Been a fan of the Portuguese model for years, but I always found a more pressing need for $8k.  Congratulations to you.

Same friend and I met Rob Halford again this past May. We showed him the above pic and he graciously agreed to retake it 35 years later.

...ummm....huh?

Won’t argue, but the MUSIC!!! Black Sabbath, Talking Heads, Blondie, The Cars, Stones, Hell I even love The Gap Band and The Bee Gees!

I’ll never understand the appeal of going to a golf course to watch other people play. 

Bought an ‘03 CL-S 6 speed in late 2004 for 19k. I still DD and it now has 227k on it. Clutch at 170k, 2nd timing belt change done recently, power steer pump/hoses this past weekend, original drive shafts about three months ago, and of course several brake jobs and suspension bits. Still looks very good in/out and…

They ALL do.  (Former ASW Sailor here)

That’s so preferable to reality. Well done.

I remember these guys! Whatever happened to them? After ‘..and justice for all’ I lost track of them.

Nope, I’m good thanks.

My theft deterrent device is a manual transmission.

I became a Raiduhs fan in the 70s because I was a little kid who thought Darth Vader and KISS were the coolest things ever. Growing up I remained a fan because of Lester Hayes, Howie Long, Bo Jackson, and Tim Brown. I suffered through Tom Brady’s “no fumble”, getting crushed by Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl, and the…

You should really add “dependable” to your requirements if you think making timely deliveries to your customers is important,and you should.  The answer is a first generation Ford Transit Connect van. Can be had with four seats and will easily haul several kegs. Wrap it for advertising and drive it everywhere.  

Does this mean I can join the Navy again; ‘cause that’s what I did after the 1st one came out.  I was even stationed at NAS Miramar for a few months....which is now operated by the Marines.    Well, never mind....I’m good.

I bought a 2014 Transit Connect; loved it. After 18 months I traded it in for a Cherokee because I sold my business and wanted something more occupant friendly vs cargo friendly. I routinely hauled 1200-1500lbs in the van with no issues.

Its not that I refused to buy a three pedal wagon; I refused to buy a VW product because I keep my vehicles well beyond the warranty period. 

Nice write up. I think this would be perfect for me based on my riding circumstances: 8 miles one way in usually fairly heavy traffic and the occasional early morning weekend ride where stopping for lunch would also serve as a recharge opportunity. Unfortunately for me $30k would only be an option if I lived somewhere…

Very clean and obviously well looked after, but priced too high for a weekend toy. The same money will buy a newer vehicle that’s more comfortable to DD. Nice truck for $5k 

Goddammit I was singing that in my head....and I hate that song.
