I don’t see these rolling testaments to insanity often on the road but when I do I wonder for a moment why cops don’t pull them over as they have to be full of all sorts of moving violations and safety infractions, but then I think, would anyone want to deal with one of these nut jobs?

but he held a Bible up during protests and he even sold his own? What do you mean he isn’t religious?

I was once on a flight that hit rough turbulence on approach to JFK from overseas. I’m very immune to airsickness, but many others were starting to hurl into their airsick bags.  That sound and some of the smell alone was enough for me to start triggering.  I did not toss my cookies but that’s the closest I’ve ever…

While I like me a nice long roof especially in a 3 series, this seems to be one step above a base diesel on steelies. The original buyer sprung for the gas motor and that was it. The nail in the coffin is no AC.  It aint that unique for me to sweat to the oldies.  So yet again like the GTi, nice but No Dice on the…

true

I’m always baffled when you see cars like this stolen.  Yes they’re valuable but they are also rather unique so other than rich idiots from around the globe who just can’t wait to get that C1 or hot rod legally, why do this?  I mean they’re not going to magically show up on FB marketplace and nobody notice right?

When I read the title I was about to come here and call BS on the 1990 with 5doors and 16V motor since I bought a 1990 GTi new and knew that neither of those were offered in 1990, but being a JDM explains it all. That interior is mint and essentially what mine looked like (guages where radio should be and can’t…

I simply avoid those gas stations that charge extra for Credit card use. Most of the time I fill at Costco/BJ’s anyways but we have plenty of stations that don’t charge extra and are cheaper or on par with the Cash price at those other stations. While traveling, I try to avoid them but its part of the cost of my trip…

I recall that in summer of 84 my parents borrowed our neighbors Electra 225 to take me to college in PA and anytime we went over 55mph an alarm or buzzer would sound. My dad only found out from our neighbor that you could disable it but had to do it every time you started the car. God was it annoying!

I’m half Brit and on one occasion visiting my family we rented a narrow boat for a half day excursion. Was very pleasant and relaxing just lazing down the canals. We’d brought our own lunch and such and it was very enjoyable. Recently I’d gone down two rabbit holes in Youtube land:

this is very true... and like any good Alfa Owner I’m Always Looking For Another.... even now I have 4 saved in FB marketplace....

First time it happened I thought I killed the car. I grew used to it and avoided the big puddles. No fix even when I mentioned it to VW.

3-4yrs ag0 164's were dirt cheap, now they get $4-5K for meh condition.

On my 1990 GTi if you went through deep puddles or heavy rain with the right side of the car, the water would splash the belts under the car causing them to slip and thus the alternator light would come on until the water was displaced/dried up on the belt/pulley.

Just about every damn Alfa Romeo I’ve ever owned (7 total) but its a draw between my GTV6 and my Giulia Super. I actually sold the GTV6 to get the Super..... Between 1992 and 1999 I had a 3 GTV’s, the GTV6, the Super and 2 Milanos (platinum & Verde). Anyone of them in today’s market even in their DD condition would…

He does always seem to be down to earth. I read his autobiography written eons ago and impressed me with their immigrant work ethic. My dad was off the boat Italian so that always further endeared me to him. Most of my 20's my nickname for how I drove was “Mario”.

Rider of 35+ years here and live in a state that requires helmets. I’d say one way of encouraging use in states that don’t require it, is to offer discounts on insurance coverage for your bike. This of course assumes the rider (like myself) carries insurance. If you get in an accident and are found not to have been…

Came here to say essentially the same! I don’t need that $3K stereo at all. Or maybe he’s offering the system and throwing in the car as a bonus???

yikes! Makes me think of this joke I heard down south:
