The market in general seems to share your uncertainty about the value proposition. Despite being a nice looking car in a metro area of roughly 8 million, with none of the indications you sometimes see in these ads that the seller is a kind of a lot, it has languished on Craigslist for a month. Why? Well, of the big…

Every night some self-appointed border guards neither get in a firefight with the real thing nor plug an innocent bystander is a blessing, and we can’t expect that to last forever.

the manager “also did not check, through the computer, if all the projections had already been closed” (no idea what that means).

As you get further away, the amplitude changes remain in the same proportion, so the receiver doesn’t see a change in the information, just in loudness.

A good tire shop does most of that. Seems like the least we can expect on jetliners. The questions are twofold:

I don’t know the technology behind AM radio, but I know it has been around since the 1910s or something

Also, gas prices are cheap in the US (for now...) while EVs are still perceived as at least a sorta-premium product. Meanwhile, when lithium was perceived as being too scarce, everybody and their cousin started looking for it, and a lot of them succeeded. It’ll even out.

I’m always amazed that those local stations are hanging in there as well as they do. In my wife’s home town (population back up over 10,000 but not by much), the only radio station, both AM and FM, folded a few years ago. The original owners had passed away, the general manager wanted to retire, and they couldn’t find…

Not to mention that back when these laws were passed, stealing a horse could be depriving someone of a capital asset (I’ll take, apologies in advance, a horseback guess that in the late 19th Century US it was a hundred-dollar animal or more—and a dollar a day was a good wage for, say a farm laborer); a tool needed to…

In other news, there’s a thief out there who knows how to drive a horse and buggy. I have never performed this once commonplace task and probably never will.

Biggest groaner of the day, according to the latest Gallop Poll.

I guess even industry pros can make this sort of mistake:

And yogurt.

If I had the garage space and disposable income, this would sorely test my resolve to be done with Jaguars, even at the high-for-year-and-model ask. With any car that age, you’re buying the ownership history of the particular machine as well as make/model/year, and pending diligent and expert PPI, this one reads as…

That, and each played a major role in a tentpole cop show on archrival basic-cable networks in roughly the same timeframe...

A sturdy craft... and a lucky one, with all those opportunities for parts aft of the blowout to get damaged. Pilots with good hands, cool heads, and quite a bit of experience helped too, of course.

The things that matter include not just how much of the overall fleet is EVs, but where they are. Cities (some more than others due to geography and weather) are pollution traps, as well as centers of population in an increasingly urbanized world, so that’s where we get the bang for the buck on cutting both pollution…

“If you see something, say something.”

Your subconscious may have been trying to remind you that an ‘82 appeared in these pages for $5900 fairly recently.  It got a solid NP, but transposing those numbers makes it a harder sell.

The ad also states that a huge lot of parts is also available for purchase. At this asking price, just throwing them into the deal might help move the car. The buyer will probably need them sooner or later anyway. Otherwise, mild ND at the price, I think, though someone with a real jones for these cars (and that’s the…
