Oddbean new post about login | logout Oof! Battery weight. You ordered the new one didn't you? Is that heavier?
Also been craving something classic… need an old ride
Hmm any ideas?
In the past it’s always been American muscle cars. Now I’m kinda leaning Brit muscle possibly 1980 Aston Martin
V8.. V8 Vantage.. 🫡
Any experience or advice with these vehicles?
It has its known and common issues in varying degrees of severity from mechanical latch issues to total engine failure. A few have come through the workshop. My usual advice to would be buyers of classic AMs is generally non-technical and that’s.. be prepared. One with good maintenance history is preferred. I think most common issues can be addressed by a restomod. This late 70s V8 we maintain is owned by the son of a former owner of AM who lives in the area. This one doesn’t have any problems. 😄 https://i.nostr.build/hfe51gkqkncsDZYX.jpg
Wow, LOVE that color! Awesome excellent advice thank you 🙏🏻 yeah I figured the “be prepared” part so I’ve been very cautious as there’s not a lot to choose from around LA. The one or two I’ve seen were reasonably priced but not in good shape at all. I do like the idea of restomoding something but that budget is down the line in a future time.
