Nah, let's put a stationary engine from harbor freight in a car

Lots of Truth there.  I put a Mopar small block and 5 speed in a 1940 Ford.  This added at least a hundred hours of labor building brackets, researching and sourcing parts and tinkering to get everything to fit and look as nice as I wanted vs ordering parts to either bolt in a Chevy, our at the least getting pre made

Hotrod garage did a buildup of one, on stock heads they were at around 400hp.  There are oddities, I think I've of the biggest reason it gets no attention is that the LS exists and when you start looking into it you quickly realize how much more you can get in power for so much less work, money and frustration.

A part of me would want to just get vinal of the word“Motor Caravan-Style” across each side and see if the individual checking the pictures had a sense of humor, but I know they don't

Is it legendary though? I think they were cool and ahead of their time in safety and aerodynamics but they were flatly rejected by consumers and Chrysler couldn’t revert to more conservative styling fast enough.

Yeah, a car in this condition/age/circumstances is the kind of car I would look for if I wanted to start building a race car.  It might not be too thrashed, it's cheap and everything your going to do to it is going to make it less reliable anyway.

I’m more a fan of the blue myself.

I was thinking this exact thing, plus they usually depreciate faster than their truck counterparts.  Expeditions could also fill this niche

Finish the supercharged Buick 3.8 swap into my MGB and the 3 link rear suspension I designed for it.  Should be a radical setup with a trunk mounted radiator but there is a lot to do and daughter #2 it's on the way so honestly as long as I can keep it moving forward I will consider that a win.

“Mileage isa claimed 236,000. I can see this car either making it to a million miles, or about 236,001. Not a ton of room in between.”

It’s not buying or selling something over the internet if both parties feel safe and like they got a reasonable deal from someone who entered the transaction on good faith apparently.

Lol, I must because after the first low-ball offer or two I usually have someone coming over to test drive the car and it’s gone within a week. It’s usually something fairly common and priced near the average value write good photographs, an accurate description and the caps lock is off when I write the add.

I think the correct response is to counteroffer 40 percent more than you originally asked, then wait for a angry response and say “ok, how about (original asking price)“

If you signal to the left it indicates that you are in over your head and about to come around the traffic circle backwards, which I guess is helpful

That’s what I did as well.  Buzzed it with much hesitation and then thought I should have done it sooner.

Right, if any car could have this problem and say "It's not a defect, it's a feature" it's the viper.  

I had a hotwheels of the vanilla GT1 growing up, probably my second favorite look to the Callaway C7R.

That is if they can ever catch up to the Google subsidiary Wayblow

Indeed, too bad he can make more money treating them as outside contractors while also pushing toward automation.

What kind of philanthropic pursuits does a guy from Uber have?
