The similarity to the 1st/2nd gen Escapes has my attention on these. They were quite spacious for a small SUV that kind of got ruined with the more streamlined CUV profile changeover. If we get a hybrid version of the Bronco Sport as has been teased and it manages mid-40s MPG AWD I’d be sorely tempted to replace my…

He was 97. That is a life long lived.

I kept looking for what was wrong with it at $2K. If it were my ride I would start asking almost double that- this is a simple, classic shape, durable car. I loved these Explorers (though the money saved on the basic V6 flew out the window via shitty mileage vs the SOHC V6- my family had one of each).

That one got me right in the feels. lol

Have one more car than you actually need if you are going to DIY everything.

Actually VW manuals do have their weaknesses, but depending upon who did the install, may have been addressed at the time. The weaknesses arent insurmountable.

Exactly. And moderate Dems will never stop saying “it’s not time yet.” Fucking now or never.

Counterpoint: McConnell and his ilk are mostly old as dirt. They will be dying off soon.

As long as you continue to weaken moderates and help strengthen reactionaries on the right you are correct. That will not lead to it becoming your time.

The Dems were having a major voter registration crisis up until the George Floyd protests.

It is more likely that without the combination of thousands of protests and millions of Americans being angry about police violence (and supporting defunding the police) AND 250k Americans dying from COVID/millions more on…

they’re experts on anything related to automobiles

Agreed. Money won’t win it all for you. Now that the election season is over, I can talk about my clients. We got Kayla Young elected to the West Virginia State Legislature, in a heavily red district. Also, we didn’t even crack $20,000 in total fundraising.

“They just spend the last four years getting their asses kicked by Trump’s MAGA money machine, so they need Rahm.”

Your idea works only if you pretend Laquan McDonald didn’t happen. Emanuel being mayor soured him with most people. Naming him to the cabinet is an awful idea. 

Are you a Chicago resident? We have a whole lotta reasons to hate the guy.

Democrats like Biden, Clinton and Obama are basically pre-Reagan republicans. People like Bernie and Warren aren’t “far-left, just left-leaning centrists.

By the time it’s “our time” these right wing idiots will have killed the fucking world.

I recently re-watched Ronin for the first time in a long time, and I had forgotten just how good and how beefy the car chases are in that film. Solid film with some really great car action.

No Bullitt, no Gone In 60 Seconds (the original) and no Blues Brothers tells me this whole heart rate measurement thing is lacking goodness. Heck, the lack of Duel throws this list into question.

This doesn’t seem like a bad project at all.  Since the engine is out, give it a refresh and maybe a couple of mods, then slap that baby back in with a fresh clutch.
