I was gonna say, this ain't the movie car ... that would sell for WAY more than $30k.

Your car cost more THAN that.

Sorry, pet peeve. THAN is for comparison. THEN is for chronology.

THAN (ðæn, ( unstressed ) ð?n)

— conj , — prep
1. used to introduce the second element of a comparison, the first element of which expresses difference: shorter than you ; couldn't do otherwise than love him ; he swims faster than I run
2. used after adverbs such as rather or sooner to introduce a rejected alternative in an expression of preference: rather than be imprisoned, I shall die
3. other than besides; in addition to

THEN (ð?n)

— adv
1. at that time; over that period of time
2. ( sentence modifier ) in that case; that being so: then why don't you ask her? ; if he comes, then you'll have to leave ; go on then, take it

— sentence connector
3. after that; with that: then John left the room and didn't return

— n
4. that time: before then ; from then on

— adj
5. ( prenominal ) existing, functioning, etc, at that time: the then prime minister

Your car may have cost more, but to quote Grandpa Potts about this stage-used one, "It doesn't GO, does it?!"

I'm surprised Kdogg36 isn't chastising folks for chastising folks...



" This kind of grammatical pedantry is a real pet peeve of mine, and though I usually ignore it, it's kind of fun to indulge myself every once in a while.

I shouldn't have done it in public, though.

Does it make you feel good to correct people for trivial mistakes?"

sue---I said the one up for sale "doesn't go," not yours.

It says in the description that it's not drivable.

So basically, it's a $30k oversized paperweight.

I could see a regional theatre picking it up for a production and then renting it out to other companies. That might get them back the $30K eventually.
