I’ve never been a fan of all the extra cuts and folds and jigs and jags that they put into modern car bodywork.

Here’s a picture of the engine from the seller’s website. They claimed they had a complimentary Carfax on the car, but I couldn’t find that (but would be interested to see what it says).

We just bought a used Tacoma for ~$20K. Paid $3K up front and transferred $17K from an our existing home equity line of credit (which was unused ($0 balance) at the time) so I could write a check for the remainder at the dealership on the spot. The HELC is one of my bank accounts in the same institution with my…

I’d say any beat up old vehicle would be a good example, preferably an older truck or jeep.

I’ve been cooking my daily morning oatmeal like this for years.

I haven’t seen so many 30 somethings in one place since the last time I went to the tasting room at Ballast Point.

Note that if you are obese or older and overweight, you probably shouldn’t start off running, as the extra weight will be bad for your joints. Start off walking and work your way up in exercise activity as you weigh down (lose weight).

I had a 71 super beetle when I got my first job out of college (it was my college beater car). I was going up an on ramp and ran over some rumble strips on the side of the road on the asphalt.
