This is pretty much just domestic terrorism, save for any apparent cause or movement. The people that are doing this need to face harsh penalties for this crap.

Agreed. I’d far rather pay a few hundred bucks to ruin and replace a rim than stop and get myself killed.

Agreed. I’ve stopped there many times and it’s always kind of grey and empty. I always tell myself that it must be off season, but then it occurs to me that I’ve been there pretty much every time of the year. I’m honestly not sure how it has survived this long. 

Heaven forbid Trump gets back in office; his policies will destroy the economy and our standing in the world, and then of course he will blame it all on Biden — and his supporters will wholeheartedly believe him.

Any gas station within half a mile of an interstate highway in the south. The incessant smell of pee, pot and gasoline, the humid stickiness of everything you touch, the questionable characters hanging out in the energy-drink bottle littered parking lot, and the cashier barricaded behind milky plexiglass selling lotto

Looks like good fun for $10K. NP.

I feel the same way with the getting older thing. And living in FL it’s pretty much always too hot to be out in the garage for long, so the idea of changing into work clothes, getting hot and dirty for an hour and then having to shower/change again seems like a pain. So I never seem to get around to those projects

These things were neat back in their time, but now they just seem kinda meh, with not really great performance, not really great styling, not really great reliability, and a lot of plastic inside and out. I don’t think this is where you want to spend you $15K of fun money. ND.

Probably camping in the infield at Watkins Glen for an IMSA weekend back in around 1991. In addition to the IMSA races there were a bunch of other classes running, and I think we even got to see Walter Payton racing that weekend. Plus the fun of hanging out with new friends in the evenings; it was great. 

There was a time that I would have been all over this, but it’s just too far worn down to make any sense. To make it a true gem it needs a $4K or better paint job and body work, new seats, and all those little issues worked out. Plus I’m in FL, so the no A/C is a killer. I hope it goes to someone that’s trying hard in

You know what might be kind of cool? A modern take on the original fox-body Mustang GT. 

NP for a fun platform. I’d be easy enough to clean up, a blast to zip around it, and I suspect there’s a good amount of aftermarket stuff for this if you feel like getting silly or just upgrading parts as they need replacement. Life is short; have a little affair with a swede!

Not to mention that C3s are based on the chassis of the C2, so you’re talking about a platform that was designed around 1960. That’s 64 years ago. No matter how much you update and refine something like this, it’s lipstick on bacon. 

Nah, this thing has seen some abuse. I mean, there are DENTS in that shifter plate. Maybe it’s been pried out and hammers back in a few times.

I’m all for activism, protesting, making your voice heard and all, but trespassing and vandalism like this make me LESS sympathetic to their cause. Be heard with ideas and solutions, not temper-tantrums. 

This slideshow should simply begin and end with the classic Olds Vista Cruisers. 

I love my Maverick XLT hybrid. With lux package and a few other things it was about $28k. It has me seriously considering selling our other car and simplifying as a 1-car family.

No pics of the engine bay, and looks like a pretty rough respray, too. Aftermarket radio slapped in at an angle. And what the hell has happened to that console? Was the guy swinging a heavy chain around in there?

Sorry, it’s a little too aged and muddled, and that red interior — oh my. I regret selling (years ago) the 1975 4-speed Vette that my dad bought new and eventually gave to me as it would be a great canvas to play with now, but this one looks pretty worn on the interior, has questionably installed bumpers, and with

Imagine the butt-puckering you’d have riding that tin can back into the atmosphere...
