I assume that USAA requires that all vehicles that they pay out on as a total loss, must go to auction. Why else would anyone try to auction a car that you will need a front-end loader to scoop up and haul off?

I was hoping that “murdered-out” died along with Rob Dyrdek’s popularity.

Then why are the snorkels facing forward? Seems if you want to keep dust out, you’d protect the intake a bit more. The current trend in desert racers is attempt to protect the inlet by having it face rearwards, or rearwards and down.

If you are doing this stuff, then you are too broke (and stupid) to be buying new cars. If you have $7,700 in negative equity and still have decent credit, then what you do is go find someone who will loan you $10,000 (HELOC, signature loan, parents). Take $7700 dollars of that, along with the car trade, and pay off…

You’d think the full faith and credit clause would apply, but who cares about the Constitution anyhow?

But that’s the condition of nearly every car that Finnegan and Freiburger road trip in. Why no love for an old Lincoln?

City nicknames are for truckers and sports announcers. Just say the god damned name of the city. To use any other name is douchey.

Fuck Me. I could’ve picked up one of these and stored it. Already got 2 two cars I haven’t driven since before 2006.

Sort of off topic, but don’t forget the Mercury Monterrey with the breezeway rear window. A preacher friend of my father owned one of these and I dearly wanted to ride in it on a rainy day with the rear window down. Alas, it was never to be.

I smell a rat. I think the 79 y.o. mum is getting an extra awesome Mothers Day present next year.

I have no problem with the charity auction idea. Some *sshole is just going flip the car anyway if they snag it at MSRP. You can’t divine the true intentions of any jerk you sell a car to (unless the jerk is named Richard Rawlings), so why not allow the market decide who gets the car?. Presumably it will be the person…

Oh. Its just a blend of Rob Dyrdek and Jackass. Gotcha.

Gee, I need to get some of that sweet Youtube vlogger money if this is what thrifty looks like.

And one more thing. If you remain seated and you are in an aisle or center seat, you will be hit in the head when the ones who jumped up first try to retrieve their bags from the overhead. If I’m standing, I can “help” them with their stuff.

It doesn’t exist everywhere, thank goodness. The need to control others escapes me.

By holding the phone horizontal, of course.

Not 80s. 92-99 Suburban. I’d recognize that interior anywhere. My best friend had a 92 Chevy C 1500 with the red interior and all black. Of course he had the 5.7 liter engine and 5-speed manual transmission.

Nuclear fuel rods. France is 75% nuclear at this time.

Nanny state.

No, that is just insane. How can there be nostalgia for some nanny-state behavior control device?
