When I think “pickers” I just assume “finger up the nose looking for gold.”

It’s the Discovery, Inc. media company. They’ve sucked the meaning out of nearly every educational show they can get their hands on: Discovery Channel, Science Channel, Animal Planet, TLC (The Learning Channel), Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel.

And the original home show, This Old House. 

I never cared for either of these guys or their show. They both come off as arrogant vultures and it’s not surprising they’re both sniping at each other.

One funny thing about PBS is that it aired what some have called the first reality show, which was a show called An American Family that aired on PBS for 12 episodes in 1971.

American Fight Pickers, amirite?

Ever notice that the cable “education” channels that were touted as a market-driven replacement for PBS like History, Discovery, TLC. etc. have all turned in to homes for crappy reality shows, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience? I guess that pays better than boring old facts and science. 

My hunch for the 3rd door being on the driver’s side was from the number of people who never use the back seat for anything other than a storage shelf, if you have stuff you want to put back there that is not people, you would like to not have to walk around the car to easily put that stuff in and take it out. 

Make sure it is given a thorough checkout by a shop, but if it checks out then this is an NP all day long. Especially in this economy. If anything, it is priced a little cheap.

You’re not wrong, but damn this is sad. This should be a $1200 car, max, and really more like $1k. As many as 3 years ago that would have been the case. But in today’s market? They’ll probably get full price. 

Also, cheap to keep running and generally reliable? This is the perfect car for someone who needs basic transportation on the cheap and can’t afford big repair bills or regular fill ups.

$3000 for a running, manual transmission car with a kinda neat third door and a well kept interior?

Hey there, fellow Columbian here. I was at the University urgent care on Providence just this afternoon because I got treated for what looks like is going to be an annual thing — a brown recluse bite. Anyway I was sitting there in the reception area waiting for my ride to pick me up for about a half an hour when at…

I live a little over an hour away—in Columbia, Missouri, a blue oasis in a sea of red between St. Louis and Kansas City. I can tell you first hand that if you’re awarding Lake of the Ozarks “America’s Hellhole Of The Season”, you can go ahead and make that award out to the entire state. Everything the Politico piece…

@Jason - you are missing one critical problem - when you open the capsule door, Wally Funk will climb out and hand you your ass.

Affordable Forbidden Fruit? It’s simple . I just want a wagon version of my car, in Blue

But they don’t have infinite leg room.

I don’t see the problem. Miatas have infinite headroom. 

The Miata.

I’m gonna admit it, controversial statement here, but I wanna roll coal.
