this thing looks awesome

wouldn't pay 700k for it, rather buy a couple ferraris or 5 porsche 911s

That is one beautiful car. I'm not a big fan of 50's and 60's cars, but that thing was done right.

If I had Bill Gates money, I'd buy it.

IF I had 700k of disposable income I'd be investing in realestate. Surely theres an island somewhere suitable for an evil lair.

I'd like it more if it weren't lowered so far. I can't stand cars that look like they couldn't make it over a speed bump.

I still like the looks of an original Nomad better. Those are nice wagons.

That Nomad isn't terrible, but the rims are atrocious. Why do people insist on ruining perfectly good cars with ugly, hideous, overbearing chrome rims?
For all the trash I talk, I sure own a lot of Macs...

Not for 700k, there isn't. I think evil lair islands start at around $15 million.

If I were going to blow lots and lots of money on a vehicle, it'd either be

a Unimog


or a school bus like this eBay listing:



$1,500 for the bus, and $698,500 left over to trick it out!

Um, where is the cluth pedal?

Edit: Why doesn't the picture show?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Then we'd at least have a down payment to work with, right?
