Wait.

Attention all Riot employees: Now’s your chance to identify as female.

A friend had an inline 6 with over 400,000k original motor from Colorado and it looked good.

eh, the weak points on these are primarily the electrical gremlins (which come primarily with age not mileage so any ZJ will have them at this point), the auto transmissions (which of course won’t be an issue with this one), and of course rust (which also doesn’t seem to be an issue here). While it would never be…

As scrap steel alone it would probably garner about $600.00 at a junkyard. So it was well sold and well bought in my book.

Yeah, their idea of neglect is maintaining the transmission in a way that would be fine for pretty much any other car. 

(It’s worth mentioning that many ZJ diehards say the vehicle’s transmission failures are due entirely to owner neglect).

“are considered desirable in the ZJ community” -In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king.

Ah! Damn, I had this all wrong!

Good points. In my mind, the manufacturers need to ensure that they use common standards (think USB charging). Let third parties provide the service to all comers, even if the OEMs subsidize this.

Wait...are you telling me I can turn the engine off? My dad told me what his dad told him: once you turn the engine off, you can no longer drive the vehicle without taking it to the dealership, so make sure to never let it stop running.

Commissioning and analyzing research is my gig: This study is 100% bullshit.

But then you have to walk through Sears and that just makes everyone sad. 

Cool, someone who’s read the study, which means you know that

You know what’s upsetting me - all the ‘special’ spots now in the parking lot.  First it was handicapped, no problem with that.  Then a spot for the ‘employee of the month.’  Then a spot for pregnant mothers.  Then a few spots for veterans.  The latest to pop up is a few spots for ‘parents with children’.  Come on…

What about champion parkers like the asshat in the giant pickup I saw last night. Dipshit had FOUR spaces taken up because he straddled the line in two of them and then pulled far enough over into the other that he ruined them too.

Are you OK?

I take public transit and avoid the damn mall. Problem solved.

“Meek” my ass..I park far away so I get a lot of exercise, no matter what the lot looks like.

The best parking spot is in front of my computer ordering online and avoiding the shit show that is going to a brick and mortar store.
