But how can it go on your credit scores if the agency doesn’t know who exactly was driving the car at the moment of the violation? Even if they looked up their registrations and found their names, don’t you need someone’s social security to report a debt to a credit agency?

Like everything modern the Grom is bigger and heavier. Think air-cooled 911 vs current day 992.1. 

China’s HSR is about $900 billion USD in debt. For perspective, Amtrak loses about $2 or $3 billion a year. 

Beat-up and wrecked NAS Defenders are valuable (at the right price) for their basic structure and VIN because pretty much everything can be replaced, including the bulkhead and chassis.

My big question is if RAM is supplying them with factory RHD dashboards. That’s probably the trickiest part. 

Made in China models starting at almost $1,000 and going up to $15,000. Pass. (Although they claim their “special projects” are made in Bristol. 

Considering that people are importing and selling clean RHD Jimney’s for that price or higher, it’s priced about right. A clean stock Samurai that’s lived its life in a warm dry climate is a good find. All the Samurai’s on Craigslist where I live are rusted out, with redneck lift kits and stripped interiors. 

Probably bought it off a little old lady for $2000 or so.

Everything else being the same (same car, same deal), a deal breaker for me is when the dealer adds on exorbitant “doc fees.” The amount the dealer can charge is set up by state law and most dealers will charge the max allowed. For example, in Pennslyvania the average doc fee paid is $130 while in New Jersey is it…

“The only reason to purchase a G-class rather than a Gladiator or Wrangler in the US, would be conspicuous consumption.” A 4 door loaded Rubicon with a lift kit, winch, 35" tires, bright red ARB differential covers and an angry face grill that never goes off road would like a word with you.

“European militaries.” Is that something someone should be intimidated by? Just asking for a combat veteran friend named “Toyota.”

Too bad in Texas simple assault is a misdemeanor. 

Wait until David Tracy finds out about the Kurogane Type 95. 

The writer according to her byline is “an artist.” Not a flood engineer. 

Dude, you just confirmed Godwin’s Law. 

If you live in a house with a gas-fired central heater, a single $100.00 bypass switch can be wired into the circuit. The electricity required by the blower fan can easily be met by a batter power pack.

An interesting side story would be that of Fred Koch, an MIT trained engineer who invented a new method of petroleum distillation and was promptly sued by the established oil companies. He was the father of the Koch brothers but back in the day he was the underdog fighting the big guys. His deeply conservative views…

How does “give me the best price” and then shopping it work with trucks? It seems like there’s a million different ways they can be configured. In any given market, there’s probably only 2 or 3 trucks available that are configured EXACTLY the same. 

If a dealer does give a detailed quote over email that is a genuinely good deal, you know what the customer is going to do? Ping it to the next dealer and ask them to beat it. And who knows, maybe the first dealer lost a sale over a $100 difference. AND, legally a quote can be considered a binding offer to sell which…

“In the age of electric cars, which require sleek aerodynamics, boxiness is probably never coming back to any car, period.” Not sure what you eman by “require.” Automotive aerodynamic styling principles have been known and applied since the 1930s and an angular car can be aerodynamically efficient. Angular vs soft…
