Willson saw the vessel listed on Craigslist in 2008, the ship was well past its prime.

Dealer is local to me and seems to sort of specialize in older cars that aren't that special, leaning heavily into water cooled VWs.  Often has a little bit of humor or commentary in the ad copy and is pretty straightforward about telling you what you are getting.

The definition of ‘sunk costs’.

Shame. Beautiful and historic ship. Shame about the environment too. Seems like a bum move from the former owner... 

For a clean anything, $2500 is pretty reasonable. Unless there’s someone incredibly nostalgic for a Corsica (which, absolutely possible, because they were everywhere), hopefully this ends up as part of a picture car fleet - we’re due for more 90's period pieces, and this is very era correct.

We all (Gen Xers) all learned to drive on hand-me-down cars that were dull as a butter knife and barely offered more than a 2-speaker stereo and power windows if you were lucky, and I think this is were we learned some of our resourcefulness and humility. I this this is a great car for a new driver. Or, buy it to take…

Agreed. I would seriously hope there aren’t 250,000 people in that area who want to roll coal.

Rudol has to pay another $7 million in civil penalties ontop of the $2 million fine.

ND at $798.50. Asking almost $8K with the convertible top in that shape is nuts.   Also, what’s up with the missing window crank handles?

“whatever psychological problems are driving this behavior”

Where the hell are his parents, and why isn’t he in school/at home under lockdown?

“but their efforts are severely hampered by the fact he’s too young to be arrested or jailed for most nonviolent offenses under the state’s juvenile justice laws.”

Abandoning any pretense of caring about the climate was just part of Musk’s deal with the far-right devil he worships. After all, he runs an AI and robotics company, it’s not like he runs a car company or anything, right? He doesn’t even plan to be on this planet much longer (lucky for the rest of us).

Musk never cared.  He was marketing his product.  Money and power don't change you, they make you more of what you already were.

1st: This has been the funniest, saddest, longest heel turn in the history of professional wrestling.

As a side note, I would love to drive that blue Mercury in the lead photo.

Or, when it went in for the fuel pump, the shop gave him a list of items it would need shortly and he figured better get out while the getting is good. Smacks a bit of pricing to recover his repair costs. To me this is a high 5k, low 6k car at best.

Not in CA but we’ve had multiple incidents at local ones with shootings and accidents, they have gone from being a concerning nuisance to an actualized menace. Hard clamp downs seem to be the only remedy that works, bust them up, impound cars, and file charges, it has helped some here but the police are so…

That ad has more red flags than a Chinese military parade.

Parenthood  Motherhood is increasingly becoming mandated by various state governments as a form of twisted punishment. What makes you think the same governments would pay for parenting classes?
