One wonders if there are any new cars left out there these days! The world seems to only produce sports cars anymore and everyone wants a sports car even if it started out as a dodge neon. Some mechanic in tinsel town will make it lool like a Ferrari then everyone wants to drive it or atleast download pics of it off the web!
I prefer the older models; easy to drive, no gadgets, no special paint job and they are easier to work on!
lol @ dling pics off the web.
1. It's still possible for me to get a '23, maybe even a '22. It's probably not going to be fresh off the factory floor, but there's a fair chance that it might be in pretty pristine condition . . . especially, if you get one that's spent a lot of time getting work done on what's under the "bonnet/hood," as opposed to acquiring all kinds of flashy and useless bodywork/tailpipes, etc.
2. Agree w you that all cars want to look like sports models these days. you'd think a chevy malibu would know that no spoiler in the world is going to turn it into a porsche carrera. It's just going to look ridiculous . . . especially at the beach.
3. There are new "retro" models available, but they're usually at showrooms w crosses on top of them . . . and i've heard conflicting reports about Utah. Some tell me that many of the cars there don't get mileage put on them until someone buys them, but then others tell me that the cars do all kinds of wild shit, going off-road, getting turbos, etc., and then suddenly they pretend to be all pristine when a buyer shows up. But i have very little first-hand experience, and what i have indicates low mileage on cars coming out of Utah. I might have to go out there and check it out myself.
