Changes the “mouth” and I can actually dig the design.

Dealer is local to me and seems to sort of specialize in older cars that aren't that special, leaning heavily into water cooled VWs.  Often has a little bit of humor or commentary in the ad copy and is pretty straightforward about telling you what you are getting.

After the ship’s sinking, Willson claims he no longer owns the Aurora.

Ah yes the taxpayer always gets stuck with the bill. Shit rolls downhill.

Holy shit that’s bonkers. How does someone unintentionally stab someone? Why was a stabbing implement being brandished?!

Since it’s in the hands of a dealer, I’m surprised the asking price isn’t 2-3x that in search of a nostalgia market.

So what would we actually need to do in order to go to mars?

Ooof 35th high school reunion was last year. I skipped it (as I have all reunions). I have a serious Peter Pan complex and just cannot deal with people my own age. Fortunately my wife has the same complex so we grow older with a group of friends ten - 15 years our juniors.

If there’s one thing everyday Americans are most concerned about, it’s definitely Elon Musk sending people to Mars next year.

Translation: My rent-seekin’ ass won’t be able to soak the US Treasury for this shit if Kamala is elected.

If Trumpster wins, we still won’t go to Mars, because that’s still decades away from being possible.  Muskrat is just trying to seed an excuse for when he blows past his timetable once again.  How many times has said he’s solved autonomy, it’s only government red tape holding it back from a public rollout?  This is…

And if something breaks much cheaper and easier to fix than something newer.

NP buy it for your teenager and enjoy their embarrassment.

MR-S forgot utility. In an era with miata, the ability to carry 1 passenger and a ham sandwitch was too shit for even the weekend toy buyers.  You aren't going to sell a Toyota that forgets commuting to work. 

turning it into a stainless steel brick

Nah, this was basically made in a shed, and what was made in a shed can be restored in a shed. And who would be able to tell whether the tailgate you made is perfectly original or not? My neighbor who builds hot rods in a shed in his backyard could fab up a tailgate for that thing in a couple of days. I doubt they…

You forgot “nobody knows more about insurance than me.”

I’m calling this an irrational NP!

Homeowner’s insurance in the laissez-faire wet-dream of a state he lives in, governed by his very own mini-me, is is wildly expensive and getting worse by the second. Let’s see Fascist Inc. control those rates first before we even pretend to believe anything else they say.
