Orrrrr....move to Montana, enjoy Montana registration regulations, and drive your Montana-registered vehicle to Glacier national park, located in Montana:

If you’re changing spark plugs on a Cummins....

I love the centerpiece here - definitely evokes images of Bugatti past. As for the styling throughout, it has this “Ginsu” feeling to it, meaning, ‘capable of shredding anything that woefully crosses its path.’

I always thought the Fiesta was relatively shadetree-friendly.

The ‘89 Firebird I used to own, to get to the spark plugs 7 & 8 on the L98 350, I had to get under the car and change them from underneath.

Agreed. The only easy thing to do on my 6.0L is the oil change - 20 minutes tops. Everything else is hell to get to. I’m dreading the FICM...

Batteries* - and yes, changing them out is a chore. I recently did that in my truck, MAJOR pain to replace them, in time consumed and dollars consumed.

I’m kind of surprised they didn’t go after the internals, but the old 12V Cummins diesels are damned tough engines.

Build quality looks solid, but the finish is just not there for me. For $22K, I could go out and find a few different conversion vans that have a beautiful fit and finish, like this ‘76 Westfalia for $15,900:

Rare, you say? Autocrossing, you say?

This thing looks like it would be massively fun, no matter how you drive it. Kind of like when, as a kid, I sat on my Tonka dump truck and rode it down a hill until that Tonka fell apart, then I put it back together and kept riding it. Yeah, this Honda evokes thoughts of that kind of fun.

Came out to just shy of $105K, mainly because I spec’d the ceramic brakes and glass panoramic roof. All the extras are just, well, extras. I’d rather go to the aftermarket and get the other performance goodies, like the exhaust, suspension work, upgraded intercooler...

Here’s a ‘96 Grand Am for $1,100: http://southbend.craigslist.org/cto/5176289829…

The 526’s 270 KIAS maximum speed sounds impressive, but the T-6B Texan II, born from the Pilatus PC-9 (there are differences, although subtle and small), has an equivalent top end utilizing a single 1,100 HP PT-6A turboprop. I’ve a sneaking suspicion Cessna’s aircraft had electronically-governed power restrictions.

Hampton Roads craigslist has a decent selection:

Well, if the mileage was 180,000 miles lower, and the car was 100% original.

If Honda and Mercedes-Benz collaborated on a motorcycle...

Well, if you’re willing to take a gamble on the shifter staying in neutral, I’d imagine it would be okay. Whilst not the best idea, I once towed a ‘79 300SD on a dolly like this, never had any issues over the ~50 miles I towed it with my ‘99 Dakota 5.9 R/T.

James Bond would approve.

Let’s see....In order of ownership: 2003 KLR 250 - single front disc, most braking power came from the front. 2008 Kawasaki Versys - dual front discs, most braking power in the front end. 1995 Honda Magna - single front disc, most braking power ... in the front. 1991 DR350S - single front disc, most braking power in…
