NOPE.

I’m expected to believe that this guy spent all this time, money and effort to build his dream Cutlass, only to stop when he ran out of money to buy a charge pipe and tune it?

I noticed that as well, not from the description, but from the picture of the engine bay where there’s not even an air cleaner between the engine intake and the world.


So, all of this time and money spent on the car, which appears to have been finished in 2014, and ran out of money with just a charge pipe left to go?…

Looks like a normal Cars & Coffee to me.

I saw them at a historic race weekend at Road America. They were amazing.

We’ve spent the last few months in the desert SW and have done a lot of trail rides in our 2" lifted Jeep Liberty diesel, a vehicle roughly as capable as the lifted Renegade. There are a lot of trails that don’t need a full Rubicon-ready Wrangler and many of those prohibit unlicensed vehicles. Many of our trail rides…

The Renegade with a small lift, rock rails and some good tires is a fairly capable off-road vehicle. It’s not a wrangler, but it doesn’t get 17 MPG either.

That sort of worked on the old bridge. It was narrow enough that sometimes trucks smacked mirrors as they went past, the long cop cars of the 60's and 70's didn’t have the room to turn around.
That’s not the case with the new bridge. The Monroe County Sheriff or the State Patrol can bang a U-turn and be on your butt…

I haven’t driven a trailhawk, but I’ve wheeled with some folks that own one. I was impressed, but I have to say that with the limited wheel articulation of the Cherokee ( probably helps the sporty on-road handling ) the rear locker is a MUST HAVE in rocky terrain.

Why wouldn’t the penguins just wait for the water to start getting higher and then swim to the ark?
I’m not saying it happened, but for a penguin, that seems like the way to do it.

My RV can do that....

Correction - apparently the cars Enterprise rents for Uber duty are “Toyota Corolla or similar”, so there goes my argument that this would be for a full-size or large car versus the suggested Prius. Sorry for the mistake.

$.2765 for a 15 year old BMW vs. about $.47 for a nearly new full size car with insurance and maintenance included isn’t exactly an apples to apples comparison.

I’m not surprised that you can better those costs with an already depreciated 15 year old car. Not all cars are that inexpensive to run and a lot of those…

If it’s how you make money, you don’t defer the maintenance. National average is $. 58 a mile (with gas) per the AAA.

Actually, this sounds like a pretty good deal to me, certainly not the ripoff the article makes it out to be. Yes, it might be possible to save a few bucks running your own car, but owning your own car that you put 500 miles a week on isn’t cheap.

Yeah, but you’re not going to work just 10.9 hours and stop. You’re going to work a full week.
Once you’ve “made your nut” and covered your costs, then the rest of a 40 hour work week is pretty much yours to keep, after taxes. Extra hours ( maybe work 50 hours a week?) only cost gas and $.25 a mile if you go over on…

I drove as a taxi driver in the mid 90’s for a few years, leasing the taxi nightly from the company. The fees varied from about $60 for an 8 hour weeknight shift in a Chevy Lumina to $200+ for a really busy 12 hour night ( New Years Eve ) in a larger vehicle like a van.
$200+ dollars for a 12 hour rental of a van…

The CB300F is a single cylinder. Probably not a really high redline ( I think about 9700RPM), but it’ll have a nice spread of torque for easy riding.
Not bad, just different. Not really my thing, but it looks like a nice bike.

This.
I’ve seen several articles on this tower and every one of them floats the same “there’s less gravity up there” idea. Yeah, technically there is, but as I understand it, it’s one percent less or so, a small enough change to be no practical difference.
Whatever other advantages this thing has, enough with the…

I got passed by a F-150 with these the other day. I guess he wanted a diesel but had to settle for adding the stacks to his daily driver.

I carry a small flashlight in my pocket almost all the time. I want:
