I used to amuse myself by outrunning mopeds on my 10 speed bicycle.  

NYC real estate is insane. As for zoning, all those loft buildings artists lived in the 70s were commercial space. All you need us an extra million for a lawyer to get a certificate of occupancy, and rent one of the upper floors for income.

It’s rare, historically significant and seemingly complete with minimal rust so it makes a straightforward project so NP

This is slightly less bad than the US cops caught watching porn, although significantly more dangerous since the porn addicts were parked

Malaise era GM produced tons of WTF, these are the same people who thought a Chevy Cavalier with a Cadillac badge could compete with a 3 Series BMW.

He wanted it plain like he bought it so he took the money and bought a used Prius C, which got hit and totaled and replaced by another Prius C. 

I feel like this car is either a professional mechanic's new boat fund or a DIY mechanic's life-long quest that will make Bob's 850i seem a,walk in the park

“a dour little device best used as a car bomb”

Back in the early 80s a friend told a tale of woe that a sibling nixed their parents buying a VW GTI because it was two door with a manual and she wanted 4 doors and a slushbox. My reply was "refined automotive torture,  a Chevette Scooter". 

The “couldn’t get it to turn over” symptom makes me think something intermittently locked the engine and caused massive amperage draw because the starter was stalled. A short is also a possibility or a combination of the two. 

Since the headline image is the I-5 bridge between Portland and Vancouver can I also slam ODOT for always wanting to spend money on new stuff for publicity instead fixing the broken stuff. Let’s not even start on the multi billion dollar boondoggle that is the proposed replacement for this bridge.  Bike Portland and…

Since I consider Celine Dion a separatist plot to make Canada disown Quebec I believe blasting Celine Dion is a crime against humanity and should be punished accordingly.

The only way this stops is,with felony convictions for tow companies, forced refund of tow fees and lifetime bans for a second offense. When this BS hits,the wallets it stops. Also RICO definitely applies. As does finding out who they bribe in government, how much they got and how many years in prison for taking…

This reminds me of the incident a few years ago when a friend's so basic it didn't have a radio Honda Civic CX was ripped off and recovered. The thieves had given it the full treatment,  fart cannon loud stereo big wheels and rubber band tires, intake kit and neon. Returning it to stock would have cost too much so the…

My concern with modern Saabs is the computer dependency.  IIRC programming a key fob required connecting to a,computer at Trollhattan and those went offline after the bankruptcy.  I don't worry about consumables and hard parts I worry about electronics. I'd sooner have an old Saab 900 than a 9-3 for this reason  

on a phone it looked like a Semi in front of a building 

This should be charged as criminal negligence.  A properly secured load on a flatbed will survive the Hana Highway without shifting 

Can I downvote your smooth brained car head bloviation?

I am disappointed that development of a modest and useful EV has stopped on the same day yet another massive and wasteful super luxury EV is in the news.

The Tesla Semi lead image is misleading, I immediately started researching Freightliner Cascadia prices. FWIW a day cab comparable to a Tesla semi runs about $150,000 new.
