the door stunt is a complete TG:UK copy from when Jeremy bought a GT and they were making fun of it.

there’s something more here I think and this is the one issue they think will make it go away. I completely agree with my property , my right side of things. Now if this guy is loading cars in the trailer at 4am by running them at 4000 RPM with open pipes, then he’s not blameless, but that’s a noise ordinance not the

Same thought, though I'd want to take it back to original, so this would be dependent on it making it from where it is to SE PA under its own power

you can buy an used c30 for this money (just checked autotrader). When the c30 was introduced, they were vocal how this was a call back to the p1800es

South Eastern Pennsylvania , most of our local chevy dealers have one with the “VOLT” graphic package from the previous generation that’s a loaner now

5 cylinder volvo’s with the PCV system of doom,

If you can find a Volt in a dealership, dealers don’t want them , don’t want to put the chargers in (that for some reason when they do put the chargers in, the dealership owner’s crew cab diesel bro wagon is parked in front of them ) , and don’t want to send their people off for the advanced training it takes to work

Now playing

take an unused latex/nitrile glove, remove the oil fill cap on the top of the engine, stretch the glove over the opening so the fingers point up, have someone start engine while you watch, glove should either stay the same or be drawn slightly into the opening, if it inflates like a balloon, it’s time to service the

I’d buy this just to hoon the hell out of it, about the only thing that doesn’t make sense is that they couldn’t make the temp and fuel gauges work with the factory gauge cluster? and the body electrical on these beasts are notorious bad, so be prepared to run wires at some point

I’ve driven past there, it’s a large auto dealer’s place where the trade in’s that weren’t good enough for CPO, couldn’t sell on the discount lot, and didn’t meet reserve at auction. A literal last chance garage., like beyond Freddie level patience , though that last 3000GT is close.....

so that auction car sold for 413.00 but.....the interior was toasts, all the leather needed to be replaced, switch gear looked like it has been chewed on, and without a maintenance history, the lack of the sticker saying the timing belt had ever been replaced ? even more questionable

With you on that one, as stated when the last long roof came up, earlier this year I found a v70 auto GLT/AWD with complete dealer maintenance history for under 2.5K with 114k on it. Also, why all the part swapouts? it smells like a unreported accident reconstruction. Also, very important, no mention of the PCV system

I wish I didn’t

I remember seeing these in the 70's occasionally I’ll see one lurking behind a house or in the long term storage lot. There’s quite alot on the internet about them, and how much trouble they are to maintain. But FWD, Big Block in this application is an amazing thing

Earlier this year, I purchased a 98 v70-AWD/GLT with 114k and a full dealer service history for a little over 2K. Needed some work (thermostat, cam seals, and tires), reluctantly this a CP.

#1 in military spending, where we out spend the next 20 countries... where, nominally of that 20, 19 are allies

in perfect condition, it’s worth maybe 1500? as is? 500 or less. Depends on if it runs, if it runs, 500, if not 250. Then go to ANY motorcycle junk yard, find the front end off a later CB and gets some disc brakes on that thing. Once you get it running, just change the oil regularly and make sure you don’t try

spend more than the next 20 countries COMBINED, 19 of which are our allies..... Military has been propping up the US economy since WWII, not going to change anytime soon

the audiobook narrator nails the inflection in this so much better than Damon
