After hearing its engine roar to life, my brother bought one of Ron’s old Saabs and started cleaning it this past weekend. Before and after:

Just the good ole’ Jalops / Never meanin’ no harm / Beats all you never saw, been loving brown manual wagons since the day they was born / Laughin’ the Mustangs / Hatin’ the stances / Someday Patrick George may block ‘em, but Kinja never will / Makin’ their Miatas the only way they know how / That’s just a little bit…

This Lada Niva with a Snorkel is what you need.

Jeep I-6 4.0L

Try Army & Navy Surplus.

Whats the big deal? Its not the first time a Mercedes has taken a jaunt through the woods.

You’re smoking something... probably a mix of oil and apex seals.

Sell the mazda3 and buy a mazda3 with the correct transmission?

Government vehicles in my experience are always well maintained. They may get driven a little hard sometimes, but they should have always had everything done on time and logged. The only downside (where I live at least) is that they’re usually white.  

Oh I have one! He got in and drove away and I haven’t seen him in 20 years.

He still finished lower than he should have qualified in the Mercedes.

Well I have a 12a carbed, no rust Georgia car. Interior is decent but a little dry. 5 speed, no sunroof. Mechanically well sorted. Has a couple minor dents from being from 1985. I’m a couple years newer and have more dents!

Thing’s I’m looking for:

1. Rust and dent free
2. Decent Paint
3. Decent interior
4. Five-speed
5. 13b fuel injected motor
6. <$5k

I’m not worried about mechanical problems.

I remember when those were nice freaking cars.

“Anywhere within 50 miles of DC”

In the same vein - I-66 between Manassas, VA and DC. Hell on Earth.

I-95 between Richmond, VA and DC.

Correct. Also, we have the issue of inconsistent enforcement. I’ve seen sweatpants and leggings on planes for 20 years. If leggings are now subject to inspection, there needs to be a posted dress code, like in high school or our workplace. Otherwise, ejections are going to look like retaliations for other things…
