Hey Jerome, what was your Xevious score (and how long did the record stand)?

@powerpig: I'm guilty of the exact same thing in a POS '95 Escort.

@Bo Darville: No, what's going to be the eyesore is the flood of multi-million dollar condos going up in it's wake. Rebuild it.

I've read this six times and... nothing.

Aw man, that shit's down. Anyone got a mirror? And a towel?

Yep, not only can the docs do nothing about it, it's gonna hurt for a loooong time. Get the drugs. Sorry man, I feel for you.

@loucarey62: Thanks for the Tab Mix Plus tip. Very nice. I especially like that I can actually move the tab bar to the bottom without editing the [UserChrome.css] file.

I've been a big Avant fan for years (I'm using it now.)

Did they have to choose brown for the Uplander's press shot? That sealed the deal for me...

$4.25/gal this morning for regular - Ballard, WA. It's down 10 cents from a few days ago. That'll save me a whole dollar a week in the ol' Cavalier.

@Geraldo: I remember an interesting NYT article from a while back on the patent cases in East Texas...

I'd give this dude a thumbs-up and a big grin on the street. F'n cool looking if you ask me. I think there's a pretty good chance you could get AT LEAST $2800 worth of a@# in this. Since when is practicality a must on Jalopnik?

One word: ramp...

I had a '74 504 Diesel as well. It was my first car. I can attest to both it's lack of power, strange controls, and supreme comfort. Sadly, it's lousy head gasket ended up being the death of it.

A 1974 blue-green 504 Diesel, same body style as this, was my first car when I was 16. In 1987 it came in as a trade-in on a lot my dad worked at in Seattle. I bought it for $400, drove it around Seattle all summer, then drove it 1900 miles back home to Missouri.
