I just thought of something...

The dude is 90 years old and he's selling his car and his cherished number.
Whats the chances he thinks he's about to pop his clogs.

If that is the case. Whats the etiquette in haggling with a dying man?

Perhaps he's trying to get you to form the opinion he's dying, and therefore won't haggle with him. Reverse psychology ftw

Maybe he just wants a sexy teenager to come round and scrub him in the bath

unless i'm reading the wrong specs, it seems the T5 has a slower 0-60, slower 0-100, slower 1/4 mile and a slower top speed


Corrado is a better looking/cooler car anyway.

Jim, that's because a T5 is useless from a standing start - however, from 40 upwards, they are a proper weapon.
