Why would you recommend a Chevy ss over a Pontiac G8? Chevy dumped an extra 20k onto the asking price when they took it over.

That’s not really true. Safety belts and airbags and crumple zones have demonstrably saved untold numbers of lives. To blame it all on “felt free to drive more idiotic ally” is just shortsighted. People have always driven like idiots. There’s so many factors over the decades that you can’t call out a single one. Speed…

Being a government body, I'm sure the nhtsa has its own paymasters, just different than the iihs... And not likely the taxpayers.  Having both provides a bit of balance between the insurance industry controlled testing and the automotive lobby controlled one. 

We’ve had four (or maybe six now) people killed in the last few months on the interstate here under construction. They’ve put up signs as far as 20 miles away from it and it keeps happening. All those accidents were caused by semis that didn't notice the miles long trail of stopped traffic and pancaked a car between…

This has been the entire Toyota production system philosophy for many decades.  Daimler inherited a lot of it for use in their freightliner plants.

Physics tells us (or at least it used to, who knows what's true with quantum and all that) that 2 different sets of matter cannot occupy the same place and the same time.  While people laws state that humans have the right of way, physics law says the right of way belongs to a 2 ton hunk of steel over a couple hundred…

Good examples of this car sell for less than half that.  It's also an old Mustang, which of ALL the pony and muscle cars has got to be the easiest to find.  On top of it, it's a mustang II.  Someone needs to inform this crackhead that vintage doesn't always mean valuable... and sometimes "classic" just means OLD. 

You mean all of them? 

Makes it look like the bastard child of a Buick rendezvous from behind. 

Should have left it camouflaged.

Was just a very loose guess, hadn't paid that much attention to specifics. 

Not sure where we’re all at but around me, a 2017 Volt with 30-40k miles is 16k-20k. A 2016 Prius with 30k-40k miles is pretty solidly 16-17k regardless of being a 2 or a 4. So not nearly that much of a price difference.

The tires? 

I’d say so. My limit on that would probably be 2/3 more expensive. I hate spending money on cars, but I’ve come to realize that there are occasions where spending a little more is worthwhile.

On mobile, in that first pic, I just thought the engine cover was open

Ouch.  Take your star

Super convenient if you drive it under a semi trailer and have the roof torn off, though! 

TVR clearly had trouble translating what "side exhausts" actually meant. 

My old roomie had one and it terrified me.  All my cars to that point had 20 foot long hoods, and I thought we were crashing every time he pulled up behind someone, because the hood on that thing is invisible and only requires 6 inches of space between cars. 

Especially if the tool is a Sawzall
