Pulled up behind a Juke. License plate: JUKEBX1. Thought, okay guess some other owner beat you to it. Passed by them, and up ahead, another Juke. Do they really sell a lot of these ugly ducklings?, I think. I get closer and see the tag (a Native American nation one, limited to 5 characters): JUKBX.

Quite a strange moment...

It looks like they had a 3rd grader design it ... what were they thinking?

This helps... Juke RS. I believe AWD, MT or CVT, 2.X Turbo

Or someone blind and/or mentally challenged.

I always wonder - groupthink on shit like this or one person being very wrong and everyone else being afraid to tell them. Case in point: Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes . Horrible. He also fucked up Dark Shadows (thanks for raping my childhood!). But no one will tell him 'no.' The Aztek - lots of people had to sign off on that before they made it - did no one look at the clay model and say: "back to the drawing board"?

Ha! I did hear that when they were designing the Aztec, some higher-up said that he didn't want to hear any negativity about the project, or something like that.

Yes, painting it black and looking at a very small picture of is does help, a bit.

And yet they somehow sell more than 35,000 a year...

Did you see my tag?

Might just get over $30k...

I think I read the same thing somewhere - someone has a vision, wants to see it fulfilled, and is blinded. Like me, they need a new glasses prescription.

Ha just caught that, nice. Interested to see how it will turn out.

I remember a call to Car Talk, something a mechanic didn't notice or hear, and Ray remarked that he was not only hard of hearing, he was hard of seeing. With a few tweaks it could have been a decent crossover. At least Walter White got to drive a Chrysler 300 HEMI (SPOILER ALERT) before he died.

Did you ever notice that, at night when you see a Juke coming at you, its headlights look very similar in shape and configuration to the headlights of a VW Beetle?

Can't say I have...

the RS is awd and cvt or fwd and manual. They screwed that up big time.

....That's disappointing

Only to $23k... It's a steal at $25k, I think.

I'm gonna guess last minute bidding is gonna push it up to high 20s, but my original guess seems a little unrealistic now. I agree though, it does seem like a steal. Can't wait until I've got enough cash to bid on these auctions myself. BaT's Under $20k category has been a jumping off point for many dreams of mine.

There's a heavily modified RX-7 with a built engine for sale in my town for $15k. The want is strong with that one...
