I’ve been thinking that Sabine was the Stiglitz at some point

I recently got a v70 of similar vintage, lower miles, and a complete factory service history for less than 1/3 of this, CP

looks like an upscaled CJ-5 more than a 7, but the wheels scream Mail Delivery “Jeep”

not fanfic, that’s a direct quote

With you 100%, this is way too much for a snowbirds car, it is nice, desirable even, but not at 20K

if you want to see what will be on a base hyundai in 10-15 years? Look at the current S class Merc.

older wranglers (square lights) came with these on the factory top

I has a 99 Wrangler, worst thing I ever did was pull the bolts and fold the windshield down one summer day , the seal never was right again and every time it rained water ran either into the interior (inconvenient but tolerable) or flooded the back of the dashboard (horrific short circuiting). I fit of desperation I

The SLR was the corporate nose at the time, possibly one of the best looking mercs since the Gullwing, it just didn't print well on smaller cars, it needs the epically long hood to set it properly

Buyer Beware, I picked up a garbage disposal and since I didn’t have the time bought the “installation” package from amazon for $150. Turns out that the plumber has posted the “installation” as a “replacment” (as in you already have a disposal installed). Charged me an additional $120 over and above what I had already

An unmolested Honda of that Era is impressive, NP all day

I'd love to do gumball rally, vanishing point and a, recreation of the top gear southern states special (minus the anti gay portion)

Where I live, the local officials would have put an end to this almost immediately,, their zoning basically states that if it isn’t registered and driveable then it needs to be in the garage, and the neighbors watch like hawks. My Saab 900 convertible is in need of repair so it’s in the garage with the wife’s SUV, the

conditional NP, I would want to make sure when they rebuilt the head that they also replaced the cam chain and guides, and that the oil pan is sludge free.

there was something up with the GEO/Chevy versions, not sure what went wrong there since the same plant eventually produced matrix and vibes for Toyota/GM, but yeah the 1.8 in the prizm, while the same motor, seemed to be plagued by oil issues, friend had one, we traced it back finally to the original owner (to 50k

a used Corolla has replaced the used Civic as the goto car for “kid needs a car” car. Used Civics are hard to find unmolested (aka engine swapped, stanced, body kit, ruined) whereas absolutely pristine Corollas (corolli?) are available for reasonable pricing almost everywhere. The 1.8 and 2.4 engines are fairly bullet

I recently got my hands on a 98 v70, I never owned a Volvo before, but am quite familiar with saabs. My buddy had a blue 240BL wagon back in the day and it was a remarkably durable car. After a month driving the v70, I really like it, I like the way they engineered things

A friend of mine recently sent me a pic of your bug at the grocery store in Brooklyn, he always wanted one, he was shocked when I told him that it was an Internet celebrity, keep it rolling

If I was in the market for something truck like I would be looking at the Ridgeline, I need to occasionally move kids to/from college, right now my 18 yr old v70 does that and makes sense

not collectible really, not that great of a wagon, and 10k for anything with north of 170K on the clock is a bridge too far - CP
