For $43 grand? No. Way. No. How.

I think the W110 cars are cooler. And this one falls under “someone else’s project”. But it looks to be a fun project to continue to tinker with while driving it around town a little bit.

hey!

“Hercules”  Poirot?!!

NP I want it.

That’s my question as well. This guy was working in a dangerous occupation with a legitimate risk of death or disability, and was being paid to do so by a very large media conglomerate. There should be absolutely no need for any type of additional funding beyond the preventative measures he should have taken (life…

Do you think this might encourage Discovery to stop exploiting these low-cost, low effort, “reality” TV shows for content? Also, why does this guy’s family need a go-fund-me? Does Discovery not have any responsibility here? Why does the public need to pitch in for something like this?

Base pricing for the Macan starts at $57,500 for the base model and runs to nearly $83,000 to get into a GTS. But this is Porsche. You could probably get a base Macan up to the price of a GTS in options alone.

I know I seldom vote NP and I’m not going to do it today either. Sellers like this really piss me off. He is a want to be car dealer selling shitboxes he picked up at the wholesale auction last week. His ad sounds like this car is his personal pride and joy. These guys that sell using “by owner” ads on Craigslist…

No kidding, 3:37, look at the sky. Reminds me of Scotland.

Where, incidentally, whenever I saw the sky at that hour, I was (also) off my tits.

hmmmmm, Now where have I seen this dude?

My only takeaway is that the sky’s bright at 3:37am in Anchorage.

You can read the rest of the extensive report on the dealership here.

and a half-disassembled car in the yard or driveway that will eventually have to be disposed of, and after all the good bits have been stripped the scrapper might take it for free if you deliver it. 

Went NP for salvage value.
But wait! It’s not a fuel pump that’s needed, according to the ad it’s a ‘fuel pomp’. Maybe that’s why they couldn’t find the right part?

“1999 Mercedes Benz all 230 convertivo MECANIC special need fuel pomp clean Nv title 185.000 miles call obo $1650"

I’m also in for it being a convertio.

This right here. There is more to the story as there always is with these types of sales. If you know it’s the fuel pump you would have just replaced it and sold the car as a runner. You can buy a OEM Merc pump for $215 online or an off brand for $65. This is a 1.5hr labor job. Simple. 

One always has to ask about a mechanic special-if indeed it is just a fuel pump, why not spend the cash and get ‘er done, and sell it for $3K?
Well because maybe the non-running engine is hiiding a bad head gasket, worn out engine, non-functional transmission, or maybe even that the fuel pump isn’t running because the…

My mother recently needed a tow, she called AAA, and they told her that she will have better luck contacting a tow company directly and having AAA reimburse her. Now what the heck kind of service is that? Sounds like this is how AAA operates now.

On the flip side the biggest European treats not allowed in America are Universal Health Care and the Kinder surprises..
