What’s up with “name checks out”? Is that like yelling “Worldstar” or something?

That thing is uglier than a bowling shoe.

This was a St. Louis-built car, not Bowling Green. And the Borg-Warner 4-speeds were T-10s/Super T-10s. “M21 and M22" are Muncie 4-speed codes, for transmissions built at the GM-owned Chevrolet MTM (Manual Transmissions Muncie) plant. Those were out of production around 1975. GM went back to Borg-Warner sourced or…

ShandaLear?

:47 in the video he was trying to make it a “woodie”.

Never take tire advice from somebody that calls tread “thread”.

At least it didn’t take 50 clicks to read.

Thank you for not using the ridiculous phrase “drive stick” (although “drive manual” is almost as bad). I don’t know when that began but I bet it was started by somebody that can’t even drive a manual transmission car. I read broken English like that and I hear a Middle-Eastern accent in my head. Example: “You teach…

1:03 clearly says “OUTSIDE” on the sidewall.

Automatic CP for all-caps and keyword spamming.

Oh, it’s a true story, a few of the previous employees got hired by the new owners and had stories to tell. I forgot one of the good parts, and this relates to the floorplan financing: When they knew than an auditor was coming (Equifax used to do this) to make sure the inventory was on the up and up, they would call…

I had a mental picture of Shrake and Jenkins from the John Sandford books when I read the story. 

Yeah, I just told a similar story up there ^ before I saw your post. It affects a lot of innocent people when this happens.

This happens more often than people think. I worked at a GM dealership that took over the franchise from a family of fools that did this same Ponzi thing. The dealer’s son absconded with a new ‘vette right before the bank chained the doors. It was on the showroom floor and he went like a bat out of hell through the…

“Little Soul, what do you want to be when you’re older?”

The seller never used the word “invested”. Emslie did.

I bought a wrecked ‘82 a few years ago (deer collision) from a co-worker’s girlfriend for $400 and parted it out for almost $5000. I scattered it out all over the world; the engine went to Belarus, the 3rd member went to Luxembourg, and the transmission went to Australia. Enthusiasts were paying crazy prices and…

From Wikipedia: “The Century derived its name from the 100th birthday of Sakichi Toyoda (born 14 February 1867), the founder of Toyota Industries.”

She probably hasn’t aged much. Unless she picked up a meth habit, that is.

That “New Buick” campaign ad is from 2015.
