This happened right down the street from me here in Maine. A kid got his Jetta up to triple digits on a road that has a tight turn in front of an old brick mill building. There was a little brick annex building that he hit. The bricks won. He did not get out of the car and run around after that, more like they scooped…

Sorta?

When I was a kid in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, my dad went through a series of smallish cars for my mom to drive. Her ‘74 412 Squareback was one of them. IIRC it came between the ‘76 Vega wagon and the ‘74 B210 hatchback, but those are other stories. Anyway, it was blue with a blue vinyl top, 3-speed A/T, and had the…

At least I am not the only one who has experienced insurers who seem like total a-holes. I got a letter telling me that a drone flyover showed damaged roofing and it had to be repaired within 30 days or I would be cancelled. Strange that I got this notice 4 months after I had completely replaced the roof. Maybe they…

Is this in response to the ad saying that they are the only owner? I took that as saying they were the only person on the title.

I owned one of these, the Club Coupe version, it was a great car. It was even my daily driver for a while. The market has not moved enough in 9 years to justify the price on this one, I sold mine on BaT before the auction days for around $14k and it was really dialed in: https://bringatrailer.com/2014/09/23/freeway-fri…

I’m a sixty-something guy who spent much of my childhood restoring twenties-forties era cars with my dad. He’s still alive and kicking at 90, but as you mentioned, it’s getting harder to find people knowledgeable about restoration of cars from this era. Dad’s dozen or so are sadly deteriorating in his garage as he’s…

I actually drove one of these for a couple of years as a company car. It was reliable, I’ll say that, but the actual comfort level was not as good as it looked. It LOOKS fairly luxurious, but the seats were no good for long drives. It was a free car for me, but I would never buy one.

The aftermarket yoke is the reason it has a salvage title.

It’s the 21st century.  Y’all need to upgrade to this.

Donald Pleasance, of course. The original Doctor Evil.

What? No Bill Bailey?

And YET (and I apologize to those who read my previous low-mileage car sale comments), WHY do these people think they can receive collector car prices on a Craig’s List ad with less detail than when I sold a used child safety gate for $20??? (Or does Rob have a knack for finding the laziest car sellers on the…

This is a better video of the same run...

This is like the Twilight Zone episode when the thieves woke up 100 years later and discovered the gold they had hidden had no value.

Hate Cilantro, because I’m one of the soap-mutants. Easiest way to destroy a good salsa or plate of carnitas is to add too much of the Devil’s weed.

You know there is something wrong when this isn’t even close to the worse thing that Penn State is known for.

“I should have sent it to the Marx Brothers” totally works on multiple levels.

All good points. But that lighthearted tone and non-stop comedy is a spotlight that throws a scene into dark relief: the moment when Walter Donovan shoots Henry Jones.
