Even at "fell off a truck" prices, you'd easily get $400 for a set of nice OEM wheels. Plus, they're easier to unload than aftermarket ones.

This was a tough call, but ultimately CP. Not pretty enough to be a garage queen, too fragile to DD. For your low-priced exotic daily driving fun, you'd be better served by going boring, with something teutonic, maybe with a whale tail. If you want it to be parked 2 out of 3 weekends, go for something more PCH, like…

or accurate. Just because there's a title attached to it, doesn't make it less of a problem.

I had a friend who was a valet. Driving with him was always surprising - he drove just like a normal person on the highways and city streets, and then he'd pull into the parking lot at 40mph, and not touch the brakes until he was halfway into a spot.

Wrong. Generally ~10-20% more. http://205.254.135.7/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_nus_a.htm

So, the driver makes a moderately angry comment, that wasn't sexist at all. Then, a bunch of redneck NASCAR fans get redneck on the situation.

Generally, I liked what he did, with the exception of just about every set of wheels.

Ooh! I'll play.

And bad driving culture. The road system is poorly managed, to be sure, but what little instruction there is, is completely ignored. Lane markings - don't matter. Speed limits - don't matter. Road direction - doesn't matter. The government doesn't help, but most of the horror of their driving falls on the drivers.

Split the cost of a used rollback with a couple friends, get AAA to tow you to a safe spot, and have one of them pick you up, with the understanding that you will come pick them up if ever they get stranded.

Medium zoom, bright flash, weird composition.

Yeah, it does suck. You just have to cross your fingers and hope that you never buy a car that turns out to be stolen. There are so many paper-less cars with unknown history out there that even reading stories like this, it probably wouldn't even cross my mind unless the seller was shady or the deal was too good.

What's the endgame here? To hurt the dealership? I don't understand behavior like this. If I read this right, it's gone something like this:

A) troll.

Every car scowls. Boring.

Oh, no doubt. I'm absolutely in agreement on all points. If we stopped mandating nanny systems, and instead made greenhouses and beltlines reasonable, and made braking and steering response better, I think we'd see a lot of improvement.

You have information on the ND coming out next year?

Probably a safety concession. Same reason the NC was jacked up inches higher than it has to be - apparently the feds care about pedestrian's kneecaps. Luckily, they made that easy to fix once you get it off the lot.
