Or turn them into bogus Tigers, which is common. We call them "Algers". There is so much fraud going on now in the hobby, one has to be extremely vigilant. Even the documentation is being faked, and very well done, too. Datsun 240Z seems a bit high priced, given that it has dents and has been in storage since 1992. You could sink a lot of money into a car like that. Obviously will need tires, brake work and rehab on the AC. Also rusty air cleaner does not support the meticulous maintenance claimed, seems to me. But still, it's like the Space Shuttle compared to a Sunbeam Alpine, which I suspect an exhumed mechanic from 1925 would have no problem working on.

The IMA represents Lockheed in Palmdale and the UAW at other Lockheed plants. We/they are all union brothers and sisters, who have a common cause. To be told that "he hasn't the right ethnic background" is illegal and I bet GM would never admit to that. As capitalism teaches us, the cream always rises to the top. Those who are at the bottom of the barrel are inferior. Almost like an Alger's novel, where a good person of great moral character goes from rags to riches. Therefore, all the CEOs must be better than the rest of us, including the entire workforce. The aristocracy would like you to believe this and that its your own fault that your a poor and or lacking in another area. That flaws in ones moral character hinder the masses. Since way back then the masses have been conditioned and led to believe this. Brain washed in the manner a Madison Ave firm sells a product. A social Darwinism of sorts, where the weak and feeble perish and the morally superior thrive. You say it enough and it becomes gospel. Its just fecal matter. I'm aware of CEOs racking $15,000 a year in greens fees at country clubs. I'm not quite sure how rounds and hours of golf that is? Someone please calculate that out. However, I'm not going to envy them. If someone is willing to pay them that, so be it. A shoe deal, a signing bonus, and a grill named after you, is the American dream.

Stereotyped communism or socialism is no more a fantasy world than the Horatio Alger myth in America. You can pervert any system to evil purposes. Economic "failure" needs a time frame to be judged properly. DIESEL CAR MARKET-- the resale on TDIs is strong because of scarcity, not necessarily because everyone actually wants one. I don't see diesel passenger cars as becoming a major market in America but I do see room for growth. Diesel cars have an immense image problem to overcome in America...it's just not our thing.

Unfortunate color on the Tiger...well at least he has the certificate of authenticity. These cars can be easily faked and the fakes are difficult to spot...you have to snoop around underneath and checked for welded up battery boxes, etc. The VIN won't tell you anything. So beware of buying a tarted up Alpine made into a Tiger...we call them "Algers". He might get the low $20Ks but $29K seems unlikely. Fun car to drive? Well, sorta, if you like steering with the gas pedal and having your shins burned off. Karmann Ghia -- wasn't that the name of the gay choreographer's assistant in Mel Brooks "The Producers"? Funny movie. Ghias are cheap to repair MECHANICALLY but not cosmetically. They are unibodies and the fenders don't come off like on a bug. Also, any trim pieces are very very expensive. So all in all, not an easy restoration if you have to re-work the body or replace missing pieces. Your best friend will be a welding torch.
Re: Is E85... [andre1969]

"cars MPG can drop anywhere from 5 to 15 percent. It depends on the make of the car -- one driver said her Suburban gets 3 mpg less with E85. ..." CAVEAT: "Only a few dozen types of vehicles are equipped to use E85, and Algers' '93 Suburban is not one of them. So it is a little less efficient as a fuel. I would predict that E100 would worsen the MPG even more.... As far as price, E85 is about 30 cents cheaper in Illinois this week: http://www.rrstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050411/NEWS0107/504110316/1004/NEWS A quick Excel spreadsheet tells me that if E85 gives the LOW END and reduces fuel efficiency by 15%, then an 18,000 mile year for a car getting 48.5 MPG on regular unleaded, you would save a whopping TWO DOLLARS A YEAR on fuel. If your car only loses 5% of it's regular unleaded efficiency when using E85, then you would save $86 a year. So somewhere between $2 and $86 per year savings using E85 all year.

MERCEDES DEPRECIATION: Just about all mass-produced Mercedes are depreciating. Some have "bottomed out" and won't go lower, but very few (relative to all models that were made) are appreciating in value, and those are all pre 1972 two doors of various types. The rest are just nice (or not so nice) used cars and so are worth less as they age, which is what used cars do. So, yeah, the longer you wait, the cheaper the big 4-doors will get. Gray market or heavily modified Mercedes (old AMG stuff) take the worst hit on depreciation. BMW Turbos: Not rare by collector car standards but rare by most American car standards--1,672 produced, 1973-1974. Alpines, Tigers and Algers: It's pretty easy to fake a Tiger using an Alpine (and this is commonly done as a Tiger is worth 4 to 5 times the price of an Alpine) but if you know what to look for you can spot a fake. First there's the VIN number that tips you off, but that can easily be changed, as there is only one place on the car that has a VIN number. Another more subtle tip off is that the Alpine has a trap door behind the passenger seat to access the battery. A Tiger has a fuel pump in that same place and the batter in the trunk. So you could probably spot a cut off battery box on the frame. On the later MkII Tigers, that trap door itself isn't supposed to be there, so you could spot a welded up floor. But outwardly, no, not really, you can't tell.
