Well, the MKZ’s insurance should be paying them enough to cover the cost of a replacement in the current market, so it could be a blessing in disguise since now they have justification for replacing the HHR in this market. But on the other hand - getting the rental, and doing the car shopping (when you need to do…

You need more stars. Alas, I have but one to give.

Uhm, if you grow up outside of the cities in the Midwest then every other person driving down the country road is going to be ready and able to put the deer out of it’s misery, load it up in the car and bring it home to make sausage out of it.  Or at least when I was growing up it was that way.

It also looks as if it has some led lights inside the fenders. That seems like it would help in finding it. Though I am guessing it will be staying parked in a garage for a while until the damage is taken care of. 

Because a lot of the people who knew that sort of random stuff have stopped checking this site after the changes in the last year+.

The ‘83 T-Bird I had would go on around as well. By looking at the back end of the needle I could figure out that 115 was about the max the car would go.

What has happened here? I don’t see a single comment calling out your poorly executed emergency fix for the Pao... Is the internet broken?

Careful, that sort of compensation could push him over the limit of what a writer for this website is considered being worth, and lead to him being let go in favor of a cheaper writer. Then we’re down one more reason to actually visit the site.

Oh thank god that was ‘raptor’ from the angle of the photo I thought it might say ‘rape or’ or maybe ‘rap cor.’ I thought there might be a competitor for worse than Ebussy sexual car name.

I’m already where it is. :) So your here is actually over there for me.

My question is why are you after these when you could be getting this:

How tall are you? These vans usually have enough space, it’s the little trucks that have seats which don’t move. i’m 6'2" with a 34” inseam, and I fit alright in most of them. You can’t fit people behind me in them, but I usually fit comfortably. Though I haven’t tried ones from the 90s.

I saw a Lexus on the road with these mirrors last week, but I couldn’t see inside to figure out where the screens were. Thank you for satisfying my curiousity.

I was more picturing Tavarish standing next to a Bronco shaped sheet saying stay tuned for my next wrench everyday, make it better than original. 

Wait... no one has said it in this thread. I don’t know how it is possible.

One thing to be aware of is how lenient they are on the exterior grading. That A1 scratch means it is somewhere in the size range that a business card can cover it from edge to edge, and it can’t be seen from 20 ft away with bad lighting. G was a chip in the windshield if I recall correctly.

The extra $1000 thrown on is completely normal. If you use goo-net.com instead of exchange and use translate you’d see there are usually two prices. The lower one is the cost of the vehicle, the higher one is the final cost showing $1000-3000 tacked onto the vehicle cost. If you are car shopping in Japan and find an…

You still exist! I was wondering if you might be an option for the in country inspector. Did you join any of the Oppo-rafts?

This is a good solid reason for Mercedes to do it this way, but more likely it’s for the dry run experience to get grey market Smarts into her greedy little hands.

Well, it’s good to know that cops can laugh. I suppose I must concede the win to you though. :)
