I’d love driving or just looking at the car, but am not so sure owning one would be for me even if money were no object and I had a good specialty mechanic in the area.

767 mph

I wouldn’t call him one of our worst, but he certainly was one of the great tragic figures of the Presidency.  Weighing his domestic achievements against the highly avoidable catastrophe of Vietnam (both the escalation and the management of the war once undertaken) is a task with no real endpoint.

Maybe early in the pandemic when getting away from one’s fellow plague carriers was superimposed on the #vanlyfe influencer fad. I’ve got a hunch that even if you try to play into the “overlanding” bit with this one, it’s a bit late to the party to command sixteen-five.

We had a Cairn Terrier and she was awesome.

I’m not generally into donks, but the proportions of the CrossCabriolet are perfect for that look.

You’re quite generous toward not only that deep “sheesh!” exploration headline, but also the body of the article. I’ve always understood the default for just “carrier” to be the aircraft kind (especially in the context of WW2), and if you mean one of the other sorts (ore carriers, etc.), the other word is necessary.

Don’t forget the 48 HP.

True, but even though it’s described as a daily driver, only someone of “Columbo”-adjacent eccentricity would actually do that. The occasional setback and a perennial scavenger hunt for parts is life with a hobby car, and that’s a good way to look at anything that’s both this uncommon in the US and this old.

That would seem to be the logical order of events.

It’s been some years since I brought a vehicle into California, but I’m pretty sure you go to the DMV with smog check in hand, then do registration/title/plates.

Squinting hard at this panel, I guess she is maybe supposed to be holding onto the bottom of his seat, since it’s a tandem bicycle with a rare lack of rear handlebars.

The problem is the exhaust:

I wonder if the truck will be laid low by a hundred different mysterious electrical gremlins before the corrosion starts to show up...

Of course, if you wait until such a potent hurricane is upon you, the trees, power lines, and occasional roof in the road might slow you down some. As I’m sure you know, but am just mentioning for the record, the best use for a car in a hurricane warning is getting well out of its predicted path, or at least to a…

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:
