    For #$%&'s sake everybody log in there and vote "Nice Price."

    I KNOW it's not a $17k car, but damnit that's a Maverick on a mainstream automotive enthusiast blog with a poll underneath it. You know what has to be done. Maverick pride and dignity are on the line!

    As did I, but I'm surprised to see that the votes aren't looking good. 642 Nice Price, 708 Crack Pipe. :bs:

    ....C'mon people! Let's turn that around! :thumbs2:

    Well... I hate to admit it, but it is Crack Pipe. I doubt any of us have ever seen a $17k Maverick.

    But nevermind all that. Nice Price! Vote, people, vote!

    ...Yeah, they are, as usual, a bit lacking in their Maverick lore.

    Did my part. I just wished he asked slightly less. After reading the comments, most people would have voted :thumbs2: if it had been a few thousand less.

    Not sure about the build....but I assume it was a ground up resto mod. If so the price price seems in check. Ask Mavaholic what he'd ask for his Sprint?

    On the other hand, if it is a nice car...you could buy it for $17,000....or go buy a nice new loaded Chevy Cobalt for the same price.
