For $10,700, be capricious
For $10,700, be capricious-August 2024

If you like big butts and you cannot lie, today's Caprice might just make you fly. Punks'll wanna hit it and then they'll wanna quit it, but 's gonna' win it. And while its donks might cause you starin,' the price that it is wearin' might mean a brother just has to deny.

Okay, that'll be about enough of that, thank you very much. We'll get back to the Hooptie in just a minute but right now we have to see how yesterday's faired. With a frighteningly lopsided 78% Nice Price win, it obviously hallowed your weens.

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat is a common demand heard from pirates,

That B-body wagon was one of the last of GM's mastodons, lumbering creatures made extinct by the advent of the Compact parking space. Shared with the big Buick was Chevy's B, known internationally has the cop car of choice when that choice didn't include Ford's Crown Victoria. Today's is no cop car, but it may be the perfect place to cop a feel.

Rocking both a hue and shape that makes it appear of the order, Cetacea, this custom Caprice is described by its seller as eye-catching and tasteful which it might be if your point of reference is Carrot Top's suite at the Las Vegas Luxor. The wheels are massive, chromed 24-inch jobs in a stylized iron cross design, as though straight from an episode of Berlin's Vat not to Vear. Wrapped around those are tires that - as they appear in the ad - are either rice paper thin or uniformly pumped to a max of 6 psi. Along with the donks, this Caprice sports the visual differentiators of custom (i.e. eBay) head and tail lamps, and a from valance featuring a deeper vented skirt and front airdam.

The rest of the exterior looks stock, and is still the encumbrance-free aero design that was both a shocking departure from its boxy predecessor and a boon to car washes nationwide. While that may be a little yawn-inducing like a homely date it's what's inside that counts, and in this case, it's inside where the money was shot.

The interior goes full two-tone beige vinyl and features more speakers than Steve Jobs' memorial (what, too soon?). Even the dash gets the vinyl treatment and the wide front bench is like a sweet caramel ocean of the stuff, as is the ass plateau in the back. But what really makes the rear compartment - nay, the entire car -special is the pair of mirrors that have been artistically fitted into the headliner just aft of the dome light. Back seats are prime locations for bumping fuzz and this one heightens the mood by turning the space into a rolling Playboy mansion. Not only is the seating material anti-microbial and easy to clean, but the mirrors allow you to check technique and to offer yourself a high-five for your good taste and skill in conquest.

Mechanically, should that even matter now, the Caprice is said powered by a rebuilt 355 (350 bored .030 over) with less than 30K under its fanbelt. That's backed up by a 700R4 automatic, but if you really jones for a stick, those will fit this B as well. Flowmaster exhaust, renewed brakes and front suspension, plus airbags to make for a pillow-smooth ride round out the serious hardware upgrades which are at least equal to the car's visual enhancements.

Overall, this Caprice rocks a Day-um worthy 201,000 miles total, but with all the new stuff that has been added or replaced, it's hard to say whether that would even matter, especially in light of the pure awesomeness that is that backseat whoopie factory.

If this Caprice really is as good as it's described, then it probably won't have any performance issues. Contrastingly, should you be experiencing - well, performance issues, then this might be the ticket and for $10,700 it might be a better prescription than a fist full of little blue pills.

What do you think of this love-donk? Are its modifications worth that $10,700? Or, while the car may be fly, is that price too high?

You decide!

At $5,200, Could This 2001 BMW 325Xi Have Any Miles Left In It?
At $5,200, Could This 2001 BMW 325Xi Have Any Miles Left In It?
Today’s 325Xi has over 281,000 miles on the clock. That’s farther than a trip to the moon, and this Bimmer doesn’t have Mission Control backing it up. Maybe the price will make it worth lighting this candle. Tell me, what’s the happiest song you can think of? Is it Y.M.C.A....

The 2018 Jaguar E-Pace Is Pretty But It’s No Performance Car
The is a noble effort in the quest to make the small crossover SUV/sports car mashup aesthetic work. It’s decent to drive, too. But don’t get too carried away convincing yourself that this is a family-friendly ; the E-Pace’s value proposition is more about style than substance. ( Jaguar’s people...

Here’s Why Subaru Thinks It Can Charge You $50,000 For The WRX STI Type RA
“Not a chance.” That’s how most of you will react when reading the headlines talking about the $50,000 . Before slamming your fingers onto your rage-spit-covered keyboard and typing out your 2,500-word magnum opus of hatred, allow me a few words to explain how this is basically Subaru’s own Camaro...

At $8,995, Would You Make This 1990 Nissan 240SX Your Homie?
The ad for today’s S13 claims that the car has never-ever strayed from its Southern California home. Let’s see if this local yokel is priced to now see the world. Do you recall when Forrest Gump, in the movie of the same name, decided “for no particular reason” to go...

The 2018 Kia Stinger GT Is The Real Deal
In car reviews, recounting how much “better” the Korean automakers are than they were in decades past has become painfully cliché. It doesn’t need to be said that Hyundai and Kia make world-class cars these days and have for some time, except in one area: performance. This is what the...

Here Are The Cars You Should Buy New Instead Of Used In 2018
I’ve never subscribed to the “always buy used cars” philosophy, but some folks are still convinced that due to depreciation, pre-owned models are the smartest financial purchase. This study from reveals for some cars this year, the used version doesn’t save you that much. Recently, , and naturally many of...
