I don’t believe the 240z was ever sold with the 2+2 body - that started with the 260z (aka the one to avoid at all costs due to the disastrously ugly bumpers and power reduction).

But you could retrofit the close ratio 5 speed from the 2000 - I did that to my ‘71 in the mid-80's. (and somebody figured that out, stole the car, and took *ONLY* the tranny and radio.)

Incorrect as a general statement.

Sorry to be that guy: Mad Dog is General Mattis, the Secretary of Defense (also called by his troops Warrior Monk), who was the first cabinet member confirmed

Completely agree - I have no factual support establishing whether or not he struck that woman or not.

Hate to be that other guy, but just because there’s no formal conviction doesn’t mean he’s not guilty, only that he was not convicted.

But but But.... LT played for the San Diego Chargers. A team that no longer exists, in the vacuous attempt to woo LA.

And yet, some of us kept coming back - my 2000 passat (built in Germany) had a major repair issue due to the oil sludge - to the tune of an out of pocket repair exceeding 2k, which was “my fault.” (I received a refund after the settlement - another reason to keep vehicle records). It also randomly broke down on more…

Re: the E-type episode - that killed me. I loved (and still do) the E-type, but seeing a marginally shorter man drive it made me give up the dream of ever being able to drive one.

I remember the use of the adjective “husky,” but... a brand called Chubette? (Available at “stores that care”):

My gut tells me that they were stalking her on social media for reasons other than voiding the warranty.

On the fords I was looking at, you only get side-by-side maps and/or Sirius Traffic if you get the Nav option ($795, but includes 5 years of Sattelite subscription). It wasn’t a priority for me, because I haven’t actually used an infotainment nav system in the last decade, and because I was so hyped to use AA.

For me, both AA and Carplay can be summed up in one word: Meh.

Get a Mustang (S550) - American legend, and everyone has a Mustang story, so you get to give your son his (not every story is good, of course, especially for pedestrians outside of Cars and Coffee):

If you know LA, he very effectively identified the dealership by the innuendo.

In an S550 in track mode, the automatic shifts are a bit “jumpy” and the shift point is not as predictable as it should be.

This is also good for dealers willing to adapt. I bought a car two weeks ago - most dealers I was working were willing to give me “teaser” pricing to get me in the door, and one dealer I would not otherwise have considered had “no haggle” prices on their new inventory.

I’ll agree it was good (but not great)- i binged it last weekend, and it was sufficiently well acted and written that I wanted to see the next episode to see what happened. There are a few scenes that truly are great (the house party, for a couple different reasons), and more that make my pale self think.

You are missing the other difference: the MKC 2.3t is AWD only. Identically spec’d as AWD, the premium for the 2.3t is ~4k. Wheras the delta from FWD/2.0t to AWD2.3T is ~6k. (purely from the configurator, I have no clue if the 2.3t has a greater real world premium).

Yes, but they lost the cardinal way!
