“the chances Trump quits for Pence to pardon him are probably very close to 0.” I don’t think you can pardon your coconspirators.

But this is Brazil.

Meanwhile, we have things like my friend’s F-150 where when the center armrest is deployed it covers the seat belt latch.

Is it an illuminated side marker just a reflector?

My father felt the same about cars. But he also believed it was important to be modest about one’s possessions, not showy. So he always had the most boring and ugly cars.

Hmmmmm... When was I NOT a car enthusiast? The first cars to really grab my attention were the big-finned beasts of 1957. I would’ve been five years old. I started assembling model cars when I was seven. (Thank you, best friend Timmy for that addiction.) 

Now $42.99, perhaps thanks to this video.

It looks Pacer-ish.

Whenever I see a Smart it reminds me of the first time I ever saw them, in Paris, years before they were available in the US. The Smart might be history, but, “We’ll always have Paris.”

Oregon voters also approved medically-supervised shrooms.

Cross link this to the Golf R story. More complex electronics in a VW?

If through some bit of insanely unlikely luck this Z had fallen into my hands, I would proceed to shock and piss off those who believe I should keep it in its factory fresh, 350 mile condition. The first thing I’d do after cleaning it up would be to swap in the bumpers and associated body bits from a 240. I hate the 5…

If a record falls in the desert, and no independent body is there to verify it, did it happen?

Hmmm, I wonder if it can be lifted enough to drive desert two-tracks and up fire roads in the mountains.

They had to save on bumpers so they could do the 2-tone paint thing.

“Many people’s jobs are hanging on by a thread, if at all. Owning a smartphone is non-negotiable...” If your job is in danger, you don’t want to be spending big bucks on a new phone. Keep the one you have or buy a $50 prepaid phone until things recover for you.

Welcome to the tribe.

All van makers offer chassis-cab versions for RVs and box trucks.

Those of us who live fulltime in vans keep debating the pros and cons of the two extension methods. Chevy/GMC = better stability and weight distribution, less likely to drag tail offroad. Ford/Dodge = smaller turning radius and less likely to high-center offroad. It’s academic to me since my Express is standard length.

The orange-y red Porsche 911E I had when I was in my early 30s. Third hand, $6,000. The E wasn’t the hot one, but it was my first non-boring car and proof I wasn’t the failure my parents feared I was. The wheels were stolen once and the whole car was stolen, but recovered (before I knew it was gone) with a popped…
