I LOVES me some OEM takeoffs.

Fcuk.  Have this reluctant star.

Well, that’s what you get when you dont pay the “Rat-Free Plane Fee” at check-in.

One thing cool about the Vega is the Verti-Pak rail car that was developed to ship these. If only GM had spent the money for that on the actual car it might not have sucked so bad.

See me after class.

Here’s his mugshot:

Gotta be the Vega. While the Mustang II featured in the article was awful, the Vega took it to a whole other level. Prematurely rusted, drank oil like a 2-stroke, had this stupid sealed air cleaner...

Luckily my commute has me passing Costco right when the pumps open at 6AM and I have my pick of 15+ pumps. Stopping on the way home they are 3-4 deep in each lane waiting. I can’t hang with that - I’ll pay more elsewhere if I have to.

I know inflation is real but damn - I paid this much for my house. Sure that was 25 years ago but its a HOUSE. The house didn’t come with any wheels so maybe thats the difference.

Is nobody gonna mention that this platform is now EIGHT years old?

Definitely NOT sus.

SKP makes a copy of the Dorman one for about 90 bucks.  Worked fine on our 2005.

If we’re talking specifically to flip on BaT in 25 years, I’m gonna go:

Haha, yup. I’m still like “I’ll slow down to about 15 - you can just open your door and surf your Samsonite to a stop. Good luck!”

What a shit headline - here I was expecting Ford put $22,500 on the hood of each Lightning.

I don’t hug people I love for 3 minutes.  Even the “special” hug with the missus lasts for about 2...

Fire officials are urging residents to look for helicopter debris and possible human remains in their yards.

I was accidentally the problem buyer after the very willing seller let me take the car on a test drive and I got absolutely lost as the mapquest (tells you hoq long ago this was) directions I had printed out were in my car at his place. All I had at the time was their craigslist email information and had to email them…

This is inherently true - in California the single exemption is that the seller must provide a passing emissions test (if the vehicle is subject to one). You can write whatever you want and have the buyer sign it, but if it fails and the buyer want to push the issue, the seller will lose each and every time.

Worst experience was selling an old beater E30 318i to a coworker for $500 then finding out 2 years later (well after he had been fired) that he never transferred title and it had been impounded and they were looking to me to pay the fees of close to a thousand dollars.
