In case you’re looking for a new ride, know that for anywhere between $300 and $3,000 WMATA is selling your dream vehicle. No, they aren’t selling old Red Line Metro cars, but Flexible buses circa 1986 and 1987.

Not one to be limited to buses, WMATA is also auctioning off other surplus goods like railroad ties and unused subway maps that, according to the website, are “suitable for framing.” It’s nice to see that old supplies aren’t going to waste just sitting in a warehouse, but instead turning some sort of profit for the cash-strapped transit agency.

We’re wondering what kind of magic MTV’s Pimp My Ride could work on one of these gems. We’re thinking plasma screens, disco balls, leather couches, and shag carpeting. And wouldn’t it be fetch if the H2 limos on 18th Street during the weekend were replaced with a Flexible or two? We’re also thinking that it might behoove the folks at Ragin’ Metro Party Bus, owners of the striped zebra rides that go around town, to try and score a Flexible. Let the bidding begin!

Snaps to Metblogs for bringing this fine, fine auction to our attention.
