Oh Lord, protect this rocket house and all who dwell within the rocket house.

Desirable car, great photos, simple description in the ad, clean title, low mileage and amazing condition for its age. Almost too perfect. I mean NP but I’m a little suspicious that I’m going to wake up in an ice-filled bathtub without a kidney if I go see this.

Didn’t forget so much as just left the base starting price out of the discussion.

This is just a phrasing game. It’s worded in a way to make it seem as though the onus is on the manufacturers to build and offer electric vehicles, but they can only sell what people buy. This is, realistically, forcing the people of Canada to buy EVs. And there is no way our infrastructure is in place to handle it. I…

I used to joke with my friend who drove one (back in the day) that the thing should have come with a calendar instead of a speedometer. 

Over the years I’ve had a variety of kitchens in my homes, going from tiny and spartan in a cabin to a ridiculously large party kitchen. Ignoring the specifics of appliances, I’ve come to realize that for me at least, as long as there is sufficient floorspace for two people to be in the kitchen at once without bumping…

What in the fucking Pep Boys hell is this??

Fascinating writeup. More of this, please.

With its condition I could probably go $15K if this thing offered some sort of driving experience. But it’s just a barge you take to cars and coffee, and once everyone has seen it, no one will care anymore. This is just too much money for what’s basically a polished turd.

The problem with D&B in my city is that the locations are out in the burbs so not really easy to get to unless you drive. And it seems to me that the arcade games are sort of intended to go hand in hand with drinking. So if I’m going to get the full experience, at least as I perceive it, I have to add in an expensive…

Probably not fair to judge by today’s standards but a 1973 Vega. When it was factory original, it was so slow and poorly built, so lacking in safety equipment that it was a potential death trap every time you left your neighborhood. When I rebuilt it as a teen in auto shop class and stuffed a 350 into it, it was so…

Fortunately, I haven’t changed jobs too often but the biggest change I made was because of a manager.

Generally, but particularly in retail/service, people don’t quit a job, they quit a manager. 

Holy shit. Looks like the only thing that could be parted out might be the wiper blades. 

For several years I lived without owning a car and just rented as needed. Eventually I missed the convenience of just hopping in a car on impulse so decided to buy a fun car, strictly for recreational driving. The irony of my situation was that I kind of needed a car to get around and shop for a car. So, to work…

They just need a name change to sell well (better) in the US. I would bet if they were called something simple but explanatory like Coffee Cookies instead of Digestives they’d find a better reception.

Agreed. This is completely workable in Europe. I’ve taken several trips on high speed rail that were between 2 to 3/5 hours and I couldn’t imagine dealing with the airport bullshit instead. But here in Canada as a case in point, given the state of our passenger rail network, 2.5 hours won’t even get you far enough…

Neutral: I will never ride a bike in my city. Not even if it’s free. I already walk everywhere, including to and from work so I’m already doing my part for the environment, my health or whatever other good thing we might want to say. And to be clear, living within walking distance of everything is entirely by design,…

It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

Great tip for participating this way (without downloading or buying) for those who are so inclined.
