Now on Bring a Trailer. I’m the leading bidder!

Hard to tell even from CL listing, but those scratches appear to only be on passenger side. Entire right side probably needs a respray at least, if it bothers you anyway.

A lot of these vehicles are overpriced for what you get, the Hornet is a neat little car but the MSRP is at least $5K too high to start off and rapidly goes off the rails, the PHEV is just insanely priced for what you get.

Not even a little bit. It looks like a bad remake of a Jensen Interceptor and that color is fugly.

God, the modern consumer is just completely spoiled for power and efficiency when it comes to vehicles.

Huh, did not know any of that. Was just a windshield sticker as far as I knew. 

I honestly didn’t know that Hoonigan was anything other than a slogan or name. I associated it with Ken Block but that’s as far as it went for me. To discover it’s an actual business with $1.2 billion in debt blows my mind as much as those gymkhana videos. This might be part of their business problem.

You can’t charge premium prices for a car that isn’t really desirable. I mean, that view of the rear? Woof. Solid ND.

Maybe he went from bath-tub gin to bath-salt gin.

Man, if only there were some way to confirm this theory. 

This is why navy ships have what is known as a shakedown cruise. It’s a test to see what the problems might be and iron them out.

It had so much decoration and adornment—besides the fact that aesthetics were different then—for a very simple reason.

Been there - that museum is amazing, as is the preservation of the ship.

In Stockholm, there is a museum dedicated to the Vasa, which was (probably) the world’s first warship with two gun decks. It was so tall, that it was unstable. The king demanded they stop doing stability tests for fear it would sink. Then, it sank in the river on its maiden voyage. Some 300+ years later, people found…

I think it’s a great idea. Frequently I find myself approaching our wagon coming out of a store with bags in hand, wanting to open the rear driver’s side door. No big deal to hit unlock twice, but then that does defeat the safety intent of preventing others from climbing in the passenger side. Wonder why other makes…

i’d love my car to have this. I always drop my laptop bag on the driver’s side rear seat, then get in the car, instead of unlocking the whole car

My mother had the same van when I was in high school, and if I remember correctly, the unlock sequence being like this was intended for parents looking to put their children in the vehicle with one click, and not having the other side of the vehicle unlocked as a safety feature while in parking lots

There is so much pettiness/weirdness that there just has to be a deeper, probably more stupid truth to this whole mess.

Best used car ad I ever saw, in the Albuquerque Journal classifieds one morning:

Both guys seem like jackasses, but at least one of them is probably lying (maybe both, to some degree). Personally, I prefer look of the pre-rubber bumper MGs, but that black and white one with the Minilite/replica wheels in the photo above (I know, it’s not the actual car in question) is quite snazzy looking.
