Holy Grip Strength, Batman!

Then that is your risk. You can still just call the cops/insurance and make a claim. Who gives a shit at that point, you’re safe and sound, and you “got rid” of the car you were trying to sell in the first place. Sounds better than getting mugged/murdered.

I like it. Good ideas. So yes, add the insurance card to the list. I think the liability letter might be a bit of a PITA during the negotiation, but it’s worth a shot. BTW, I’ve never had a dealer ask me for a copy of my insurance. Ever. Just my driver’s license.

How is that *any* different if they cause an accident when you’re driving with them in the car? Liability stays the same, and you just put yourself in danger too. Look, all I’m saying is that getting in the car with someone you don’t know, and sitting inches away from them is *not* a good way to stay safe. They could…

I’ve had nothing but good luck with CL. But I do all my transactions in public places, like retail center parking lots.

NP right here. Because Strange.

Points for knowing about Mondrian.

Wow. Your edgy hipsterism is showing by how aggressively hateful you’re being toward a fairly benign, well-meaning band.

Ummm...not really. It’s still a body-on-frame truck, but it’s modernized in essentially every way.

Please compare the cloth seats to the leather you already sat in. This car is optioned exactly how I would want it. I fear that in the used market, these will be so rare as to be almost impossible to find in the future. To me, this is “Saturday track spec”.

This whole interior is terrific. I would love manufacturers to do retro like THIS. So fresh and so clean clean.

Ugh. Something about the Apple Watch just says “DOUCHE” to me right now. Maybe that will wear off.

Why does this spot for the stereo look like they intended for some sort of bespoke piece to be there, but then they ended up buying an adapter and an aftermarket deck from Crutchfield?

This entire photograph is fantastic. And having a mirror on the LHD side only would certainly make for some “interesting” driving in the UK. Good luck merging ever.

There is one trolling around Wheaton/Glen Ellyn, Illinois. It isn’t mine, but I’ve seen it many times.

I feel like I could’ve written this entire post. We are living parallel lives. This is spooky. The only part that doesn’t fit my story, is the wheelchair bit (sorry to hear that). I think your post has summed up for me that my next car DOES, in fact, need to have 3 pedals (again), and a hatch (also again). And I’m…

Haha! I’m all for modern tech, but I will be very sad when all the desirable sports cars are DCT only. I understand all the reasons why this is happening, but if you’ve learned how to drive with a third pedal, it’s just so enjoyable.

That last one right there is the one bumming me out the very most. DCT....

I still disagree. I live in Chicago, and know what rust looks like. All I’m saying is that I’m disappointed that they didn’t at least POR-15 the exposed portions of the frame when they were under there. There is clearly oxidation happening all over the place, and for $15k, I think they could’ve done more. It’s just my…

Why start with a rustbucket for all these mods?
