My neighbor had his frame replaced under Toyota’s recall; they also paid for him to have a rental car the entire time. This was on a nearly 20 year old truck, so yeah, they definitely can (and do) swap them. Cost has to be crazy for them, I’d imagine, but the alternative was even more costly, so...

My three thoughts on this were:

Although I drove from Pittsburgh PA to Portland OR 8 years ago in a 2008 Ford Escape (which was fine; got great mileage on the long highways out west, had room for stuff, could fold the seats down and take a nap if needed), I had more fun in my 89 Mustang GT convertible 25 years ago driving solo from Pittsburgh to…

OK...

NGL, I glanced at the picture and in my mind, thought “this is some PG County or MoCo nonsense” before reading the header.

Is it possible to get some type of fire-suppression mechanism in the trailers that carry these cars, much like the race cars use in their engine compartments? If so, it would seem like cheap insurance, given what some of these guys are carrying around.

That’s the one I’ve seen, out on the QEW.

A stick, a convertible, a rare edition of an already uncommon car, in decent shape for $4k?

(forgot the link to the article on the Pontiac-oops!)

Love this article! Here’s a couple of things to go down the rabbit hole on, based off of the slides:

That’s making the assumption that someone in America is purchasing this, cause...

“I never thought I’D get banned!”

Yes, that’s better!

I do like most of these wheel designs, though they seem like they would be a PITA to clean with all that intricacy.

I liked them, but they didn’t stand out much more than one of these of that time:

IDK, I’m kind of an optimist. I look at it like, if you must have one of these, you definitely want to get the best example of it that you can. If this isn’t it, it must be pretty close, because out of those 3000 spyders, how many are left, and out of the ones that are left, which ones are in running/driving condition?

How much is an AirTag? Geez!

I honestly didn’t know this. I thought they were just a brand that was known for safety, that you bought when you didn’t want to spend Benz/BMW money on a European car, but wanted the niceties of those, and what I’d assumed was the perceived reliability also. Speaking of, when I think of “reliability” as being applied…

NGL, the whole Kia thing was immediately what came to mind, except people in Kias are in them cause they probably have to be; no one needs to have a Cybertruck, and I’m sorry, but in this day and age, if people are dumb enough to leave a backpack/ purse/ valuables laying around in their car...not saying it should…
