Price and condition are in the no-man’s-land between nice trucks and woods bashers. I’ll tip my hat to how long and well it has served, but the age and mileage and tinworm don’t lead me to pull anything near $4k out of my wallet.

Of course, if total cost of ownership is an important factor, should any Maserati (or any of the fancier Italian cars) at any price even be on the table?

these cars are worthless

Hagertys makes me think that at that price, it had better be sagging in the back from the weight of all the trophies in the trunk. A “Good” in their tough grading scheme (“Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passers-by.  Most common condition”) should be about ten grand less.  Nice car at a no-dice ask.

Good buy, Mr. Bond.

A good point. I also think that even if Tesla Karen had had standing, this would have none of the elements of the crime of trespass on a business property in California.

I saw him angrily talking on the phone, presumably to an unfortunate 9-1-1 operator.

Nicely kept and (despite reason to think the seller might be one of the various sorts of used-car hustlers who work the by-owner side of Craigslist: https://sacramento.craigslist.org/search/cta?purveyor=owner&query=%227.3.1.5.%22#search=1~gallery~0~0) not priced like the crown jewels. NP in this market if the usual…

I wonder how many times they hit him and where the rest of those 96 rounds ended up.

No small number of jobs have also been lost to this newfound ability to build things wherever it’s cheapest rather than more locally...

Oh, say, can you see that mistake?

Cargo ships grew to behemoth size to accommodate even more containers which naturally caused a spike in carbon dioxide pollution.

If it has such great investment potential, why isn’t he keeping it?

Yeah, it isn’t always just about the money—a confidential settlement, doubtless including a civilly enforceable gag order, probably looked better than getting all the dirty laundry hung out in court.

We’re all looking at the transcendent and infinite through our own little knotholes in the fence. If only we could mutually agree on that, instead of deciding that ours is the One True Knothole and the users of all the others are bad and wrong and going to hell and perhaps even need to be killed...

This brought some serious NASCAR Dad swagger to the McMansion tract back in its day, but its day was nearly a quarter century ago. Now it’s a careworn SUV that is getting into the weekend-chores knockabout (and probably expensive repairs) phase of its life, and as the cherry on top, the seller comes across as a bit…

My guess: It’s a way of superficially hiding the actual total cost of the trip from leisure travelers (and corporate travel policies) that focus narrowly on the ticket price.

If I’m not mistaken, what came off were access doors. They’d have been opened and closed any number of times on a plane that has been in operation since 2015. I guess it’s possible that the latches failed, but my beer bet would be that they just hadn’t been closed properly (which was then missed during preflight…

I can understand traveling to see the eclipse, but why would people jam into particular spots, especially big congested cities? Literally any place from Mazatlan through Montreal and up into the Maritimes in a 115-mile-wide path of totality that happens to have fair weather will provide a comparable experience.

If you’ve got an endearingly quirky high miler a human generation old and honestly think that finding the right enthusiast is the last alternative to the scrap heap, good on you! But knocking a zero off the asking price might improve your luck. A comparable unit without the high mileage and the storm clouds in the…
