There may have been nudity, but I promise it wasn't sexual for anybody.

True. No matter what has happened in my car, a naked stranger washing herself is not on the list.

Now how did I know that this wouldn't be the kind of person you want to see shower in the subway? The kind of batshit crazy people who do stuff like this never are.

It's more than I'd like to pay, but I don't think you could duplicate it for that.

That's not 32,000 in the US, but 32,000 worldwide. The article only hinted at the problems SAAB has had since being broken from GM. In the last 10 years, GM had done a fairly common sense job of rationalizing mainstream SAAB models as similar to Opel cars, and built the Europe-only Cadillac BLS alongside SAABs on…

You knew what I meant. Titles notwithstanding, the leadership of North Korea is obviously determined by the familial relationship through Kim Jong-Il and Kim Il-Sung. Without revolution, it seems unlikely that anyone outside of the Kim family is going to rule North Korea. Familial dynasty, male heir, and total…

Is Kim Jong-Il the "king" of the Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea?

Get me a jury and show me how you can say "The matrix has been passed to the new leader," and I'll go down on you.

I love HP and I've bought their stuff for years, but please have them work on paper handling. My last two HP printers have gotten where they wouldn't reliably feed anymore, even after I took them apart and cleaned everything I could get to. The most recent one will even leave what look like burnout tire marks on the…

For this category of car, that's not only a nice price, but almost into "why the hell not" territory. The high-ish mileage for the year probably means highway miles. So long as everything's working well, let the good times rumble.

@Jude Butler: And what if Packard had bought Hydra-Matics instead of developing Ultramatic? The money spent developing Ultramatic could've been spent on fixing other outdated problems with the car itself. At that time, there was no shame in buying automatics from other manufacturers if they were good. Even Lincoln…

The age, mileage, and date of conversion would suggest to me that it's hardly been driven since the conversion. It probably doesn't drive very well, either. It'd be a cute rolling hot tub at races, but that's about it.

It was probably a fine family vehicle, but there was a gas crisis about that time (just like today), and it did use nearly twice as much gas as a Fairmont or Cutlass Supreme. That would've been a hard sell even with $99 automatic.

@tonyola: That platform was designed for LHD all along. It's already sold in LHD in Korea, China, and the Middle East. It's not building them that's the expensive part, but getting their American work visa that makes it unprofitable without volume.

@token_liberal: They have floor shifts and carpet. They're not leathered and loaded, but they're not immediately IDed as a police car, either.

If it's not available for public consumption as a 2012, I'd be shocked. For the sake of nostalgia, the higher-trim model should be the Caprice Classic.

@The Honey Badger: I was going to post that, too. Whether she beat 10 minutes or not, that was just some scary good driving and amazing lap times for a bad vehicle.

He drove badly sober, but managed to not kill anybody up to that point. Bad driver + 2x the legal limit = fatal crash. I'd say that probably holds true for any jackass, not just the ones from the TV show.

@philaDLJ: Even though I've photographed Pleiades and I knew that's where Subaru's logo came from, I never really thought about how inaccurately they portray it. Rotate it any direction you like and the big star doesn't really fall up and to the left of five smaller ones.

Has FU itself become so symbolic that even the notoriously linguistic nationalists in France will use it? That's amazing.
