why would you post his net worth? what does that have to do with anything?

Looks like a solid “if you want one, this is probably the one you want” example, but there are things I want more for that kind of money than a 90s econobox with a very modest amount of engine and an automatic. It seems priced at the high end of what these sell for when they occasionally come up on the market, which

Being a passenger on “low-cost airlines flying long-haul routes” (per the article) sounds like it should get you comp time in purgatory for some sins big enough to be really fun.

It’s biologically quite possible, though for obvious good reasons not sociologically customary in the US, for someone born when Bill Clinton first got elected (31 years ago) to be a grandparent.

Most news articles don’t seem to mention this important distinction, but the DoJ does:

He’ll get out soon, but will then be an ex-con. This isn’t the handicap for a YOLO lifestyle tuber that it would be for those of us dependent on square jobs, but he will have to explain at awkward moments from here on out that he did something spectacularly dumb, escaped most of the potential physical and legal consequ

5) Cell Phone.

4) for just one second, gave less than his full attention to a car designed to respond to inputs quickly and be capable of jaw dropping performance?

Only if you’re really, really into what they did and sold on how well they did it. Hagerty thinks that the asking price should fetch a show-contender unmolested P1800 (that doesn’t have a dirty bootprint and an old shop rag on the carpet and a breakaway fuel filter dangling by two rubber hoses where it’s begging to

Hot take: Worth three grand as a driveable conversation piece, even saddled with the optional automatic. GM sold a gadzillion J-bodies, and they got people around. The main problem is that they weren’t plausible Cadillacs—and that nameplate came at a four grand premium, back when that was real money, over a high trim

Yeah... It might be easy to get back on the road, or a major project needing specialized expertise. Its status (laid up 10 years, partly disassembled) and age and mileage add up to many known unknowns and unknown unknowns. At least the seller is candid about this (inherited car, and perhaps the gearhead gene skipped a

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.
