Schwinn went through bankruptcy restructuring many years ago (I think late 90's) and became nothing more than a brand name for box stores to sell as “higher end” than Huffy. They are not the same quality bicycles you parents remember from the 70's and 80's.

I wonder if you could get a Panhead model kit AND the Shovelhead model kit and build a Pan/Shovel like they did back in the 70's?  

Came here to point out the math on $1M/23 people/3 years, and fully 50% of the comments are all the same information. You people is smrt around here.

“The average dealership makes 50 percent of its gross profits from parts and service, so you can imagine why automakers are fighting Question 1 tooth and nail.”

I’m not sure I get the “ashamed of animation” thing from Disney, nor specifically this story. They crank out multiple animated films per year, sometimes under the Pixar banner but often enough with their own name attached.

Specifically the Berlinetta trim, I never understood what that was about.  

ND, regardless of its worth on the actual market I will never pay that for an over 30 year old minivan, turbo or otherwise.

This. I have worked around many many police departments and the saying “You’re not born till you’re sworn” is supposed to mean something, but apparently it just means you get to hide behind the shield with the rest of them rather than have a code of honor that you swear to uphold.

So what you’re saying is, the inherent girthiness of the French is why insecure American men have never liked them? I mean, the rest of you pencil-D’d fellas, not me.

Just wait till they get to the Big Rock Candy Mountain

Can I go the opposite direction? What’s the worst automotive behavior that should be a law/regulation but isn’t? Because driving at full speed with your hazard flashers on should be illegal af.

Damn, RIP Robert Paulson

This times 1000.

Despite my concern about the last “old Merc” that came across our virtual auction block here, this generation and model is worth the effort to save. A 90's model year is borderline in the “Nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes” aphorism, but early 80's? All day.  NP

Am I mis-remembering, or did the licorice dispenser have a continuous coil of licorice and a little cutter so the passenger could pull out and cut off as much as they desired? The photos appear to just have a bramble of individual twizzlers dropped in a bowl, although there is some sort of mechanism on there, perhaps…

Suddenly Jackie Chan racing a Subie GL in Cannonball Run is beginning to make sense.  There is precendent!

Motorcycles have gone the same way. I just rebuilt the forks and replaced the pegs, shifter, braker pedal as well as clutch lever and both brake master cylinders and even replaced the tach on my 97 KTM over the past couple of weeks. Wanna try that on a ‘22 bike? Good luck with cracking into the quick shifter, lean…

Welcome to Ohio.

I think we are on the same page.

Its got a great history no doubt but for that kind of money, Dusty Hill had better have farted in all four seats.
