Obviously not for the mainstream driver at this point (sales figures of some 14,000 in the US, about another 10,000 elsewhere, across six years suggest that it never was), but they have their enthusiasts, and here’s a decent looking “before” picture at what seems like a fair price. In a market full of people who price…

This stretch looks like a quite ordinary dirt road (one site says Hurrah Pass, which seems to not be considered that difficult or at all technical) with, obviously, an edge on one side that is most unforgiving of mistakes. About 3:26 in the video, the recovery guy suggests that the TRX driver saw traffic coming the…

I gather that statistically it is an extreme sport among extreme sports. The most dangerous corner of it is wingsuit flying launched under BASE jumping circumstances, often coupled with deliberately flying in proximity to the terrain (which can bring exposure to tricky mountain winds as well as less time and…

One of the findings of the investigation of this incident was an insufficient or nonexistent explicit briefing on who would do what and when. That would seem like something to go over beforehand, especially with wingsuit jumpers, since the whole idea is that they themselves have some significant ability to fly.

ND at anywhere near that ask (like, maybe within ten grand) unless the cargo pod on the roof is full of concours trophies, which is something the seller probably would have mentioned.

The book price on these, plus the $10k stated cost of those rims, is remarkably similar to the asking price. That, plus the uncertainties about what’s under the hood, add up to ND.

Kids can figure out on their own that people come in more than one variety, but without adult guidance, how would they learn to hate and fear the different ones?

They were a sales hit at the time.

This one’s off the charts on normal used-car pricing due to the condition and mileage. Nine feels excessive, at least if you mean nine thousand, but it might be just the thing for somebody who deals out movie cars, and I hardly ever see one at all anymore, never mind in this condition.

I hadn’t noticed it at first either, but the once keen eyes of Steve Gravelle did, the explanation seemed pretty clear.

Given the Dover, Delaware location of the car and the KC-10 in the background, safe guess that it has something to do with the Air Mobility Command. I’d be up for that museum if I weren’t most of the way toward the other side of a big country.

Only problem here is that he is asking quite a bit too much money for its age and mileage. Like, 150% of a dealer price and maybe 200% of private party.  Nice car at a no-dice price.

The Ford spokesperson’s statement leaves me scratching my head. Sounds on the face of it as though the hybrid is popular and makes its customers happy, so they’re cancelling it?

“not to encourage the criminal prosecution of Mr. Vanga, including by communicating with government officers or protesting at any conference, hearing, or trial involving Mr. Vanga.”

It’s reminiscent of the I-85 viaduct fire in Atlanta several years ago; their own Department of Transportation was storing a large amount of plastic pipe under there. Some people smoking crack* started a fire that spread to this material, which burns like sin once it gets going.

There’s no kill like overkill

The 6.4-liter V8 was something else – it got the worst gas mileage I’ve ever encountered in a vehicle.

Not that it excuses such behavior, but given his age and getting the shakes, I wonder if we should be adding “ill-managed hypoglycemia” to the list of possibilities.

...and if you’ve actually got grounds for a lawsuit (truth being an affirmative defense to libel and all that), you don’t make public threats; you keep quiet while your lawyers prepare it, then file it.

Liked ‘em new, like ‘em now. This holds the promise of being a nice example, offered at about what they go for in “Good” condition in the tough Hagerty grading system. As long as you have good luck with the dash electronics or know what to do if that stuff goes on the fritz, this looks like a very cost-effective way…
