Update: So far “Boot licker” is ahead of “Fuck you” 13 to 7. “Ok boomer” is a distant 3rd. with 3 and “whataboutism” is bringing up the rear with 1.

No.  He is saying firing the cops who were following order is not going to affect any of the desired changes and is a typical, mob, emotional, knee-jerk reaction.  In order to peacefully affect change, you need to call onto the carpet the individual(s) who actually issued this order, investigate why they did it, and…

If you aren’t interested in politics just gloss over anything that Justin writes. I think he’s the official political columnist at Jalopnik. Unfortunately, with many of the other writers gone he’s filling in with increasing amounts of political-but-vaguely related-to-automotive-so-I-can-rail-on-capitalism pieces.

Police have had un-Constitutional unrestricted assets confiscation for decades. This also includes assets destruction.

Right, I don’t see how the copyright holder would have any right to seize the vehicle. I can see having him take down the videos, but not seeing how it would result in the car being seized (couldn’t he take the parts and use it in another project?)

The YouTube channel in question is the popular B is for Build

I’m the same. About $1k over what I would be willing to pay. If it had a 3rd pedal and the headliner wasn’t preggers... maybe. But with an automatic, CP at almost any price. 90 hp and a 1980s automatic transmission is soul destroying, unless you are trying to get on the freeway, then it’s pants destroying.

First Impulse says “yes”. Further detail (auto, non-turbo) says “no”.

Seems like a lot of coin for a rather bland and long-forgotten model and brand. Sure, low mileage and good condition, but a forgettable design and not much going on under the hood.
