Kawasaki KLR650 - the Toyota Hilux of bikes?

Rule 1 - Newer is more gooder.

I found a local Jeep Comanche on CL this morning, too

I thought it wasn’t until the Five Hundred was renamed “Taurus” that it got the 6-speed along with the 3.5L Duratec motor.

I had a 1992 Talon with manual transmission that was my daily driver for 13 years. Never any major problems, and only one near miss. I had just pulled into my driveway after an 8-hour high speed highway trip, and heard a soft slapping sound from under the hood. Popped the hood to take a listen, and the sound was

I hate we got this instead of the 427 or Interceptor concepts. I remember when the 500 came out though. I actually remember hearing some people calling the design “Audi like”. Some cities actually used these as police cars. You should do a follow up to this with the Ford Freestyle.

If this was an 86, where they only made 200 of the Aerocoupes for NASCAR, it would be worth that. But from the factory the only thing good about this car was its looks. A clean factory SS is in the 6-9K range these days. I’d say this Aerocoupe worth 12K on a good day, while drunk after watching Days of Thunder.

This is the automotive equivalent of sticking a rolled towel down your pants or a girl putting socks in her bra. Eventually you get found out and that’s far worse and embarrassing than just being honest.

Geez, I’ve owned like 10. I have two sitting in the garage right now!

The ass-cossetters are present and accounted for, I can see the switches for the passenger seat at the bottom of the dash beside cigarette lighter. I almost bought a 2004 9-5 Arc sedan in 2010 but unfortunately my university budget only allowed for the 1995 Camry I eventually bought. I still wish to this day I could

The T7 sludge recall mod is visible from the top of the engine.

NP all day long. The car’s not trashed, the inside looks good, the A/C is probably a straightforward fix and there were tons of these so parts shouldn’t be a huge issue. I would definitely check the oil pan for sludge before purchasing, however.

@Graverobber... NOT MB-Tex... that’s the real deal leather in this car. MB-Tex has pleats that go all the way to the seat edges, leather seats have smooth panels under your knees. Below is a pic of my W124 with MB-Tex for reference.. this applied to the 300-class (E-class) and the S-Class. Not sure I have ever seen a

As I’m inclined to claim, this old girl is my 1931 Ford Model A. I drive her as many chances as I get which, in the South, is quite a lot. I started driving it when I was 16 and later on it spent 2 years as my only car. Whenever Doug used to inquire what he should buy and live with, I never hesitated to tell him to

“Quirky Saab” ...that’s redundant. Coulda just said Saab

I have to disagree slightly on the insist they honor the price or walk out plan. Just walk out, go somewhere else. Even if they chase after you saying they’ll honor the price, walk out. They already blew their chance. If they tried it once they’ll try it again. If it is a franchise deal then a letter to the offices of

All wrong. The only right answer is Duce and a Half. They can be had all day for under 10K. They run on anything, can pull anything and get stuck no where.

XJ or bust!

That episode was missing when series 2-17 were on Netflix too. I tried to look into why this episode is always missing, but never came up with any answers.

I think that one they said would never be broadcast again.
