San Rafael is not 2 hours north of San Francisco, more like half an hour or less since there’s no traffic these days. Actually looks like the Eichler neighborhood in Terra Linda. For those who don’t know Eichler houses are famous mid century modern houses. Pretty cool stuff to read up on actually.
LX is a Chrysler 300, LD is the Charger, LA is the Challenger. The Chrysler 200 wasn’t even made in 2019, so that date code would make no sense with that guess.
LX is the Dodge Challenger/Charger platform at FCA and Pitch Black is a color option.
A friend of mine was a freelance trucker. During the droughts in texas he would haul hay from Iowa to Oklahoma and when he was unloaded spend a couple days buying rust free old cars to haul back north. Made some decent money on it
I have a Malibu Maxx and anytime I give somebody a ride they freak out about how great the interior options are. However, their sale prices are like sub-$4k, not a lot of room for flip profit. I love it, if it had AWD and mine didn’t have Iowa rust I’d never get rid of it.
You can. Car dealers do it all the time.
If I had to guess, you could sell rust-free examples of 15-20 year old Suburbans/Tahoes for a pretty penny in that area.
When I lived in Alabama, a neighbor would get 3rd Gen Camaros, fix them up and sell them up north for a big profit. Rust free 3rd Gens were cheap and common in the area at the time and there were markets in the north that really wanted clean examples. He would fix up a 3rd Gen (normally something as simple as buff the…
Let them register their ships stateside and pay taxes and then we’ll look into giving them assistance in a year or two.
That is true, but it’s also likely that you could put 1700 pounds of concrete blocks in the back of a truck without needing to stack 4 layers high. Or you can install a headache rack to improve intrusion resistance without losing any of the vehicle capabilities. Or you can just hope that a pane of glass is better than…
More like the Avalon AARP.
FYI, that ‘neat looking’ bike is a first generation Pake C’mute! They were pretty common around where I live and were generally considered to be a decent less-expensive alternative to the (very nice) Surly Cross Check cyclocross/commuter road bike. Simple chromoly steel frame and easy to set up with whatever road…
Sorry to hear. My divorce went final about 15 months ago; JUST in time to get my situation back together in time to actually enjoy the shelter in place order our governor bequeathed on us. I am now back at home, live with my doggo and adult son (whose college closed for the spring). It is a very peaceful house. No…
I lost my job at the end of January in a corporate re-org, my wife is a nurse, I’ll turn 50 around the day US deaths are expected to peak, and one of our investments is a vacation rental.
Well... uh... my wife and I were having some marital issues beforehand and now we’re stuck in the same house together for who-knows-how-long, so... yeah....
My father was working in Sweden when they made the change. At some agreed upon time, everyone stopped for 60 seconds (?), then got back in their cars and switched to the other side of the road.
I know this isn’t really relevant but I saw it recently and wanted to share it.
We have a Minivan, and the day before we left on a trip to Lake Powell, someone rear-ended it. When they said, “oh hey, we’ll give you a durango instead” I was so stoked. That was until I tried packing all our stuff in it. It was worse on the road, worse cargo space, worse driving comfort, worse driving dynamics,…
Haha, it’s Chevy that sells us a 1970s van.
so.... I remember conversion vans. And I recall them going the way of the dinosaur, too.
