I saw this at Oshkosh (IIRC) about 12 years ago, freaking amazing especially compared to how massive the C-5 Galaxy looked back in my high school air-show days.

Perhaps wait until after hostilities have come to an end before driving around in an enemy vehicle, though? I mean, just in case some enthusiastic defender of the homeland decides to go all Hero on your new APC while you’re just trying to limp it home.

Back in the late 00's one of my neighbors had mid 80's Monte Carlo SS that he swapped in an LS from a modern Pontiac Trans Am and it was both wicked looking and sounding.  Same basic principle on the same platform, I say do it!

No hang on, let’s roll a convoy of disruptive, armed protestors into the nation’s capitol AT THE EXACT SAME TIME as our primary military opponent on the world stage decides to start a literal world war. It’s so stupid it just has to work! /S

Got it, context on the internet being what it is I missed your point.

As the late warrior-philosopher O.W Kenobi once said, “Only Sith deal in absolutes.”

I close to that point in general but its not actually performing the work that is the problem for me, but rather in this case just knocking out a couple things here and there when I felt like getting my hands dirty wasn’t quick enough since we needed that car back in reliable service ASAP. I will say that it did…

You missed the point of my post, he’s tired of buying old crappy junkers in general, not just specifically on cL or wherever else cars are sold.  

Neutral: How is your Car?

I would also add the 2nd generation Barracuda to your esteemed list.

Nah, the red tide from all the phosphate mines dumping waste into the bay that clears out the salt from the air.

My son is finally tired of buying old crappy junkers off cL, but entering into the dealership market last fall he quickly became angered at what is available and at what cost. 

You would need a Courier to haul around all the money you would save from not buying this one.

Dude, speaking of deadlines you need to pause and re-read what you’ve written before you send it to publish. Not just spell-check, actually read it and fix the numerous errors, please.

Agreed, held as evidence for their eventual trail is fine, but seized and sold pre-trail is a dangerous precedent.  I’m as liberal as they come but this is not the way to do things.  

The only caveat I have to that, and I see this a lot unfortunately, is if the guy is in a mentor/boss/leadership role over the younger person meaning that there is a power imbalance that allows for the older person to exploit their role, even if it was in the past. Otherwise yeah the age thing isn’t a problem if all…

Henry may not be involved on a deeper level with his personal finances, often there is a “business manager’ who handles investments and, well that’s where the popular money is right now so I wouldn’t blame HC if it turns out he has some in his portfolio.

Statistically speaking, you should always select “All of the Above” whenever it is available on a multiple choice test. Also, absolutes are never correct.  

Yep, they fly these right over all the theme parks in Orlando, too. Not quite as much clear water to spin into up there.
