Don’t listen to the freaked out yuppies in this thread who only have ever bought new, or cert pre-owned. I grew up in a household that would fix and sell Toyota trucks in this manner to make extra food money.

I curbstone-purchased my current daily... Double checked with the third party on the title, and checked that I could get the title in my name with just an intermediary bill of sale. Turned out great.

Dude I bought it from was a retired Volvo mechanic who was trying to make up some extra money by fixing and flipping old…

Yup. I’m addicted to bathing and that devil-Spotify. Also, sleeping and eating. When I don’t do those my day just feels worse.

As the owner of several old jalopies with semi-functional odometers, I fully support a milage based tax.

"You remind me of the bird..."

In WA? It's a place for Prius/Volts/Teslas to go 58 in lockstep with the other four lanes.

Hey, don't make it too easy for the Kinja writers to find their Reddit source material.

It appears that the oldest functional orbiting satellite was launched in 1978.

My Father and Grandfather worked on the oil pipelines in northern Canada during the 1960s. The job involved a lot of driving pickups between remote sites in freezing temperatures. Not unusual to put half a million hard miles on a truck in its five or so year life.

OH SNAP.

Looks like AlO to me... Corrosion happens when you let something damp sit.

Can't beat art by the same guy who made YES covers. Cordia Turbo FTW.

A fleshlight that fits into the hitch receiver?
