How to pull off cargo shorts:
1. Divest yourself of all f**ks.
2. Wear cargo shorts.
I am 43 years old and currently wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt. Yesterday, I wore cargo shorts and a T-shirt. Tomorrow, I will probably wear cargo shorts and a T-shirt. When it gets colder, I will probably put a sweatshirt on over…

I’m vaguely amused by “P/W P/s P/B A/C” — they indicate to me that the seller has been selling cars since the days of the classified ads in newspapers, when you got 250 characters or whatever and you had to make them count. Also - really, by the mid-70s, I think MOST cars came with power brakes (yes?)

Reminded me of this:

This 100% looks like an extra from Cars 3 (or 4, if they’ve already done 3) ... His name is Fritz and he speaks with a thick German accent and has some sort of very odd hobby.

Sorry! The fate of so many 80s Bimmers is so tragic. Maybe Sarah Mclachlan can help raise awareness...

This. Or that it had met a similar fate to so many of its brethren: Original owner was Ryan, the owner of a small-but-prosperous jewelry store. He doted upon it and cleaned water from the carpet with BMW Part 85-2951-C, Invisible Stain Remover Pads (just like Bounty, but $2 each). Original owner put 50k on it and then…

Yeah, that would make tons of sense (pun not ...okay, pun not intentional, but intended now). Wikipedia says the layout is for road racing, because 2-3 shifts are more common, and this makes it easier than across-up/across-down. And actually, on the gated Ferrari referenced above, that would make a lot of sense - I’ve…

Happy to oblige! :)

Awesome. True story - a friend of mine was driving home, along a stretch of road that is:
-Speed limit 25
-HEAVILY used by pedestrians and cyclists
-Equally heavily patrolled by humorless traffic officers.
Said friend was being tailgated while doing 25. Friend waits until just before that alley where a cop is often…

I would think that C&C events are going to have to shut this sort of thing down pronto. Even if it’s an informal gathering, even if they have a strongly worded “no really don’t do this on the way out of the event”, unless there is some sort of indication that they’ve done everything possible to prevent idiots from…

I like push-down-up-and-to-the-left, but I’ll say “anything but this”:

No.

And every Saturday I work on the car,
Wipe up the oil leaks, they’re sticky like tar.

I wish I could believe that, were he to do this sort of thing again, it would be reported, he would be convicted, and he would be found in violation of his probation. The sad cynic in me is certain that if he got away with it once, there’s a fair chance that he will do it again and get away with it again.

My Lancia Scorpion would do 85
Tore up its valve train, now I don’t drive...

I think it was a pelican. ;)

I’m sure there’s another joke here, I just need to figure out which angle I need to attack it from.

The TVR Sagaris was a car entirely made of out of an angry badger’s chest hair foreskin. Bring it back.

THE CASWELL IS STRONG IN THIS ONE.

It looks ... better?
