It’s not the desirable body style... and perhaps the 4-door never will be. But it’s also 1/2 to 1/4 the price of a same-year Torino in the coupe/fastback/convertible body styles. The usual “in today’s market” correction applies, but I kinda like this as a starting point for something interesting. Conservationalists…

Here is mine post police involved shooting. Guy took 13 rounds, car took 11. Bud the Police dog was shot and killed by the perpetrator. Met the author of the book that is pictured years later at a book signing.

We have solid inspections in NH, and there’s a good chance this won’t pass them any more

Rob I disagree. I have a livery business and have this car and a few lexus es300h all of the same Era. The lincoln continental is nicer the the Lexus interior by a good bit.

2 trillion?

The decals don’t help it at that price. And then there’s the obvious: Show Me The Soft Top! Lose the decals, show me the soft top works, and it passes a PPI, then we’ll talk. As presented, ND.

The I’ve turned into a grumpy old Bollocks category:

You know, when you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle, and this’ll help things turn out for the best.

The Dauphine is forever cemented in my memory thanks to an incident when I was a kid. I had seen them on TV as giveaways on game shows, but had never seen one IRL. Then one day as we were getting gas, my brother and I saw one zip into the station and slam to stop away from the pumps. The front doors flew open and both …

Wait, so trucks only need 1/8" tread depth on the fronts and 1/16" on the others? That’s insane. Given that each tyre has to move a gallon of water out of the way every second, that doesn’t sound anywhere near enough for even a light rain shower.

Your subconscious may have been trying to remind you that an ‘82 appeared in these pages for $5900 fairly recently.  It got a solid NP, but transposing those numbers makes it a harder sell.

John Oliver is not as funny as he thinks he is

I’m relatively young and very pessimistic.

If this sort of thing were being reported about any other country in the world, the news media would correctly describe it as institutional corruption. “Corrupt local police falsely arrested an innocent man...” and “The man had little hope that his legal case against the powerful police department would be taken…

I have a question for proponents of the ‘good guy with a gun theory’...Say you are the ‘good guy with a gun’. You roll up on some scene with someone shooting. Assuming this is a ‘bad guy’ (which maybe incorrect...see below), you pull out your gun to engage the person, but then another guy shows up with a gun. First,…

Obviously any list like this is going to produce disagreements. Mine is the lack of Spanish Caravan.

“How about you get the fuck out of our country,” she yelled at them. I’ve got a couple of issues with this. One: you shouldn’t yell that at anyone, ever.

So important was this economic juggernaut that it was once espoused here in the States that “what is good for GM is good for America.”

Back in the day when I was a teenager and worked at a little fly-by-night gas station I used what I called “Hang-the-Pump” trick. It worked like this: Car 1 would come in and say, “Just give me $5 worth.” I would pump the $5 and not hang up the pump to shut it off. Car 2 would some in and say, “Fill it up.” I would…
