“Chevy conversion” is meaningless without a reference or photos of whatever was converted. Lazy seller = lazy maintainer = trouble top to bottom. ND at anything over five hundred bucks.

Cost, lack of sufficient infrastructure, inability to repair it myself, and range/“refueling time for the objective reasons. No manual option, no way to buy one without interior screens, and I dislike their appearance for the subjective ones. I’ve been driving manuals for so long that being required to “drive” a vehic

Might want to take a look at a 2014-2016 CX-5 Sport. Not too hard to find near 100k miles in that price range and ticks most of the boxes, other than maybe the “good in snow” since they’re FWD instead of AWD.

It’s not just Boomers, it’s a lot of younger Founding-Father-Constitutional-Originalist wackos as well. Taking on the stylistic and linguistic particulars of documents from the mid-1700s is their form of worship, apparently.

Don’t see a lot of shouts for the ‘68 with Chevelles and El Caminos—usually it’s the ‘69 or the ‘70, sometimes the ‘67 or ‘65.

If I were being paid $500 an hour to argue over what contract terminology actually meant, my contracts would be as difficult to read and impenetrable as I could make them.

Well, this isn’t the solution I was hoping for, and it’s far more expensive than it’s worth, so Netflix’s play to get three new subscribers is going to end up losing them one permanently. If their “extra login” had been $2-3 a month each I’d have taken it. Eight bucks a month is basically another subscription. Bye

1973 MG Midget—not this one, but it looked exactly like it. Also the car that introduced me to wrenching, and as I recall I spent far more time on the latter than the former. To this day I can still remember how the interior smelled—not nasty, but that specific combination of plastic and leather and metal that

Nice to see Rudy’s lawyers are as good as he is. Ted here insisting on calling hearsay, allegations, and “claims” facts is just about par for the course.

If that initial 2 were a 1 this might be worth a second look, but 22 large for one of the worst engines GM ever produced wheezing along in this wallowing forgettable-design-and-unfortunate-choices brick? Nah.

It’s in the alt-image text for https://xkcd.com/1357/:

One zero too many on the price. Also, anyone got the number of the seller’s dealer? They’re clearly selling the good stuff.

Toyota Tercel. Bought the base model (no a/c, no radio, no power anything, not even a passenger-side rearview) for MSRP in late ‘91, which was around 7 grand at the time—comes out to ~$15k today. Most reliable, dependable, and predictable vehicle I’ve ever owned. When it came to amenities and frills, there were none,

It’s just another example of the way they misuse language to appeal to the red-meat base who are nearly totally devoid of critical-thinking or second-order-logic skills. The syntax carries the baseline assumption that the speaker is correct, always knows what the right answer is, and never has to explain it or justify

The GRX from Speed Racer—a car so fast you actually had to be jacked up on meth to be able to handle it. Sweet engine note, too.

Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug. It’s one of the more expensive ones, too, come to think of it.

The last (and final) time I went on a cruise with my family, I found $250 in casino chips in a chair that I was sitting in. That’s pretty lucky, right? Maybe I could have the same luck with a GranTurismo.

If it weren’t a convertible I would be, but “loaded convertible in AZ with low miles” screams “weekend car.” Given the issues this era’s Mitsus frequently had with clearcoat peeling and the shape this one’s paint is in, along with the clearness of the lenses (southern sun is brutal on that plastic) I’d wager it spent

It’s not a fixed number. The horsepower of the vehicle isn’t the issue, it’s the ability of the driver to handle it. I’ve known people who could (and did) handle 600hp in the rain at night with zero issues, and I’ve known people who wrapped 95hp cars around trees in clear/dry/bright.

Incredibly, 24 percent of the survey’s respondents claim to own a car with a manual transmission. Compare that with car-sales data from CarMax: The used-car retailer says that in 2020, only 2.4 percent of the vehicles it sold were equipped with a manual transmission, compared to 26.8 percent in 1995.
