They had co-morbidities, so you can’t say they died “of” a crocodile bite but rather they died “with” a crocodile bite. /s

“It took the coolest character in the films and told us that everything that was cool about him was actually just this one week like a decade ago. That kinda deflates things”

My wife was a 911 operator in Pinellas Co Florida for a long time and she used to deal with the frustration of convincing PDs to actually dispatch their water units to inland lakes and ponds. Open water in the gulf of intercoastal? Heck they are out there all day long, but to search a 2 acre pond? Aw man I gotta find…

Well, that’s Polk Co pretty much in a nutshell.  

All that sounds great and all, but greater than every other part of this article, thank you for dropping in a solid Mole reference. Avrogado 4 life! I hope you get that as a decal for this build.

Do we know that in fact the transmission is sending power to both rear axles, or is one axle powered and the other is just a tag? Cause that’s a deal-breaker for me. 

Surprised that, along with the memorial & stick figure family decals no one mentioned putting your Instagram handle on your car.

I love this only in the fact that one of the parents in our neighborhood carpool growing up had one, in brown even, but all the other parents forbade them from using it to transport the kids in it, ya know due to the explosion thing.  

My daughter uses her Model 3 on Turo, I’d be curious to know if this has been a problem before with over-eager/fiddly renters.

A flexible light with a magnetic base. I honestly just bought one last weekend after spending years simply jamming a mini-maglite into nooks and crannies and getting frustrated when it wouldn’t stay in place or even worse holding it in my mouth and drooling lasciviously while trying to work on something. But that…

This x 1000 (literally)

Having to manually reach back to open the “Beer Window” on the back window of a pickup truck. They get used so infrequently they would get stuck in their seals so when you did want to open it, it was a full-on abdomen twist and finger grip workout and inevitably the little clasp work break after a while and you just…

This would only work if you still had enough clearance to drive over the spare without it snagging on something, either Fwd or Rev. Also, this requires the extra steps of lowering the car back down (since you jacked it up to get the tire down before you realized you were too weak to drag it out) then jacking it back…

Meanwhile in Florida we have literal Nazis marching along overpasses and hanging up LGB (misspelled, FWIW) alongside anti-semetic propaganda, swastikas and Confederate flags, in case anyone had doubts about who the anti-vaxxers are aligned with.

I love it. The digital dash on my 1985 Lebaron convertible would go dark sometimes and made for a spooky adventurous drive at night. Then it would randomly tell my door was ajar and light back up because Chrysler electronics in the 80's weren’t very good.  

Not being able to open the glove box and rear hatch tells me there is a regular key and a valet key (if AMC actually had that level of sophistication) and all the current owner has is the valet key.

I guess I just don’t understand why this is still a story, then? I was an adult when the New Beetle hit showrooms and people back then were incensed at dealer markups. Same with the PT Cruiser, retro-Thunderbird, 90's Cobra Mustangs, C8 Corvette, etc etc. Its a popular variant of a popular and long awaited model, of-ef…

I am waiting for someone to do the maths on how much money he saved on not having paid for insurance all this time. It has to be near six figures.  

My dad’s 82 Eldorado had the same fender lights, the lenses of which were so small and recessed that they regularly got gooped up with turtle wax and couldn’t be seen.  

I’ll break the mold and say Nice Price, these are awesome. Well patina’d, limited visible rust, runs and stops well, don’t care if the AC works cause the R12 would likely have to go anyway. Gotta dump those crap wheels, though.
