Will do!

I’ve been going to BaT for many years. I like looking at the listings even if I’m not looking for a car, because there are just so many cool things that show up on there. However, I do lament how it has gone from being a site for mongrels, project cars, oddities, cool-but-not-necessarily-classic cars to a high-end…

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I made a road trip this weekend to work remotely and I had a blanket, extra water, food, flashlight, heavy coat, gloves, collapsible snow shovel and a bunch of those chemical handwarmers in the back because it’s not unusual for I-84 to shut down for a while when it gets bad. Matter…

Ohhhhh, it’s a pre-quel. Didn’t know that. Makes a little more sense now. 

My 94 Jeep still had the vacuum system which sucked, or more to the point, didn’t. Replaced it with a cable actuator because I was tired of always trying to troubleshoot the hoses. Once, it was a little glob of mud that disabled the system. 

You can look back and see if your tires are turning. Although I’ve never driven anything powerful enough to drag a trailer with frozen brakes without feeling it.

No, just the normal gasoline power plant. But that was a good V6. I think the paddle shifters helped a lot to make it feel like it had more grunt than it probably really had.

Congratulations on growing out of your booster seat!

Another major plus, you can go directly to your destination, no messing around with airplane, then having ground travel to the hotel, then ground travel to the stadium, then back to the hotel.

although I will say a few years ago Bombardier had a “dockable” jet ski/floating platform thing that made it more flexible, but probably didn’t move many units.

I miss the small nimble ones. They were eminently tossable. With a tiny turn radius you could get some bodaciously unstable powerslides going and just thrash around. And they accelerated like crazy. Sure top speed was maybe 35-40mph and anything over mild chop made riding them into a torture session but man, they were…

I had a Mercedes R class. It was weird and bulbuous, but damn that was a great kid hauler, had tons of power, decent mileage, incredibly comfortable long-hauler and nothing, nothing stands up to abuse by kids like an MB Tex interior. I cleaned it up to sell after raising 4 kids in that thing and the interior was…

Was the placement part of an automated system that messed up? That seems to be the only possible answer. 

TL;DR

I didn’t really do it right from memory.

or how a near miss should technically be a hit.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s...

The BMW 3 series Gran Turismo. A nice car with a bad, misproportioned boot.

ah, the Zandozan!

In his defense, he would be just as engaged if you were having a discussion about your favorite childhood breakfast cereals.
