They weren’t selling because of GM’s decision to let them wither on the vine and die. Saturn could have been like Tesla and Saab like Volvo with only a little foresight. 

GM letting Saab and Saturn wither on the vine, leading to their eventual death. 

Maybe they should/could buy a $4500 Dart and mod it. That’s fine, though dumb, but fine. They SHOULD NOT buy THIS Dart for $4500. 

I was born in 85, so by 2000 I was in HS and college. I don’t think I’ve ever touched a minidisc. I know of one or two people that had them, but they were suuuuuper rare. They were expensive and you couldn’t buy pre-recorded media on them, at least not around me. Just the weirdo tech dude had one.

I was so angry at the sales guy in 2010 when the high-trim Ford I was test driving didn’t have a six disc. Like, why are we going backwards?!

Props to you dad. But yeah, that’s like a normal six months any place I’ve ever lived. 

I don’t even understand why they exist. In most cases, destination is the same across the country. Just...add that to the MSRP. Make the suckers in Alaska and Hawaii just pay a little bit more. 

No, NM moving to PA. As soon as NM got notice that my insurance had switched to PA, they sent me a 30 day letter to either switch it back to NM insurance or they’d pull my registration. I was going to keep the reg until it expired, but went and reregistered in PA a few days later. Having NM insurance was a requirement…

This is great information to have. I try to be as supportive as possible to trans rights and really don’t want to offend anyone, but it’s just a very difficult topic to understand when you can’t get into someone’s head. Like, I am supportive to friends and coworkers i know are trans and want to make life as…

Okay, flip side to that - VT apparently doesn’t care that you have IL insurance?  When I moved between states once and changed insurance before changing registrations, the (old) state I was registered in was VERY unhappy and sent many a threatening letter. 

How does this work from an insurance perspective?  Do you have IL insurance or VT insurance?  Because of where I live, I pay roughly four times a reasonable insurance rate for my car, and would love to find some way to lower that bill (though I doubt this will work). 

I’ve come close to getting a Triumph countless times, I’m just too much of a chicken to pull the trigger. 

I totally agree. I got irrationally excited when I saw this because it’s the freakin’ Back to the Future truck!  Yeah it’s the wrong color and not a Prerunner but still. The nostalgia for this is huge (see: Radwood). It’s not even the “collector” or investment mindset, this is a cool as heck, relatively affordable…

Not the point. There’s a specific market for this truck, and it’s not people looking to use it for landscaping or as a Home Depot runner. 

I feel like we get into this argument frequently on NP/ND, but...that’s not the point. *I* don’t want this thing to drive, and I’m sure most people don’t. But it’s priced well for the market and there’s a lot of collectors out there that would want to snap it up, therefore NP.

Wtf is with the voting? It’s a clean, classic, original, low mileage, BTF-era Toyota pickup for less than $10k in a place with no rust. NP for all day, keep it pristine and it’ll be worth triple (or more) pretty soon.

I’ve owned various houses since I was 22 (I’m almost 40 now). I AM SO DONE. It’s always worry, always fixing something, always landscaping or repairing or upgrading. I DIY it most not because I necessarily want to save money, but because getting a contractor in to do ANYTHING is damn near impossible, even before the…

That’s such a cool story!

Discount decomposed fur coats! Just a little dirty and stretched out. The perfect fashion trend for 2020. 

Pick and pull yards basically taught me how to fix everything on my car. It’s amazing the amount of learning you can do on how to, say, replace suspension components or change a timing belt or swap head gaskets when you can practice on a car you don’t care about.
