Maybe. Could it be insurance fraud? Perhaps they have some crazy declared value policy for big money on the car? Perhaps they want the attention and/or notoriety?

Yeah but it still kind of sucks compared to soul red metallic

i don’t mind other people’s car color choices as long as it is not any shade of green

Thanks...that’s why I’m here.

Mr. McParland, I enjoy the other writers here on Jalopnik quite a bit. But your columns are where I look for useful car information that I can really use. I read every one of them, and use the “history” links to go back and catch any that I may have missed. Thank you.

I don’t know, I still get emails from a dealerships I shopped at 5 years ago.

It seems like the deep south and a scattering of other places don’t require it, but most places to. I wonder if there is some kind of correlation between stricter safety requirements (i.e. state inspection) and requiring a front plate?

Last time I played a video game was Guitar Hero once about 10 years ago; prior to that? Mario Bros. on the original Nintendo. (That is to say, your joke is well over my head.)

I’m an idiot for this one, I fully admit it.

I offered some guy from the internet my crapcan XJ for free if he would just haul it away. Instead, after driving half the day he showed up at my house, drank all my beer, and pissed off all my neighbors by wrenching on it in my driveway half the night. Then he crashed on my couch, covering it and my dog grease. In…

All the feels, Bro. My grandfather’s last car was a 1977 Ford LTD Country Squire Station Wagon with a 460 V8, leather, and fake wood paneling. It was the quintessential late 70s barge. But my Grandfather was a mechanic most of his life and that car would MOVE. He had a stroke in 1988 that left him bed-ridden and…

Thanks to David and Brandon for making this weekend the greatest automotive experience of my life thus far. The Briarwood will always be the anchor of my future fleet of shit boxes and I owe it all to you guys.

Stop being lazy. Seriously.

Why not leave Polestar alone and create a new division called Voltstar?

My RX-7 had a blowout while I towed it home on a car dolly, just a few miles from the sellers place. I called him and asked him if he had a jack so I could throw the spare on. That’s how I found out he was under house arrest and couldn’t leave.

I completely forgot about the car one of my friend’s friends bought. He insisted on me going along to look at cars because “I know about them”. Look at a Civic that seems pretty nice, but deal doesn’t work out. He then shows up to my house several weeks later with a POS Buick LeSabre. Every light on, junkyard…

This wasn’t the only Soviet self-built/home-built sports car. There were several, going back as far as the 1930s.

All of these questions are going to be answered in relation to the rotary valve e36 engine. Some answers may be slightly different on the Briggs Engines.

FlightSafety.. hah.. that’s not a name I’ve heard in a while.
