Every once in a while I see a first gen sedan Focus (that was my first car, too!), but I agree that they were not particularly long lived. SPI engine FTW, though, can’t kill that thing. My mom has an Escort that’s about a billion years old that’s still going strong.

I would make the bold claim that the luggage compartment in SUVs, wagons, and hatches also is not a “trunk”. Trunks, like my most successful relationship, require complete physical separation.

This is clearly Torch’s best piece of journalism and one of the top Google results when you search “Pixar Universe Theory”. 

In my younger days I was a Panther geek…

First season should be comprised of only Kardashian family members. 

So this was last year, although I guess the market is a little different I didn’t think it would be “this is double” different:

I do agree to some extent, however the rear of many similarly sized CUVs is barely big enough to hold one dog, let alone three. I could get my 90lb mutt into the back of a CRV, but probably not three of him.

I want a loaded Lariat Hybrid in about two years. Which means ordering one, but that’s okay. When you look at the MSRP of just about any decently equipped car these days, it’s hard to believe Ford can sell this so cheaply.  Couple years of teething should help. 

It’s been the rule since forever that any non-employee compensation, received from one source per calendar year, and above $600, requires a 1099. Venmo (and more importantly, Uber et al) was just skirting regulations by claiming they fell under the 1099-k reporting requirement ($20,000) for merchant payments.

Edit: a much nicer, lower mileage C55 just sold on Cars and Bids for $8,500. ND on this trashed one for sure.

Yep, this car is awesome and priced well. And since I don’t live in Cali, could not care less about the registration.

The price is a little high, but it seems to be in good shape. Maintenance is not astronomical especially if you can DIY. This is as close to a parts-bin car as a semi-exotic can be, so getting parts isn’t crazy expensive either (about on par with Audi, which, duh). The transmission and AWD system are stout. The…

Maybe rain gutters? easier to attach and lighter. 

And their pathetic drivetrain options show they have the least creative engineers, too. 

But did nobody buy second hand furniture? Just seems mind boggling to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

So this has nothing to do with the VW but your comment on luggage space for me thinking…

“Goodnight. Stay in your room until I come and get you tomorrow at 7am”. Seems to have always worked. 

I’d rather have the BAT one for mid-20s and stuff a N/S55 engine from a modern car 😆

The replaced odo is on the BAT car that’s going for $22k, not the header photo car that has 12 miles. Confusingly written, I agree. 

That diagram helps a lot. It’s definitely not something someone would accidentally take because it connects to some other main road (happened to me in NM all the damn time…pavement would turn into sand and then become pavement again in a mile, or a normal paved highway would become a rocky dirt path off the side of a…
