The linked news article does specifically state “local convenience store gift cards”. Likely the scammer is taking the numbers then instantly reselling them for pennies on the dollar, hoping that all the transactions happen before anyone catches wind. I think the Visa ones leave too strong of a trace?

Still boggles my mind anyone thinks that a third party gift card is the proper payment for ANYTHING (other than some some gross fried food or whatever the hell Rutters sells (side note, I grew up with the Rutter family, very nice people)).

Oh sweet!  Best of both worlds. Sorry, thought that you went back to the OEM Boxster calipers on all four corners. 

Those are really beautiful. Honestly, they look amazing.

That’s not really the case at all. The government pulled the lands around DC from Maryland. Just give it back. It’s not like there’s a huge cultural difference between the people of DC vs PG County or different customs or a need for a different group of interests to be protected.

The bubble face F150s can be had all day every day for a third of this price and are just as capable. ND, the old trucks are cool but not that cool. 

Three extra internet points for using “stan” correctly. 

Shit I was a month early 😆

You know he’s only 61 years old, right? Although I would have sworn he was 75, like, two decades ago.

I can’t imagine there’s a collectible market for these. It’s cool but not that cool, and I’m really really rough shape. Probably needs at least $5k in restoration to make it even acceptable inside and out.  $5500 is far too high, it may be a contender at half that. ND. 

I was in a moderate accident when I was a senior in high school (got t-boned), so like 18 years ago. Whiplash and a concussion. I don’t think my brain has every really been the same since; I can’t describe it, but everything has just felt like it comes to me just a millisecond slower.

I thought a gallon or more a day was actually harmful. Is that not the case?

Sometimes they age them in bourbon casks

I had an hour each way in suburban, stop and go red light traffic. I go in once a week now, haven’t noticed a decrease in traffic.

I guess? Am I in the minority where I look at all the vehicles in my price point that match what I want, regardless of how “niche”?

So buyers will be cross shopping a Grand Wagoneer and a Land Cruiser? Is this really where Jeep wants to be?

I like Tesla’s cars and crossovers, and am in support of their tech and their company, but come on. The Cybertruck looks stupid and is not the best design for...trucking. Don’t be swayed by your adoration for a company. Tesla is also the biggest EV automaker so any article about *another* EV automaker would be remiss…

The customer service I’ve received from JLR has always been top notch. For what it costs, it had better be. I feel like those lists are flawed. 

What’s odd are that those things, fit and finish wise, that are so bad are what makes all the other VWs so good compared to their competition. The head unit in the Golf is fantastic, along with button layout and the little niceties.

OCMD has the right idea: impound first, ask questions later.
