It’s a decent, fun, wrench-able hobby car under all that vinyl, and at that asking price I’d be tempted to call (assuming I was looking for a Z to re-live my youth). As with anything this old, be prepared to pay an extra grand or two get the car that isn’t a fundamental rust-bucket or haked up project. This one only…

Perfect summary of SWFL. 

No, I get that they’re a menace. But blaming the airline for one single bug that you many have brought in yourself is a bit extreme. Isn’t the mature, civil way to handle this to just call it to the attention of the flight crew so that they can monitor the situation and take action if needed?

Very cool and interesting car, but I suspect that the novelty would wear off pretty quickly. ND here. 

Icky, but it’s a bug. If a bee flew into the cabin would any passenger legitimately think they were entitled to 7500 frequent flier miles? And as other’s have noted, how d owe don’t know the passenger themself didn’t bring it on board? 

Man, I can’t believe it’s been 12 years or so since they came out with this car. The styling holds up pretty well, I must say. And though never a fan of Dodge, I do kind of like the look of the Dart.

“Only 6'6"”? What land of giants do you live in? lol

You can get them for $30K; in fact I just did. It’s the Sport model — same 181hp engine as all the others, 6-speed stick and a cloth interior. The key is to avoid the hype and thinking that you need the Brembos, the Recaros, the fancy LSD, the Bose, etc. I’m not going to the track;I’m zipping around and winding it out…

He’s no fool — for all the scrutiny he gets from Congress it’s a smart move to play friendly/patriotic and drive a domestic. I’m sure he has an amazing stable of other toys as well. 

All true. In defense of the missing can-opener, most cans seem to be pull-tabs these days. And the counter space has largely given way to air friers and fancy coffee makers.

I see your Shelby Omni and I raise you a Shelby Lancer.

This is great. 

I think this is the case.

You all remember the Pontiac 6000 STE? There was even an AWD version for a short while. And back in the day you could mention this car in the same conversation along with the Audi 5000 and not get laughed out of the room.

No hard data, but when I think back to my more-or-less middle class 70s/80s upbringing I feel like things were more basic. I mean it’s silly, but not every house had an electric can opener on the counter and that $19 kitchen accessory from the Sears catalog seemed like a bit of an extravagance. I can still hear my dad…

25 years ago the typical household wasn’t paying $250 a month for 4 smartphone lines and $200 a month for internet and cable. Not to mention dining out used to be more of a special-occasion thing and even fast food was, for most, a once in a while meal. Drinks at bars and restaurants didn’t cost $12 a glass, and we…

I’m convinced that the Russian bots that are trying to influence our elections are using the NPOND polls as a training ground, because lately we’ve been seeing some voting that really has me concerned. With some of the cars posted in the last few days we should have seen a 100% result either way (yes on the Ford…

I think my Maverick might have hit 5 recalls so far. But, like the Cybertruck bros, I’ll unpolitically say “I still love it!”

Who doesn’t lust after a nice piece of Sweedish ash from Ikea? 

I was in with a nostalgia NP until I saw the mileage... yikes. At 120K miles, why not. At 238K, run away.
