CP for all the friggin trash in the photos.

Was onboard until... outback?

Alot of these comments amount to “Why bother?” If that’s where we are now, you’ve failed to grasp the point of Jalopnik.

Did you just take a blow to the head? Are you okay, buddy?

I need to get to a doctor right away.

As an example: He’s just been straight up lying to coal workers. Telling them that he’s going to bring back the industry, save their jobs and expand the market for it.

“Trump is the first latest politician in a generation the Republican party to genuinely take an project the illusion of interest in the well-being of rust-belt blue collar workers for his own benefit. Whether he was successful or not doesn’t matter because he duped this demographic enough to get elected.”

Congratulations, you’ve bought the most tired, transparently false trope in modern American politics.

Trump is the first politician in a generation to genuinely take an interest in the well-being of rust-belt blue collar workers. Whether he was successful or not doesn’t matter.

So you’re saying Trump deserves a participation trophy.

My 2008 RRS with 180k on the clock has been in the shop twice in the last 5 years. Once to recharge the AC and once for an alternator. One of the most reliable cars I’ve ever had. 

Under 3k and runs? I know it is a Rover and can be problematic (understatement). But even if you get a winter out of it the price is good.

A 10-second 0-60 time doesn’t seem like much in 2019, but that’s a problem with today’s thinking, not yesterday’s hardware.

I’d always pick less house/short commute than more house/long commute.

“At the time I owned 2 cars and 2 boats and couldn’t wrench or tinker on any of them”

I think “them city types” understand this just fine. But what it is is not simply a value-free difference in lifestyle, it’s a really selfish choice with major ramifications for the environment. Like, I think it’s insane to drive 55 miles to and from work every day, but that’s not why I think it’s a really ugly

NP. Quick check online reveals two surprises: there are a lot of these for sale out there and this one would be among the lowest priced and lowest mileage examples. The real surprise? That so many commenters don’t realize Ferraris are expensive mistresses. Just because you can’t afford it doesn’t mean it’s crack pipe.

Between that and PG paying $500 for a shop to change his fuel filter, the respect level for these “gearhead” writers is dwindling. Not everyone swaps engines and rebuilds diffs but man, you would think people who write about cars for a living could handle some extremely basic maintenance.
