Replied, are you the first person who responded? Its so funny watching people's reactions to the car. Hopefully the ecomodder stencils might intrigue some people enough to do a search.

I just though of something else funny, on monday I passed Justin Bieber's caddilac CTSV in Waterloo which he calls the batmobile, and has batmobile badges on it. So the batmobile and the 'Joker's batmobile' actually met!

Not me! I haven't replied on Reddit.

So what replacement car are you looking at? Going to spill the beans?

Oh I'm surprised actually! Whoever commented first knew that it was an ecomodder car and gave a link to this thread, I assumed that was you. How did you come across it?

I am hesitant to say because it is not 100% yet, but I am leaning VERY, very heavily towards it. A 94 VX I want the car, I am just figuring out the final details required to import the car to Canada from the US.

A VX would be nice. Haven't seen one in person for years (those cars are distant, rusty memories in this part of the world).

Do you see the "Linkbacks" list at the bottom of the page? That's where I saw the Reddit link.

That's why I'm really hoping to get this one!

I don't see the linkbacks, but I will take your word for it.

A manual I hope!

The Kammback looks nice with the glossy rear end. Hopefully the Civic will be a better starting point though.

It's been surprising how many people like the Probe (even with the boat tail) and surely the Neon is no different. Maybe it speaks to a cultural desire for "different" car designs?

Yeah the Civic will be a massively better starting point than the Neon. Some people just laugh hysterically at it, but almost everyone I talk to, once they understand the idea of it usually like it.

I was just talking to the local scrap/ partsyard who said that they will give me $250 for the Neon, maybe more if someone else offers better.

try parting it out first, i made roughly $500 off a ford taurus about a year ago when i scrapped her and still have some parts in the garage if i ever find any1 who needs em, all i really sold off her was a door and separated the rims for full aluminum price

That is if its really that bad id imagine running/driveable you should make around a 1000 at min
