1989 Corvette Z51 6MT. ‘89 was the first year for the 6spd they used until the C5 came out and it was the last year of the old LED-tastic interior.

The launch commercial should be argument enough. But beyond that, it’s got a digital dashboard, Faceman drove one on the A-Team, half my toys of the era were C4 Corvettes. Get the C4.

My truck doesn’t have an 8-foot bed, but it does a hell of a lot of towing. Exactly the kind of work I bought it for, quite capably.

I’m with you, and I’m not generally a fan of Corvettes.

I’d buy it: the price is surprisingly cheap, the dumb wing is easy to delete and resell, the muffler can be found at a parts yard, upholstery is easily cleaned and it’s a manual transmission as the sports car gods intended. Most NPOND posts show that most Jalopnik commenters aren’t willing to get their hands dirty or…

Project Farm did a comparison of the Harbor Freight Daytona Jack and the Arcan Jack. The Daytona Jack is every bit as good as the Arcan and is the #1 recommended jack. Build quality and parts are the same as the Snap on Jack which is built in the same factory on the same production line, with different stickers.

He’s just driving up on the curb and sliding under?  What is it you think is going to happen?  A sinkhole forming under him?

Yeah, if I’m getting all the way under a car, I’m putting the wheels I took off under the car, too. Or ramps. Or the jack. Or all three.

Same here, I feel the redundancy helps. If I can, I also put some of those wheel ramps under the wheels.

I know it isn’t practical to do so all the time, but I almost always lower the car onto the jack stand(s), then raise the jack back up to where it is slightly engaged. I figure it is an additional failsafe. 

“He said they were riding the scooter on the sidewalk, which is legal in their home city.”

You’re absolutely wasting your time talking to this racist turd. That’s why his ass is generally left in the grays so he can just talk to his damn self.

That chart, while mathematically correct to the actual report and table 14, is also skewed to promote a specific agenda, leaving out crucial contextual pieces of information.

Grotesque.

I have no idea why I feel this way, but I feel like the 2004-2008 Acura TL has aged pretty well. Especially in Type S trim.

Rest In Power, Jim Brown.

Textbook “Fuck around, find out” rat cheer.

“Dark” doesn’t even cut it when it comes to the scene where the families come together in the mansion.  I won’t say anything else, but Mrs. JoshLLP and I were watching and both our jaws hit the floor, and we’ve seen all the ‘Luther’s to-date.  That was a new level of dark, even for this series.  

The T-Tops did make them trash, IMHO. When I was looking at T/A’s to buy in 1981, the first couple I drove had T-Tops and there was a railroad crossing that went diagonally across a road and the flex those cars had was like, “WOW”. I decided no T-Tops for me and soon found a very clean 25,000 mile 1979 403 Olds T/A,…
