Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

A few general comments about extensively modified cars.

I watch a very successful Internet auction site daily, when dozens of cars are sold, or not sold (if they do not meet reserve).

Very frequently cars with extensive modifications fail to sell because they did not meet their owner's reserve price.

Buyers are wise to avoid those cars like the plague. First of all, one owner's modification is another's automotive atrocity. This is especially true with Exotic Supercars like ROlls ROyces, who are all essentially custom-made to their usually tasteless owner's (nouveaux riche) specs. Second, the modifications have most likely screwed up with the reliability of the car parts, and Third, if your state requires an inspection, usually engine modifications mess with it and you need to get certified again.

On top of all that, used car prices reached a peak LONG AGO and have been FALLING since. Most of Tim's worthless 'finds' here seem to come from a different planet, their owners seem clueless to the above FACT.

  To my surprise, I see a Tassos comment with reasoned and well considered discussions....until the last sentence. Tim's finds are not "worthless" they are instead entertaining....which is a prime reason for TTAC's existence - entertaining its readers.

I cannot wait until the all black wheel trend goes away. I have only ever seen one car that looked good with black wheels. ICK

3-On-The-Tree They are hard to get in and out of. I also like the fact that they are still easy to work on with the old school push rod V8. My son’s 2016 Mustang GT exhaust came loose up in Tuscon so I put a harbor freight floor jack, two jack stands, tool box and two 2x4 in the back of the vette. So agreed it has decent room in the back for a sports car.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh so what?? .. 7.5 billion is not even in the same hemisphere as the utterly stupid waste of money on semiconductor fabs to the tune of more than 100 billion for FABS that CANNOT COMPETE in a global economy and CANNOT MAKE THE US Independent from China or RUSSIA. we REQUIRE China for cpu grade silicon and RUSSIA/Ukraine for manufacturing NEON gas for cpus and gpus and other silicon based processors for cars, tvs, phones, cable boxes ETC... so even if we spend trillion $ .. we STILL have to ask china permission to buy the cpu grade silicon needed and then buy neon gas to process the wafers.. but we keep tossing intel/Taiwan tens of billions at a time like a bunch of idiots.Google > "mining-and-refining-pure-silicon-and-the-incredible-effort-it-takes-to-get-there" Google > "silicon production by country statista" Google > "low-on-gas-ukraine-invasion-chokes-supply-of-neon-needed-for-chipmaking"
ToolGuy Clearly many of you have not been listening to the podcast.
1995 SC This seems a bit tonedeaf.
1995 SC Well I guess that will be the final nail in the Mini EV's coffin here. It was already not especially competitive, had no range and was way overpriced for what you get, but I like to get stuff like that used and well depreciated on occcasion though I likely would have passed anyway due to the Chinese manufacture.
