm of connected cars just like what they did against leaded paint and leaded fuel in the past.

    I mean, I know a guy who still drives a '77 Cutlass to work every day, a guy who uses a '67 F250 as his regular work truck, and a guy who drove a red 1972 Pantera GTS as a daily commuter until ~10 years ago... It's possible.
