No.  that is all. 

Yeah, I don’t love Defender as lifestyle accessory rather than utilitarian workhorse (although if they get cheap enough, I’m open), but “they’ve built a longer Defender and that’s bad” is a weird take.

Mine definitely was.

My first thought but I’ve been treated to several of those occasions by NJSP and its always been “obstructed windshield” for something hanging off the mirror. Usually after I was caught doing some stupid shit so I was always glad to take the minor ticket and go.

Some, of course, but it’s also possible people get pulled over and instead of an expensive speeding ticket or rolling a stop sign ticket, the cop can’t let them off with a warning so they give them the cheap license plate frame ticket instead. It does happen.

I wonder if it’s just “the police being jack-booted thugs with nothing better to do” type ticket?

I’ve been reading Jalopnik for over a decade but didn’t realize that Jonny Lieberman was a former Jalop...cool!

You mean the Mexican-built truck is kicking ass and taking names of two competitors built in Alabama, right?

Yep. Laws exist and are narrowly defined for a reason. Property taxes are generally for real estate. Plots of land that have things on them and can be transferred and bound by their location.

The only Man in Black I acknowledge:

The wheels are too big for me too.  They are simply too modern of a size for such a retro car.  Needs smaller wheels and taller rubber.

It is bonkers, and it totally shouldn’t, but I think this is one of the rare projects and specials that might actually get the money. Against all sense, reason, and sanity, I’m voting NP. With the caveat that it’ll be waiting on the shelf for a while for the right buyer, but when that buyer comes along they will go

The Pontiac V-8 was brand-specific at the time. Every division largely did their own engineering, though that started to change in the late ‘50s with frame/chassis sharing and the occasional optional engine.

Let’s just say I’d put gas in a Hummer H1 than insure 2 16 year old girls. At least I have another year and a half till my son gets his license!

I’m pretty much set to ND until further notice.  This is out of hand.

This is such a unique piece of shit, its a nice price from me.

When your broke and really want that BMW X6

When I was in my late teens/early 20s, my best friend who lived across the street had an Avanti 2. Well, it wasn’t “his” exactly. He was only child and his parents deemed it to be “his car to use”; they had own cars (535i and 911 slow).

Maybe it’s just because David shared another Brooks Stevens design this week, so it’s fresh in my head, and I’m reading too much into it, but I feel like it’s not the first time bits of that design got a little recycled.

Because it isn’t their Vibe...
