To compare, I've never paid more than $2000 for a car, nor have I ever owned any car newer than about 15 years old. I have to expect to do some major repairs on vehicles in that budget and age range, regardless of mileage. But I like to wrench, so it works for me!

"Never left me stranded" might be a pretty low threshold for you, but I'm poor and have to run my cars on a tight budget. My BMWs, mile for mile, are the most reliable cars I've owned. Maybe it's not that way for everyone. I only speak of my personal experience.

*has e34 with 220k miles and rolling, never left me stranded*

AAA sucks for title work in PA. They REFUSED to do a title transfer for a pickup truck ('97 F-250HD) I got from my dad (and was located) in North Carolina; I wanted to transfer the title and get a PA plate for it so I could drive it home legally. I had the seller-signed and NC-notarized title in-hand, bill of sale, as…

The Tweels made this article worthwhile.

Insurance doesn't care whether the car has a salvage title if you only want liability coverage.

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

Totally disagree, especially when you actually own the Merc, and the Merc will be faster, handle better, be more comfortable, get better mileage, and most of all, be more fun to drive.

85% off is pretty good for this monumentally cool bahn stormer, even if it might cost nearly $10,000 a year to keep it running properly if you actually drive it every day. Keep in mind that's less than a thousand dollars a month in maintenance. STILL less than it would cost in monthly payments to buy anything nearly…

Helping forelorn gearheads, building incredible customer rapport, and generating massive props from a fantastic ad campaign, all in one fell swoop.

A RHD Transit Connect just feels right for this job.

I'd say a 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo is pretty fast, for a first car.

Best Valentine gift ever.

The modularity of it all is astounding; imagine a complete refit of the ship's electronics, radar and communications hardware being completed in weeks instead of years. Costing six figures instead of eight or nine. This truly is a quantum leap forward in terms of naval vessel sustainability.

This is very cool and a highly important advance in naval technology. This will lead to far more efficient ship maintenance and operations. Might not have the flashiness of other new tech like railguns and directed energy weapons, but this is at least as important, if not moreso in the long run.

It probably takes the Iowas significantly longer to get up to speed (and slow down), owing to their very large mass.

Those props are 17 feet. To put it into perspective, the screws on an Iowa-class Battleship are 18 feet for the outer two, and 17.5 feet for the inboard two.

There are only two exceptions to this little rule. Number one: your own state laws might have something to say about a car, 25 years old or not, without safety items like seat belts and headlights. So even though you're exempt from federal laws on the subject, you still have to comply with your own state rules and…

WE ARE JALEGION

Because those who can't or are too lazy to take training courses and pass more stringent license tests, will still drive illegally and cause accidents. Look up statistics for how many existing collisions are caused by unlicensed/uninsured drivers.
