Here’s the thing. That snake in the picture is a garter snake. They are the snake equivalent of a tiny, fluffy kitten. They pose literally zero potential harm. Sure, they could try to gum you with their tiny tooth-less mouths, and it might leave the equivalent of a red mark you might otherwise get by pinching your…

You’re tired of those motherfukin’ sneks on those motherfukin’ highways?

That somehow a friggin’ snake got in my car. I’m petrified of snakes.

I cannot drive over a snake in the roadway, dead or alive, without lifting up my legs off of the floorboard and wincing like I’m about to be bitten by a King Cobra. I have actually swerved to avoid driving over them.

Just think, when that does happen, it is likely that someone on that bridge would have had that fear.

Every time I’m driving and notice a questionable noise or smell, I assume it must come from my car, which is about to explode.

That every bridge I drive over is going to collapse PRECISELY as I cross it and send me plummeting in to the river below.

I drove one of these for a week.

Yeah, but then you will own a Buick.

I used to feel that way too, and I grew up surrounded by big American iron. Today, with pretty much all cars looking like damp cat turds I’ve grown to appreciate the more classical styling and the broader canvas for that styling that these old boats afford. I would not want to DD one of these, but I’d sure Cars and…

Balls! NP. A Mk IV would be perilously close to CP but a Mk III is a special beast. Real wood, leather (under those horrible covers), it’s not *too* big (merely huge), etc.

Anyways, this is DIRT CHEAP.

Price is about there for all the other ‘71's I’m finding, except those have a hell of a lot more issues than just a…

I was like “where’s the damn Lexus”

But Toyota will do.

Same thing with my 04 Jetta bought in 05. Still driving it today with 206k. Same clutch even. Take care of it and it will take care of you.

I had a 2000 Mustang V6 - the car I bought in high school. I had it for 15 years and it had over 230,000 miles when I sold it. Not one major issue, only your typical repairs for a car of that age. The point is, in the case of many modern cars, it doesn’t really matter what you buy, if you take care of it like you…

a knock knock joke would have been better

This definitely has more to do with how certain vehicles are used versus how well built they are.

One of the reasons why these vehicles have such strong percentages is that many of them are used as work vehicles and typically have longer ownership periods than your average car or crossover.

On the side of the road with head gasket issues.
