Mark Martin is NASCAR’s greatest driver to never win the championship. His stats are insane. Five times he finished second in points. Twelve times he finished in the top five in points. A super competitive guy right up until he retired, which he did several times. A class act to say the least.  

That sounds exactly correct. I wish I still had it to test that theory with, however, the engine was transplanted into an oldschool hotrod a decade ago. I always considered that a shame as the car was still fully functional.

That’s because it was an 80's “LA” series smogged 318. The Magnum series (introduced in 1992) was much better in terms of power.

You knock it off David Tracy! You’re going to make these popular and pricier for those of us who were already aware of how great they are!

I see the “lottery is for losers” contingent have shown up.

Fun update; file under “not the hero we want, but the ‘hero’ we’ve got”:

Keanu sounds like the type of guy where if you sent him yearly birthday cards, he’d never miss sending one to you.

who knew a used Jeep Wrangler was a hard car to sell?

I found that to be true on the Subaru Legacy side.  Two to three year old used models were within a few grand of a new model.  We went new for that very reason.

I got to 2nd base in the back of an 1983 Regal with Red Interior. So, seeing that kind makes me sit back in my chair and smile. I guess it all depends on perspective...

That’s the best way to describe this thing and you’re moniker is spot on.

To play devil’s advocate, for some people the thrill is in the building and not the having. Maybe he had a car worth basically scrap and decided to have some fun in the transformation but ultimately it didn’t suit his needs. I know I’ve spent countless hours dicking around on cars because I just wanted something to…

The ad is gone so to someone it was a nice price. For $5k you don’t get much anyhow in the fun department and this looked like would be on back dirt or gravel road. I still think NP for this in the day where a side by side can cost you well over $20k.

In the world of automotive toys, $55oo isn’t much ask.  This is crazy enough I’d say it’s a fair price.  Fly your freak flag high, give zero fucks, and NP. 

I don’t smear or make things up.  I’m well informed.  That’s why I never shut up about the need for President Bernie.  

Holy shit, I had no idea. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/26/kamala-harris-has-complicated-history-with-wall-street.html

Steve Mnuchin did a bunch of crimes. Instead of holding him accountable for his crimes and putting him in jail where he belongs Kamala Harris sabotaged the investigation and let him get away. Guess she only picks on poor and middle class criminals.

Sites that use “login with Facebook” or other services don’t need (shouldn’t ever possess) your password. It’s done through a token, so you login to Facebook, and Facebook hands an authorization token back to the service.

It’s gonna need one of these.

Hard to believe, but true: AMC invented the Audi Quattro wagon, and even equipped it with a silky-smooth in line 6, years before Audi thought of the idea. :-)
