I was going to post this clip a few hours ago in the rumble strip.

The current winning bid is up to $150,000.

"A fool and his money are soon parted".

 

[Beeblebrox237]

I find it hard to believe that that bid is legitimate.

 

[HuskyGT]

I would totally buy it if I can get it for around $900

Are there actually people that drive around with a coffee machine on their passenger seat?

Presumably only in countries with straight roads... I wouldn't fancy that thing next to me going through a roundabout at 30/40mph!

 

[CCLOPES]

Hey I think i saw this on reddit!

 

[CSLACR]

$500 would be a steal.
150k not so much.

I think maybe his girlfriend really did that, and that's where the idea came from. But I'm totally guessing.

 

[TiMcF1]

Hah that is a really good commercial, "luxury is a state of mind" nice one.

 

[Rich S]

Brilliant!!!! $500 is about right. Maybe even $399. Know of a 97 civic that still burns very little oil, parties like it's 1997!!! 250k.

I had/have Honda Prelude for 10 years, all I can tell is that it is very high quality and have very reliable engine... suspension breaks a lot on bad surface, but handling is good! Honda needs to get back to its roots, latest cars are not that impressive, more simple, fast, reliable = Honda!

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Just checked eBay, it's been relisted and is currently at $540. Somehow I'm not surprised...

The instant that video hit Reddit, the auction probably got bombed with fake bids so fast that eBay had to scramble to hit the stop button. You can't trust Reddit with anything.

Am redditor. Can confirm.

 

[Joey D]

Am redditor. Can confirm.

Also redditor, also can confirm

r/cars is a good source of news though (even if they have a weird obsession with Doug DeMuro (Hi Doug!)) and they aren't Jalopnik.

"Luxury is a state of mind" almost sounds like a slogan you would hear in a Lincoln commercial that features Matthew McConaughey.

I thought the same thing, should have included a reference too it in the article. Missed opportunity.
