Probably. It needs tires... But there's always used.

We used CBA all the time. I can concur on the recommendation.

Hell, I've put 40,000 miles on my 2012 Passat in a year. And I put 185,000 on a '97 Jetta in just over 4 years. The last time I change the pads on Jetta was back at 240,000 and it's at 300,000 now.

If I don't own the ECU software, does <automaker> pick up the tab when I don't make the loan payment? I didn't think so. I own it.

Oh. I'm sure there was a US sub somewhere nearby too. ;-)

You want one cruiser nearby for air defence coverage and to play air traffic controller for any “foot wet” aircraft. The carrier handles take offs and landings, but you really want the guys who might shoot down an aircraft to be the ones controlling the airspace.

Not always. We often were the only dedicated resource nearby. Oh sure the battle group was "around". But right there, day in and day out? It was one (visible) cruiser.

I want more!

I'd love to get another Merkur. But my wife (the then girlfriend) keeps saying no to the train wrecks I keep finding...

I cook regular (russet or new) potatoes this way already. I can vouch for their wonderful flavor!

Well I didn't mention the roughly 300,000 miles on it. (Only because I don't know the exact number since the speedometer, tach and odometer haven't worked / been visible since somewhere in the high 270,000's.)

I'll donate a '97 Jetta...

Some of the rifles do 286 damage. I like to pick them up from Rais' men to sell.

The second story is pure gold.

Not with your mom and girlfriend in the car when it's discovered. Along with some unusual brownish stains on the back seat...

Back when the kids were little we had a '98 Pontiac Transport Montana. It was the last year of the Transport name, but the first year of that body style and GM's first year of power sliding doors. Which means that GM didn't know how to properly do power sliding doors.

At least you didn't end up with a brown paper bag shoved under the seat with the girls panties...

Who buy’s the Buick LaCrosse? Rental cars companies.

I hated those round vents...
