Window tinting suspected to be too dark. It wasn’t. It actually was a fishing expedition. I was headed south on I-75 into Florida when a local police in a black combat uniform pulled my brother and I over for tint violation. What they were looking for were drugs. They were looking really hard into the car trying to

I never got why they didn’t bring back the Vista Cruiser name for that one. Olds and Buick got models with the window on top. Chevy had to be happy with a solid roof. My mom owned two Roadmaster wagons, a 1991 and a 1996. The 1991 was a weakling with the 305 engine, but it had great range. I once drove it 600 miles

That 57 Chevy on the road then was newer than a 1996 Impala SS would be today. Makes you think, huh?

Loved seeing the old cars. That black over gold 1970 Sedan DeVille? I had that car (well not THAT car, but one like it) in college. The later DeVille in the clip was just like my moms and the red Ford Country Squire wagon was just like my next door neighbors’ car. Good times.

He scrapped 50 cars and got $100? Crap, I thought I got screwed when Pull-a-Part gave me $160 for my 2000 Windstar.

Sounds like the same stuff that ham radio guys talk about. When I was a kid, I had a scanner and I’d listen to the “2-meter” repeaters. The radio was full of guys who did things like route deliveries and sales and the like who were in their vehicles all day. They could rag chew for hours about any subject.

Serious question. Is it legal to flat tow an off-road vehicle? This thing being really close to a “real” car, seems you could put a tow bar on it and get it to where you want and take off from there.

The White Van? Sounds something like David Duke would drive.

But what if you don’t want to be around those people?

2005? Should’ve bought Apple stock. She’d be worth a billion or more.

It’s dated and stupid and I love it.

It’s your car. Do you love it enough to get it fixed or not? If enjoyment isn’t enough reason to fix it, then it may not be the car for you. It’s not always a dollars and cents proposition. Veterinarians couldn’t make a living if people didn’t spend more money on animals than their replacement cost.

I love seeing this bus. While it’s an ‘88 it’s build is nearly identical to the ‘70s buses we road to high school. I mostly remember that little red button on the shifter. (I think its for a dual speed rear end). Our driver, Mr. King, was a heck of a driver. There was a a big ass hill on the way to school and Mr. King

Hi. I’m from the Society for the Preservation of Space. I want to object to the wanton littering of our pristine cosmos by Elon Musk. He needs to cease his dumping of derelict land vehicles into space. He sets a bad example for our youth, who may follow his example and leave their own old, nonworking vehicles in orbit

I’m sure you’re right. As I recall Rowan Atkinson wrecked his twice (?) and drove the crap out of it and still sold it for millions. (I wondered if McLaren had gotten around to developing a modern diagnostic computer...I had read about the Compaq/Conditional Access card rig a few years back.) Thanks.

Doesn’t this thing need some sort of long-ago obsolete Compaq laptop PC with a proprietary interface to talk to the on board system to be serviced?

Check out the hydraulic drive to the wheels. There’s one solution to get ground clearance (or in this case, crop clearance).

It seems that in NY, there is a joyriding law aka. “Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle” that is Class A misdemeanor. Perhaps the thieves are pinning their hopes on claiming to be merely joyriding and not felony theft if caught.

This concept in law seems to stem from the idiotic old English concept of deodands where an inanimate object could be found to be have caused death and must be given up to God, or in his stead, to the king. Unfortunately, the US Supreme Court even has upheld these moronic practices in the form of forfeiture laws. In

Good for you. Don’t let these pinheads with their degrees in playing around with debt crap all over you. You made a wise decision NOT buying a brand new car as many broke Americans do. You paid it off, and are not interested in going into debt again.
