He should just put up a fence and/or pave the grass area. Goes from derelict cars to off-street parking!

It’s a Ram from the late 90s/early 00s, but heavily customized.

Basically a 911, then.

There was a lightly used manual 4GC for sale in Canada a few years ago (we didn’t officially have manual 4GCs either). Wish I had saved the ad, but perhaps they’ll let you special order one? Worth a shot.

I think we’re on the same page, actually. The specific example they always gave (assuming you don’t need that cash to cover some other expenditure) was to invest it in something that has a higher yield than the interest you’d pay.

Great minds haha

I would’ve guessed it was this guy:

Username checks out.

User name checks out.

Automakers can (for instance) sell a MY20 as early as calendar year 2019, but they don’t have to. I figure skipping a model year would create more confusion than it would have been worth.

Seems the same up here in BC. Fun fact – up here, the ticket for no front plate is less than the ticket for having it on the dash, because of what can happen when you slam on the brakes!

Lenience on front plates is pretty much only a US & Canada thing... Go almost anywhere else, and not having a front plate is the same as not having a rear plate!

FCA recommends 89 for their 5.7L Hemi Rams, actually! I’d assume other models w/ the 5.7 are the same.

...a hypothetical rich person interested in the subscription could lease a 2018 530e, a 2019 440i coupe, and a 2018 X5 xDrive all at once, and still come in under the $2,000 monthly price tag for the service. Sure, insurance and maintenance and whatever would put you over the top, but you’d get all three at once.

We don’t even need new tech for that! Put better halogen bulbs in a headlamp with an actually decent reflector pattern (i.e. Euro standards, as opposed to DOT), and problem solved.

Nope. The Yugo wasn’t a licensed-built anything (unlike both the Zastava 750 and Zastava 128). Zastava used the 127 as a general starting point (along with the 128), but the end result was a completely separate car, designed and made by Zastava itself.

This Yugo’s awesome, but I gotta make a correction. Yugoslavia was never a Soviet Bloc country (and hence the Yugo is not a Soviet Bloc car): it was the only communist state that was completely neutral during the cold war. Also, Yugoslavia was on neither side of the iron curtain, being completely open to both the West…

Same with Vancouver. Merc has been absent from the auto show for a couple years now, despite the fact that Benzes are all over the place here...

Similar experience w/ my 2003 1.8T, except I was quoted $500 by the dealer for one lock actuator/module...! Did you get them fixed for <$100 each at a dealer?

People think they can flip custom-built cars?? Don’t they know mods never add to the resale value? Either way, a $120k build would be pretty extensive, at least at the place I went to.
