That’s what I thought, I’d imagine there are a few denizens under those overpasses.

This. The “probably double-clutches” comments are coming from people that obviously don’t drive manual transmission-equipped vehicles (I refuse to use the ridiculous term “drive stick”).

Yes, known as “pot metal”

Does anybody really give a fuck about OJ anymore? He’s just another crashed and burned athlete and they are a dime a dozen. I’m old enough to have seen him play live when he was in his prime so I’ve seen his entire rise and fall; to me he’s just a bad example, not a revered cultural icon.

Yeah, and he’s comparing trucks 5-7 years older than this one, (this one is actually a 2004 “heritage” model, not an ‘01 which makes me suspicious of the ad in the first place) way more miles, and one of them has the Triton with it’s assorted bag of problems. Apples and oranges.

Uh, this is a 2004. Built 01/04, and the VIN confirms it.

I don’t think I have ever seen a picture of Mitch McConnell where he doesn’t look like one of those guys that hang around a playground while wearing a raincoat.

Carry a garrote. Problem solved, problem staying solved.

Once that clear coat is gone, your car and its exposed sheet metal is at a greater risk for rust, which can result in thousands of dollars of body work down the road.

Is the seller counting reverse as a “speed”? Rob has it right,this car comes with a 4-speed auto, an A43D.

There are JDM transmissions available for $300-500. 

We had manual transmissions in some of the driver’s education cars when I took it. The simulators were “three on the tree” manuals too; they had ‘60's Ford Galaxy instrument clusters. 

Am I the only one to notice that the CL ad says it’s a 1994, not a “1992"?

For 18 large he could at least tape the wirenuts.

Or you could just install the originals that the owner says come with the Jeep.

It’s not really a “one-off”, people have been building these for YEARS. I first saw one at a car show back in the late seventies (in Indianapolis, as a matter of fact). Google GTO station wagon, there are dozens of examples.

Asshole dealer that lists in the “by owner” section, and has “email for price” on all of his website listings = automatic CP.

I’m 59. My grandfather had a GMC dealership, and I remember the first time I saw a sticker over 4 grand (probably ‘73 or ‘74, I didn’t have my DL yet) and I wondered how they would ever sell them at such an outrageous price. Man, I need a time machine.

Viewing the inventory on the seller’s website is like looking at the menu at an upscale S & M parlor.
