Eh, I say it’s worth about half of their asking price. Might fetch 6k from the right buyer.

Feet are usually cleaner than hands. Just sayin’

Sounds like you hate Miata owners, not Miatas.

BIcycle racing has been hamstringed since 1934, when the UCI banned recumbents from competition. That’s a far greater travesty than this electric motor assist stuff.

Best looking Ferrari ever built.

they already have that, it’s called the Lottery.

...You DO realize that this nation’s Revolutionary War started because some ‘unhinged’ farmers fired upon their government, right? And that the final provocation which led to them exchanging fire was the government’s demand for them to disarm?

I’m amazed at how little damage there is to the Ferrari. I’ve honestly shrugged off more serious damage than that.

Nothing to respond to. Firearms are weapons, highly effective ones. Weapons are just as necessary to society as transportation. Contrary to popular belief, violence (or threat of violence) is VERY often the answer, even in this day and age. Don’t believe me? Stop paying your taxes and see what happens (hint: armed…

I own my home, but my city of residence has this doozy of an ordinance:

And this is why we have those obnoxious, ugly-ass yellow warning stickers about airbags on every sun visor of every car made in the past 25 years. :(

The parking brake has existed for over a century. The parking pawl of a modern automatic transmission is technically there as a redundant safety device to be used in concert with the parking brake.

...you do realize that there are cars which have the brake pedal on the right, and the throttle to the left or in the middle between brake and clutch?

There’s a reason that there’s about 137 warnings in the owner’s manual of every new car sold today, telling the owner to SET THE PARKING BRAKE BEFORE LEAVING THE VEHICLE.

The cab in my old truck is sufficiently large that the bench seat sits very high off the floor, and the steering wheel and dash is fairly high and unobtrusive. This means that even with the bench seat pulled all the way forward, there is room for a 6'2" man to sit comfortably because his knees have room to be…

Find an independent, well-regarded mechanic shop. Make an honest effort to befriend the main mechanic and his crew. If you’re bringing in your car for inspection or a weird noise or whatever, bring a box of donuts or an extra large pizza with you when you drop off the car. Make sure to bring enough for all the guys…

No, she’s not Canadian. Why, is there something special about Canadians and bench seats?

I have a ‘97 F-250HD (old body style, pre-super duty) with a straight bench seat, and I will tell you:
