Mitsuoka Orochi: if a 1996 Ford Taurus hooked up with Abe Sapien from Hellboy.

NP if the price is negotiable only because if you’ve got a few thousand dollars to play around with I could see having lot of fun with this. Don’t like the New Beetle styling? Change it. This car’s destined for the junkyard in a few years anyways. Hell, chop it up into a kit car like people did with the old Beetle.…

I would bet money that rather than put the transmission in park, the soldier who drove the Humvee put it in neutral and pulled the hand brake. This is often the standard operating procedure with military vehicles since many of the older ones, even though they’re automatics, didn’t come equipped with park. All the kid…

We don’t have Vauxhalls here, so a car with those badges automatically has its cool factor increased by (apparently) $6000.

Note the Saudi license plate. You know your place is exclusive as fuck when you can tell a Saudi royal to GTFO.

If I had $30k to blow I could probably think of ways to have triple that value of fun with this. Which is good because I’m guessing that’s what it would cost to keep it going.

I really don’t understand the anger towards Tesla regarding these cars. Tesla wanted to get more of their cars into customers’ hands, so they detuned some of their 75kWh cars and sold them at a discount. The customers knew their cars were detuned and bought them because that was the only way they could afford a new…

Oh, some people certainly would care. But the ones who would care the most will likely never be able to afford to buy a new car.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but why are people here saying that she’s at fault for not having the right kind of insurance? She’s not even remotely at fault for what happened, so shouldn’t her insurance largely be left out of it. As a government entity, the city is likely self-insured, so the dispute is directly…

My in-laws have a gold XG350. It truly is a meh thing to look at. Apparently, they’re also quite difficult to find parts for as it just spent two weeks in the shop waiting on them to find a replacement something or other.

I drive a box truck anywhere from 250-500 miles/day all over WI. My observations:

I typically spend from 6-8 hours on the road every day delivering materials to construction sites. 99% of the time by myself. My solution is blasting heavy metal and singing/screaming/yelling along as loud as I can manage.

The most memorable car related occurred when I was 8 years old and she was 8 months pregnant with my twin younger brothers. Her, myself, and my older brother (10) were coming home from something or other in our 1984 Z-28 when she decided to stop at the grocery store about 3 miles from the house. When we went to leave,…

Illinois anywhere outside of Chicago. Maybe I’m weird in that I actually find city driving/traffic entertaining, but driving the length of Illinois is cruel and unusual punishment. 6+ hours of corn and soybeans. No topography. Occasional cities. For the most part just flat fields as far as the eye can see. Absolute…

The current buzzers and chimes would be much more effective if their volume was increased by 100 decibels.

This right here. 1967 Morgan +4.

Always loved this one: Bud Weiser Motors.

Ha! I used to work for one of their competitors. My job was assembling the accordion-shaped vapor return device that sits up against the fuel filler neck. That pay was garbage, the work was fiddly and the factory was poorly ventilated. Good times!

All of that build-up with nary a mustache in sight. For shame.

I can only interpret this as Ford expecting that the incoming GOP government will lead to lower wages across the board. Ford says that they don’t expect to need the increased capacity of a new plant. That means that they expect demand to fall, i.e. fewer people will be able to afford a new car.
That would also explain…
